How to Troubleshoot & Replace Samsung AP4135455 / DA31-00010D Refrigerator Fan Assembly

Removed fan blade and installed new after removing the threaded spacer. 

Vacumed coils and replaced fan. 

Take off old fan and replace it with the new fan. Very easy job!!! 

This is the 3rd motor replaced on Samsung side by side since 2016. Ordered the exact fan motor on this site on 2/2016, 5/2018, and again on 5/2021..The price of the motor has more than doubled but the quality is yet to be desired. Very simple and easy installation ..The videos on this site are spot on! 

Replaced condenser fan and blade. The factory had used epoxy on the fan shaft where it affixed to the fan so it was slightly hard to pull off after removal of fan blade spring. I did not need to replace the rubber grommet. 

Googled the symptoms. Diagnosed the problem as failing condenser fan motor. Ran my fridge model number and found the correct parts at AppliancePartsPros.com, which guaranteed next day shipping. It arrived promptly and I was able to install the replacement fairly easily with the help of a YouTube DIY video. Solved the problem quickly, affordably and effectively and didn't have to throw out any food. I'm super proud of myself. 

Removed and replaced fan and motor. Replaced 10 years ago for $29.95. $140.00 this time. Outrageous. 

Just like in life, my refrigerator fan and motor got sick and tired of being sick and tired. One day, it gave up. Cold food no more...I had to do something, something drastic! I went online, found the exact motor with Appliance Pros...and ordered it! So easy...so simple...so satisfied! 

Replaced condenser motor and fan. 

I went on YouTube & found a video describing the same symptoms. Then, searching the internet I found AppliancePartsPros.com & ordered the parts needed, being a new fan motor & blade, as well as the water solenoids. The repair was very straightforward & took less than an hour from start TO FINISH.
