If the fan blade isn't melted, damaged, or broken....see if it will come off the motor without damage. If it will, then reuse it (with an OEM motor). This means taking it all apart before ordering anything.

Aftermarket can be a crapshoot, you never know if it will be exactly the same as original. Blade may or may not fit.


Fans and motors are not identical-- right/left sides. Be sure of which you are getting. And be sure of what someone else is ordering.

Also, the little bitty screws that hold the motor to the fan shroud are usually corroded and stuck here. Heat will get them out but can melt the plastic shroud, and cutting them off can melt it too.. I always order new screws with a motor.




OEM parts all the way for me.



I'd be diagnosing it FIRST to be sure of what the problem really is.

I bought the fan switch and motor and the fan switch turned out to be the problem so no need to replace the motor so I returned it!
