Frequently Asked Questions
What is NMB-MAT 12035GE-12M-YT?
The 12035GE-12M-YT is a 12 VDC brushless refrigerator cooling fan motor identified in appliance service information and NMB-MAT commercial listings. It is primarily associated with evaporator air circulation in compatible refrigeration systems rather than being a universally specified square-frame industrial axial fan.
What is the rated voltage of 12035GE-12M-YT?
The documented nominal supply is 12 VDC. This voltage appears in commercial product references and Samsung appliance documentation for the 12035GE-12M-YT family. Confirm the exact fan marking and refrigerator circuit requirements before applying power.
What does the 0.26A marking mean?
The 0.26 A figure is identified as the fan label current in a Samsung parts specification. The same documentation lists a running current of 190 mA ±15% and a power rating of 2.28 W for a documented refrigerator application. The label value and operating current describe different electrical references, so 0.26 A should not automatically be treated as the actual current measured during normal operation.
What is the power consumption of 12035GE-12M-YT?
Samsung service documentation lists 2.28 W for its 12035GE-12M-YT-F1 motor configuration. Multiplying the 12 V label voltage by 0.26 A produces 3.12 W, but this is only a calculation from the label values and not the documented running power for the -F1 assembly. The power rating of other suffixes requires separate confirmation.
What are the dimensions of 12035GE-12M-YT?
Samsung documentation specifies a 120 mm diameter, ten-blade impeller for the -F1 version. A commercial listing for -F5 describes a 120 × 120 × 35 mm format, but other replacement-parts references show different molded fan assemblies. Do not assume every version has a standard square 120 mm frame. Compare the actual housing, impeller and mounting dimensions.
What is the fan speed of 12035GE-12M-YT?
Samsung documents 1775 RPM for its -F1 configuration. A separate supplier advertises 2100 RPM for a -F5 configuration. Because these values relate to different versions, the complete suffix should be identified before assigning a rated speed to the fan being purchased.
Does 12035GE-12M-YT have three wires?
Common commercially documented versions use a three-wire harness and appliance connector. The connection may carry power and a control or feedback function, but the exact function and pin assignments of the third wire are not established by the abbreviated model number. The existing fan connector and equipment wiring should be checked.
Is 12035GE-12M-YT an axial fan or a blower?
The product is most reliably identified by its appliance function as a refrigerator evaporator cooling fan motor. Some sellers categorize assembled versions as axial fans, while others describe molded blower-style refrigerator cooling assemblies. The fan geometry and housing should be identified from the complete version and physical part rather than relying on a generic category name.
What is the difference between 12035GE-12M-YT-F1 and 12035GE-12M-YT-F5?
Both are listed within the 12 VDC 12035GE-12M-YT family. The -F1 configuration has Samsung-documented values of 1775 RPM and 2.28 W, while a third-party -F5 listing specifies 2100 RPM and other performance figures. No single verified manufacturer comparison establishes that these versions have identical connectors, motor controls or mechanical assemblies.
Can 12035GE-12M-YT replace Samsung refrigerator fan part DA31-00334C?
A Samsung refrigerator parts list identifies DA31-00334C as a BLDC fan motor using the 12035GE-12M-YT designation. This supports the association for that documented application, but replacement suitability still depends on the exact refrigerator model, complete motor configuration and connector arrangement. Do not assume compatibility with every appliance using a similar fan.
What applications use 12035GE-12M-YT?
Its most clearly documented application is refrigerator evaporator cooling, including freezer air circulation and air distribution in compatible multi-compartment appliances. Some commercial sellers also market particular assemblies for other electronic cooling applications, but suitability for those applications should be verified individually.
What should be checked before ordering 12035GE-12M-YT?
Confirm the complete model 12035GE-12M-YT and any additional -F1, -F2, -F3, -F4 or -F5 suffix; 12 VDC supply; 0.26 A fan label marking; running current where specified; three-wire harness; connector shape and pinout; motor and impeller mounting; blade diameter; fan rotation; housing clearance; and the refrigerator manufacturer's appliance part number. For replacement purposes, photographs of the existing fan label, impeller, connector and mounting arrangement can help prevent selecting an incompatible assembly.
