The Condenser Fan Motor is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is designed to circulate air through the condenser coils, helping to dissipate heat and keep the refrigerator's internal components cool. This ensures efficient operation and prevents the compressor from overheating, which is essential for maintaining the refrigerator's performance and longevity.
You should replace the condenser fan motor if it becomes faulty. Causes of a bad fan motor can include electrical failures, wear and tear from regular use, or blockages that cause the motor to overheat or burn out. A malfunctioning fan motor can lead to inadequate cooling, increased energy consumption, and potential damage to other refrigerator components.
Symptoms of a bad condenser fan motor include:
- The refrigerator not cooling properly
- Unusual noises coming from the back of the refrigerator
- The compressor running hot or cycling on and off frequently
- The condenser coils feeling excessively hot
This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
