Fan motor is bad...part is discontinued everywhere I look. Is there anywhere I can find a replacement for it ? Model number is DWC513BLS
The problem with the factory fan is that it is a sleeve-bearing fan. On average, a fan should operate for about 50,000 hours, which if it runs continuously would be over five years. However when the operating temperature rises or the fan is installed "not exactly" vertically, it will have shorter life.
I had to replace my fan two times withing two years since we bought the unit! Plus the stock fan becomes quite noisy after a couple of months of work.
With all of these problems I did some research for better fans and decided to purchase a ball-bearing fan to install it into the cooler by myself.
Ball-bearing fans on average outlast sleeve-bearing fans by 50 percent and produce less noise.
It's very important to purchase the right AC 115 Volts fan for this Danby wine cooler.
The original fan is Rullian Science RAL 1225S2 (120x120x25 mm in size, 100-125V AC, 0.09A)
The replacement model is Orion OA12AP-11-3TB which I got for $16.75 from Mouser Electronics (mouser.com). The replacement model is ball-bearing cooling fan with slightly higher/better parameters, which will help to cool down the wine cooler coil faster.
To replace the fan you need to tilt the wine cooler on the side and unscrew two small screws at the bottom that keep the original fan in place, remove one screw to the black box where the fan wires are attached and unplug these wires. Then you just need to replace it with the new fan and test that it works properly. If you never used Soldering Tool before you probably will be better off with getting some help from certified electrician - it still will be less expensive than getting this fan ordered every year from Danby.

SOURCE: Danby Silhouette DWC513BLS lower back fan noise.
Called Danby customer service. Requested repleacement part of lower fan unit. Located at bottom right on back of unit. Part was $6.68 plus shipping. Less than $10 total. At my door in 3 days. Plug and play piece that was easy to change. A very cheap fix and I hate to think what a service call would have been. Danby ph # is 800-263-2629.,

Are you certain the evap fan is bad? If it is, you can access it through the freezer section. Either the floor, or the back wall of the freezer. The associated screws should be easily seen.
SOURCE: inside fan on Keg Cooler needs to be replaced
Call them and ask to buy the part it should be pretty cheap. I just bought a replacement keypad for mine and they sold it to me right on the phone no hassles
SOURCE: Danby DWC513BLS does not cool. Fan is on, but
Before you worry about where to get parts,you need to know what is wrong and what parts you will need. When a compressor does not run but the fan motor does, then either the compessor is bad (in which case you need refrigeration expertise) or the starter components have failed ( in which case you can replace. The two most common failed parts are the start relay or the overload (both attached to the compressor. Goodluck, Macgivor
This problem could be caused by the
motherboard having defective relays, bad fan motor=> DA31-00103A Fan Motor Sounds like
someone will need to examine the fan motor and test the voltage to the fans
inside and outside the refrigerator. You will need to have this done to eliminate
what the cause is. Both condensor and evaporator fan motors are the same part=> DA31-00103A Fan Motor Let me know and I will explain how to remove, test or replace the
freezer/evaporator fan motor, wiring or motherboart. Thanks Sea Breeze

from the EPA. If you need to do so I recommend you call in a certified technician. 826 views
