Customer Questions and Answers for Condenser Fan Motor by Whirlpool

This condenser fan motor spins the fan that moves air across the condenser coils and around the compressor. Replacing a weak or seized motor restores proper heat removal so the cooling system can maintain stable temperatures and run efficiently.

• Drives the condenser fan to move airflow through the condenser section
• Helps dissipate heat from the refrigeration system and cool the compressor
• Failure may present as the condenser fan not running
• May also cause warm temperatures, longer run times, or loud scraping/whirring noises near the rear or bottom of the unit
• Can contribute to the compressor running hot

• Disconnect power before servicing; use gloves to protect from sharp edges
• Access the condenser area; install the new motor in the same orientation as the original
• Transfer the existing fan blade, bracket, and grommets if required; keep wiring clear of the blade
• Restore power and verify fan operation with the system running
