The Motor-Condenser Fan is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This motor drives the condenser fan, which is essential for cooling the compressor and expelling heat from the refrigerator. By maintaining optimal temperatures within the cooling system, it ensures the efficient operation of the refrigerator.
Over time, the motor-condenser fan can fail due to electrical issues, wear and tear, or exposure to dust and debris. A malfunctioning fan motor can lead to overheating and reduced cooling efficiency.
Symptoms of a bad motor-condenser fan include:
- The refrigerator running continuously or not cooling properly
- Unusual noises from the back of the refrigerator
- The compressor overheating
- Poor airflow around the condenser coils
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
