   • Gently pull the evaporator cover away from the back wall to expose the fan motor and evaporator coils.
3. Replace the Fan Motor:
   • Disconnect the electrical plug from the old fan motor.
   • Remove the old fan motor from its housing. Note how it is secured (e.g., clips, screws, rubber gaskets).
   • Transfer any necessary components, such as rubber sleeves or gaskets, from the old fan to the new one.
   • Install the new evaporator fan motor into the housing, ensuring it is securely seated.
   • Connect the electrical plug to the new fan motor.
4. വീണ്ടും കൂട്ടിച്ചേർക്കുക:
