Customer Questions and Answers for Condenser Motor Kit by Whirlpool

Craig, with the power cord unplugged and the water line disconnected, the back tube cover, toe kick, and compressor access cover would need to be removed. From there, the base mounting screws would need to be removed to allow the ice machine shell to lift slightly up and push to the front of the base. Care will need to be taken to prevent the sealed system tubes from pinching. Once the shell is forward enough, the condenser fan can be replaced by removing the condenser housing and replacing the motor.

Hello Ryan, the manufacturer has subbed the original fan motor to a kit W10124096 which has the motor,fan blade, and wire harness adapter. Please repost your question with the ref model number, the motor part number and the number of wires that go to the original fan motor .

Joe, If you defrosted the unit, allow 24 hours to get to the proper temperature and if the thermostat was not the issue it will take a week or 2 to know because it will take that long to frost up again.

Chris, No multimeter, that's going to make things tough. Power to the condenser fan (120 VAC) is supplied to the motor from the main control board W10219463 / W10219463 Cntrl-Elec.(which is no longer available from the manufacturer). You'll need a test light or multimeter to check for the voltage across the red/white and white wires at the motor. If there's no voltage, then you'll need to check for voltage out at the main control board across the red/white and white wires on the board, with the compressor running. no voltage, acquire and replace the electronic control board.

Your condenser motor for this unit is part W10124096. Replacing parts is more cost effective and you have a unit that's proven to be a solid product for 17 years.

Bill, If you have 4 individual wire that go to the motor meaning they each go into their own slot then the W11613295 will be correct and if you have 2 red that go into one junction and 2 white that go into one junction then this will be the motor W10124096 that is needed.

Arnie, According to the manufacturer and the tech sheet for this unit the Evaporator fan motor W11671461 which is located in the Freezer compartment would be 12 vdc. The condenser fan motor located in the back of the unit is showing as being a 120 vac fan motor per tech sheet and the manufacturer and would be part number W10124096.

Hello P.W., If you had to spin the fan for it to start, it is an indication that the fan motor W10124096 has failed. Also, as a note, if the center divider was hot, it indicates that there is an issue with the condenser fan motor or the coils are clogged.

Hello Mark. You could test for ohms, but not for continuity. The best test is a voltage test. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
