David June 09, 2015 for Model Number MSD2651HEW When the compressor kicks on I hear a noise that sounds as though it is emanating from the behind the ice bin. It sounds like a vibrating fan, but I don't know where the cooling fan is, or even how many fans are involved in this appliance.
1 Answer David, The unit has 2 fans in it. One is behind the rear wall in the freezer compartment and the other is located behind the refrigerator next to the compressor. The fan in the freezer sits just below where the auger housing is located at. It could be a fan that is vibrating but also check the condenser to make sure that it is not vibrating. The noise could be a refrigerant line that is vibrating also. Read More...
Cindy March 20, 2014 for Model Number 12002738 Just received this part and it's a modification, why not include instructions! If you have instructions please send them.
1 Answer Hello Cindy. The three metal brackets insert into the slots for the old fan motor and attach on the other end to the new fan motor in the kit 12002738. The rubber pieces are bushings to prevent vibration and noise and insert into the slots the brackets go into. Read More...
Steve March 11, 2014 for Model Number maytag refrigerator msd2651heq How does one get to the three mounting screws that hold on the condenser fan motor. I can not get to them because the condenser is to close to get my hand behind the mounting plate. The plate is not removable and at a bad angle. or it would be so easy. part trying to replace is AP4010251
Greg August 08, 2012 for Model Number arse66zbw How often should the fan down below in the back be running? What would happen if it was not running?

Tracy O. October 14, 2011 for Model Number psd266lhew How hot is the compressor suppose to get? Warm to the touch or too hot to touch?
1 Answer Hi Tracy. The compressor should only get warm to the touch as if you can stand to lay your hand on it for 10-20sec. It should not fry an egg.... Improper air flow is a very common failure if the condenser fan is stopped or not up to speed. Part # 12002738. If the condenser coils are stopped up, then take a shop vac and coil brush part #TJ103 to clear so the freon does not boil. This will overheat a compressor as well. If the back is dirty... Thank You.

Tincanfarm September 14, 2011 for Model Number MFD2560HES This is an upgraded replacement part and I need to know how the metal legs that come with the new part attach to the refrigerator. The picture of the part on your website looks exactly like the part I removed, however, the part I received is totally different and the fan will not fit in the plastic housing. It would be much easier if I could speak with someone on the phone. My number is 301-574-5377 in Maryland.
1 Answer Tincan, You are orienting the fan assembly onto the fan shroud assembly proeprly, it only fits one way and you'd use the same screws and mounting holes on the shroud as the original assembly. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
