This condenser fan motor spins the fan that moves air across the condenser coils and around the compressor. Replacing a weak or seized motor restores proper heat removal so the cooling system can maintain stable temperatures and run efficiently.

• Drives the condenser fan to move airflow through the condenser section
• Helps dissipate heat from the refrigeration system and cool the compressor
• Failure may present as the condenser fan not running
• May also cause warm temperatures, longer run times, or loud scraping/whirring noises near the rear or bottom of the unit
• Can contribute to the compressor running hot

• Disconnect power before servicing; use gloves to protect from sharp edges
• Access the condenser area; install the new motor in the same orientation as the original
• Transfer the existing fan blade, bracket, and grommets if required; keep wiring clear of the blade
• Restore power and verify fan operation with the system running

The Shelf Stud is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It serves as a support peg that holds the refrigerator shelves in place, ensuring they remain stable and properly positioned.

Symptoms of a bad shelf stud include:

• Shelves not staying securely in place
• Shelves tilting or collapsing
• Visible cracks or damage to the stud
• Difficulty in inserting or removing shelves

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This is a rear stud with a screw. For the front stud with screw use part number W11223328. For studs with no screw use kit part number 4388538.
