Abstract
A two-piece electric fan motor mounting arrangement for use in a domestic refrigerator cabinet which is designed to provide improved dampening of motor torque vibrations while allowing for easy assembly by reducing the number of parts. The mount includes a blower orifice housing and a U-shaped bracket, each molded of plastic, with the result that the mount has no effect on the motor magnetic flux path, thus permitting more efficient motor performance at the designed R.P.M. of the fan impeller while eliminating the requirement for electrical grounding.
