I am doing a DIY on my LG refrigerator. My freezer/refrigator fan evaporator motor gave out. I ordered the part but the parts place sent me the wrong motor twice. It is different from the original part but they claim it is for that model ( I can only assume that maybe this is the aftermarket replacement). It has the same amps and voltage DC but is bigger and has different numbers on the case that I am not sure what represent. Can't get a resolution or answer to my question from them and I have zero knowledge on this stuff so I am coming here to check if it would be compatible/safe because the new motor technically fits.

I'm not really sure if this is a big deal in the first place, I can't image anything going wrong but I also don't want to be further damage my refrigerator.

My LG refrigerator model is lrfws2906d

Here is the original motor(smaller and different numbers on the case, 6 and 8) enter image description here

The new motor that came in has these markings(L7-4,R7-3) enter image description here enter image description here

    Usually if it has the same voltage and amps and fits the mounting it should work. Most of the rest is difference in efficiently and quality. – crip659 Apr 14 '23 at 13:39

If it fits in the space available, has compatible mounting, shaft dimensions, and has the same electrical (volts & amps) and mechanical (speed & direction) characteristics, then I don't see why you couldn't use it

Does it FIT? The replacement might, just might, be a part re-engineered to not fail like the original, smaller one did. If it fits in the fridge, that seems quite likely.
