Customer Questions and Answers for Condenser Motor Kit by Whirlpool

Washington for Model Number ED5GHGXMB00

Answer Hello Washington. You test for power to the fan motor. If there is power there, then then motor is bad. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html 

Hugh for Model Number Gd5shaxkq00

Answer Hugh, You'll need to check the ADC board 4388932 for power out to the cold control Terminal 4 (orange) wire to the cold control and terminal 3 (red) to both fans and terminal 1 (black) for power into the ADC board. All your checks will be to terminal 6 (white) or chassis ground for 120 VAC. 

Carrie for Model Number Ksrp25fnssoo

Answer Hello Carrie. If it is the fan inside the freezer, you will need to order part number 2315549 for the fan motor. If it is the fan on the back of the unit by the compressor, you will need to order part number W10124096 for the condenser fan motor. 

Vicki T for Model Number Kenmore Refridgerator 106.574106600

Answer Vicki, The condenser fan serves two purposes, it circulates air through the condenser assembly, this cools the hot refrigerant that is circulating through the condenser coils " All refrigerators cool by removing heat from the cabinet rather than pumping in cool air. In a conventional refrigerator, liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator and vaporizes (boils) due to the low pressure, creating a very cold surface which removes heat from inside the cabinet. This causes the refrigerant to boil (evaporate) into a vapor state and be drawn into the compressor. The compressor pressurizes the vapor and pumps it into the condenser. The hot vapor in the condenser gives off the heat into the room. As the vapor cools, it condenses back into a liquid and returns to the evaporator to start the process over again." At the same time, it is also cooling the compressor. The hotter the refrigerant, the less efficient it is, and you will notice a loss of coolig in the freezer and refrigerator. You'll want to change that fan motor as soon as possible.

Taylor for Model Number RS25AGXNQ00

Smr for Model Number GC5SHEXNQ00

Answer Hello Smr. The fan should be hard to put on so it cannot slip on the shaft W10124096. I would not however, hammer it on. You should be able to simply slide it on with hard constant force. Hope this helped you!
