Joe for Model Number ED27DSXDW05 I have a Whirlpool refrigerator with a noisy condenser fan. I got the part number from Whirlpool (which is an updated number) but the "new" motor in all the pictures I have found is larger, has a metal blade instead of plastic and has a different wiring connector than the one on my refrigerator. While the motor and fan may fit, it would not plug in. Should I expect to have to modify the wiring (cut the connectors off) to install this motor? I didn't want to do this if there is another solution.
Answer Hello Joe, The condenser fan motor WP2169135 should operate fine if you cut off the connectors and wire nut the wires together. Remember that the smooth wire is hot and the ridged wire is the neutral return. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Wednesday, November 7, 2012
