The Condenser Fan Motor is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This motor is vital for the efficient operation of the refrigerator, as it powers the fan that cools the condenser coils and helps to circulate air. Without a properly functioning condenser fan motor, the refrigerator can overheat, leading to poor cooling performance and increased energy consumption.
Symptoms of a failing Condenser Fan Motor include:
- The refrigerator making unusual noises such as humming or buzzing
- The back of the refrigerator feeling hotter than usual
- The refrigerator cycling on and off more frequently
- Food not being kept at the proper temperature
Common causes for a bad condenser fan motor include dust and debris buildup obstructing the motor, age-related wear, and electrical failures such as short circuits or burnt-out capacitors. Regular cleaning and maintenance can help prolong the life of the motor, but if these symptoms occur, a replacement may be necessary.
This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
Note: This is a 115-volt AC fan motor. For the 12-volt DC fan motor, order part number WR60X10209. Right-hand thread. The compatible fan blade is part number WR60X10207.
