Evaporator fan motor for a Kenmore 79571053.014.

I am pretty sure that this is the correct part: [https://www.amazon.com/LG-4681JB1027C-Evaporator-Fan-Motor/dp/B00LGUF0G2/ref=sr\_1\_fkmr0\_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1503078032&sr=8-2-fkmr0&keywords=kenmore+part+Part+%23%3A+EAU60694512](https://www.amazon.com/LG-4681JB1027C-Evaporator-Fan-Motor/dp/B00LGUF0G2/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1503078032&sr=8-2-fkmr0&keywords=kenmore+part+Part+%23%3A+EAU60694512)

However, I have always had trouble replacing Kenmore parts. Will this one work?

I don’t know if that will work, but the motor you listed is $39.20, while I found the same motor on the Sears Parts Direct [website](http://www.searspartsdirect.com/part-number/EAU61524001/0046/795.html?modelNumber=79571053014&categoryName=Bottom-Mount%20Refrigerator&brandName=KENMORE%20ELITE) for $28.12. I would be more confident of the part from the Sears website.

Also, is there a button to press on this model that will tell me the temperature in the refrigerator and freezer?

I don’t know. Why don’t you ask someone who has that model refrigerator in their house, and presumably has the _owner’s manual_?

Here’s the [owner’s manual](http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/user-manuals/79571053014-kenmore-elite-parts-manual?manualIndex=0).
