Condenser motor on my Whirlpool refrigerator was bad, refrigerator was hot to the touch

I found the video from AppliancePartspPros.com online. I originally thought I was going to have to buy a new refrigerator. The video was amazing and it showed exactly how to change the part. I purchased the part from AppliancePartsPros.com (they were much cheaper than other sites). The exact OEM part I needed arrived in 2 days and I was able to replace the part easily. Even one of the maintenance guys in my building was impressed. I had no previous experience fixing anything like this. It saved me hundreds of dollars in a service call and even more had I just bought a new refrigerator. I would HIGHLY recommend AppliancePartsPros.com.

Fan motor that kept compressor cool was noisy

I already knew what the problem was, but watching your video helped greatly to simplify the task. I also want to mention that in the past I have done other repairs to this refridgerator such as the compressor starter kit and thermostat. By watching your step by step video on how to repair and replace took all of the guess work out of the task. It also saved me hundreds of dollars in repair cost such as repairman service call and parts mark up on top of that. I'm that savings was more than $500.00. Thanks again for your great web site and parts. I have an icon on my computer for your web site in case I need help in the future. Great Job !! thank you, Phil Waltrip Pensacola, Fl.

Refrigerator getting very hot to touch on the outside.

Watched the tutorial video on AppliancePartsPros.com and installed new condenser fan motor. Went very smooth and straight forward. Saved myself $240 by DIY.

My compressor got hot, inspection showed the fan motor wasn't turning.

I ordered a new motor. W/O fan. When new motor came it was larger. I found the mounting holes would line up for the new motor. The electrical plug would fit. The new motor had a larger shaft and was threaded. 1/4 inch. I was able to adapt my old blade to the new shaft by drilling it out. It was plastic. I found a nut that would fit and screwed it on with a lock washer. So far so good on this but I should have ordered the fan blade also.
