In searching for an evaporator fan for my kenmore french door bottom freezer refrigerator model 795.72493.611 I am having trouble figuring out the exact fan model number. Can someone help me out or point me in the correct direction.

Did you look up the part using the actual model number of the refrigerator - the number that is shown on the data plate?

In my experience trying to find parts for appliances, especially Kenmore brand ones, I have come across instances where many different appliances with different model numbers are functionally identical, with identical repair parts. It may be beneficial to reach out to someone familiar with ordering repair parts, either someone at a supply house or an appliance repair specialist, to help locate a fan that will fit your freezer.

I was going to pop in and say the OP’s fridge is almost certainly built by LG.

But good that they found the part.
