Hello Harry. Usually the evaporator fan motor is located inside the freezer behind the back panel.

Lee for Model Number KSSC48FMS02

I bought an evaporator fan motor to fix an intermittent loud noise from the freezer compartment. It helped, but after a week, the problem is back. I'm thinking that the temporary fix had to do with a worn part that is causing the fan to vibrate and loose efficiency. (When the loud noise occurs, the freezer warms up) I believe this because pressing on the evaporator cover can make the noise go away temporarily. The most obvious candidate is the soft plastic insert that goes on the motor shaft. It is molded to fit inside the fan scroll but I can't see it on my parts list as a separate item. Perhaps it is part of the fan blade. What else could be worn? Fan motor retainer? Suggestions?

Hello Lee, There should be a rubber grommet WP2176759 on both sides of the evaporator fan motor. If one is missing, it will cause a loud rattling sound.
