Part Number: OEM12797880
Manufacturer Part Number: WR60X10209

The Condenser Fan Motor is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This fan motor circulates air in the fridge, helping to cool the compressor and condenser coils for better temperature control. It also evaporates extra water in the drain pan, stopping problems from water buildup.  

Symptoms of a failing condenser fan motor include:

  • The refrigerator running hotter than usual
  • Loud noise or rattling sounds coming from the back of the refrigerator
  • The refrigerator cycling on and off more frequently or for longer periods

Causes of condenser fan motor failure typically include wear and tear from continuous use, dust and debris accumulation obstructing fan movement, or electrical issues such as faulty wiring or capacitor problems.

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

Note: This is a (12-volt DC) fan motor. For the (115-volt AC) fan motor, order part number WR60X10220.

Questions & Answers

Hello Zachary. Sorry, this is variable speed and varies on the RPM. As for the sensors, they are in the side walls inside the cabinet behind the covers on the wall with the vents in them.

Hello Troy. Look and see if there is frost on the back wall in the freezer. If so, It sounds like you may have a defrost problem with the unit. Check and see if there is any frost build up on the back wall of the freezer. If so, you will need to test the defrost heater and the defrost thermostat. They should read closed for continuity when cold. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. I will include a link at the end to assist you how to use the multi-meter if needed. If both parts are good, you will need to replace the defrost timer. Once the problem is repaired, you will need to thaw out the ice on the coils before the unit will operate properly. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

Jtomac01, You will want to check to see if the evaporator fan is running. If not then you will want to check power to the fan which should be 12 vdc. If there is not power to the fan then you would need a new control board. If the fan is working then check for a defrost issue. When you uncover the rear wall of the freezer compartment, if the coils are impacted with ice you will need to check the defrost heater and limiter to make sure that they have continuity. If not then replace the part. If they do then the issue would be either the defrost thermistor or the control board. You can check resistance of the thermistor which will tell you whether it is faulty or not.

Honey, You will want to check to make sure that the condenser coils on the back of the unit behind the compressor cover are clean. Also make sure that the condenser fan motor WR60X10209 is operating. An inoperative fan motor or dirty coils can cause the compressor to overheat and shut down until it has time to cool down.

Hi. Open the freezer door and feel in the back to see if the evaporator fan part # WR60X10074 is running. If it is then close that door and open the fresh food door. Feel inside the top left of the cabinet for incoming air through the dampener part # WR09X10050. If there is no air flow in the vents then remove the dampener assy. Disconnect the electrical connector. Manually open the inside flap top a 50% rate and block it open so your unit will return to normal temperatures until you get the new part. Remove the lower left crisper drawer and see if the is anything stuck in the return or if the flapper does not work correctly. Thank You.

Tom, Unless you mis typed your information, you will need to recheck the the DC voltage at the main control board. The J2 connector on the board, pin3(white) to pin 5 (yellow) has to have at least 12 VDC, pin 3(white) to pin 8(red) has to have at least 12 VDC. If you have at least 12 VDC on the tested pins, then the main control board is OK, and you'll need to check the wiring from the control board to the fan motor and the fan motor resistance (1.5 to 3.0 ohms resistance) If all's OK, you have a faulty fan motor.
