FAN MOTOR AND FAN MOTOR ASSEMBLY FOR AN APPARATUS SUCH AS A REFRIGERATOR

摘要

An apparatus such as a refrigerator includes a fan motor and a fan motor assembly. The fan motor assembly includes fastening brackets on opposed lateral surfaces or sides of the body or housing of the fan motor, and a fan fastening unit that is attached to the fan motor (e.g., the body or housing) using the fastening brackets, thereby reducing noise and vibration due to operation of the fan motor, enhancing the flow of air around the fan motor, minimizing an installation space of the fan motor, and reducing the manufacturing cost of the fan motor assembly.
