I checked all my resources and found nothing available but did run across this video on youtube:

They have a website that apparently has an OEM and non-OEM solution. I have no affiliation with them. Jumpstartapplianceparts.com.  It's quite pricey but they do appear to have it. Proceed at your own risk.

Thanks citizenx! Good find. You’re right, it’s pricey. I’ve already replaced this motor once when it was widely available. Much cheaper. If I can find one cheaper somewhere else I may buy or just throw the fridge away. It’s becoming too annoying. The stupid ice maker doesn’t work also!

If the evap fan isn't running right (or at all)  then it won't get cold enough for the ice maker to work.

I think this refrigerator is made by Daewoo and not sure what happened with the vendor that makes the fan but that really stinks if you have to trash the thing for a fan motor. I know nothing about the particulars of that motor but if its a standard 120v evap motor then you could probably MacGyver a fan motor to fit, but if it's a proprietary fit motor or a DC voltage motor with a sensing circuit then things get a lot more complicated.

The motor is 12vDC I can’t find an exact match online. I don’t know where the guy is getting that motor he’s selling for 149.95  I see a close match on Amazon, but it’s 12V 4W not 2.4 like the one I have. Could it possibly work?

The wattage difference shouldn't be a problem but three main issues to consider are the rotation, shaft size for the fan blade, and the signal/feedback wires if the original is a three or four wire. The description you posted says CCW, which means counter-clockwise rotation so if the original is also CCW then great. If not, that one won't work. The other potential issue is that the control board reads fan information via the signal/feedback wires and will adjust voltage output to the fan to increase or decrease the rpm's based on cooling demand. If the board isn't seeing the correct information from the fan it was designed for,  it could possibly cause an issue with error codes or not running properly. All that said, it may work just fine but there's no real way to know unless you just try it and see if it works.
