DA97-12608B Samsung Refrigerator Fresh Food Evaporator Cover And Fan Assembly – Fix Your Fridge That's Not Cooling, Running Warm, or Making Noise

The complete fix for a Samsung refrigerator that's not cooling properly, has a warm fresh food compartment, makes loud humming or clicking noises, or has frost buildup on the back wall. The evaporator fan is responsible for circulating cold air from the evaporator coils throughout the refrigerator compartment. When this fan fails — due to a burned-out motor, frozen fan blades, or worn bearings — cold air can't circulate, causing the fridge section to warm up while the freezer may still work fine. Common signs include the fresh food section running warm (40°F+), frost or ice buildup on the back panel, loud humming, buzzing, clicking, or squealing noises from behind the rear panel, or the fan not running at all when the door is closed. If your Samsung fridge freezer is cold but the refrigerator section is warm — a failed evaporator fan is the most likely cause. This genuine OEM Samsung part includes the evaporator cover and integrated fan motor assembly. Directly replaces DA97-12608A and DA97-12608C. Fits Samsung French door and side-by-side refrigerators. Moderate 30–45 minute DIY repair that restores proper cooling and air circulation.
