The Condenser Motor Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It includes a motor, fan blade, wire harness, and hardware, designed to replace the existing condenser motor in your refrigerator. This kit is crucial for maintaining the appliance's cooling efficiency by circulating air through the condenser coils and over the compressor, helping to dissipate heat and prevent overheating.
Over time, the condenser motor can fail due to mechanical wear, electrical issues, or blockages that restrict airflow and cause the motor to overheat.
Symptoms of a bad Condenser Motor Kit include:
- The refrigerator does not cool adequately
- Unusual noises from the back of the refrigerator where the motor is located
- The refrigerator compressor runs hotter than normal
- Increased electrical consumption as the refrigerator tries to maintain cooling efficiency
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
