- 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
What's included: 1 condenser fan motor Install notes:
- 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 outside of my frigidare refrigerator felt hot near the door gasket on both side of the freezer Trent S. • Bethlehem , PA • May 27, 2014
I found several "threads" on my google search which indicated that it might be caused by a non-functional condenser fan. I removed the back bottom panel and voila, the fan was not spinning even though the compressor was running and felt very hot. If I spun the blades, the fan would run, but as soon as the compressor shut off, it would not start up again without my help. The replacement part was easy to find at AppliancePartsPros.com. I ordered it and had it within 48 hours. I didn't even need...

A failed freezer door switch was causing the fridge to display that the door was open when it was not this caused it to beep at random Kara H. • Charleston , SC • March 08, 2016
We actually were able to determine that one of the freezer switches was bad and taped it down for about 3 days. The beeping stopped. Our fridge has two freezer switches and one fridge side switch. I ordered all three from these guys. They were cheaper than Whirlpool by about $20 for parts and about $15 for shipping. The part numbers had superseded too many times to count, usually that doesn't matter but in this case it did. The new parts were just slightly bigger than the old parts AND...

Ice maker failed James T. • Summerville , SC • June 02, 2015
Purchased a new ice maker, and mounting bracket, installed them, plugged in the ice maker. One note of advice. Put your old ice maker and ALL extra parts in a safe place where you can find them, but your significant other cannot. Why? Because if your significant finds them he/she may dispose of them and you will need them to install your new ice maker, I have learned the hard way.

Water dispenser was no longer working Kelly W. • Houston , TX • January 24, 2017
After being told by a service repairman that it would cost me close to $200 to repair, I resolved to just not use the dispenser. After about a year, I had decided that I wanted to repair it and would look at the options myself. At the least, I could figure out which parts were needed to repair it and have them on hand for a service guy if I determined I could not do the job myself. The more I studied it, the more I felt confident that I could do it, and sure enough, when the part arrived - a...

Replaced door latch and switch. Parts are plastic so you must know what you are doing to avoid breaking new parts. Videos were hard to find for my model - eventually I found a video that addressed a different problem but required disassembly of a washer cabinet similar to mine. I removed the control panel using a putty knife and unplugged the wire to the latch switch. Then I remove 3 screws securing the washer's top panel to the back panel. Using a rubber mallet, I gently knocked the top panel...
