The condenser fan motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It plays a vital role in circulating refrigerant through the condenser coils, facilitating heat exchange and maintaining the refrigerator's cooling efficiency.

Over time, the motor-condenser can wear out or fail due to electrical issues, mechanical wear, or blockages in the condenser system. A malfunctioning motor can compromise the refrigerator's cooling performance, leading to temperature fluctuations and increased energy consumption.

Symptoms of a bad Motor-Condenser include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• Unusual noises coming from the back of the refrigerator
• The compressor running continuously
• Increased energy bills due to inefficient operation
• Overheating of the refrigerator

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Evaporator Fan Motor Blade is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is a crucial component of the refrigerator's cooling system, attached to the evaporator fan motor to circulate air over the evaporator coils. This circulation helps distribute cold air throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments, ensuring consistent temperatures and efficient operation.

Symptoms of a bad Evaporator Fan Motor Blade include:

• Unusual noise coming from the fan area, indicating the blade may be hitting another component or is unbalanced,
• Insufficient cooling in the refrigerator or freezer compartments,
• The refrigerator running longer than usual to maintain the desired temperature.

Causes of evaporator fan motor blade failure typically include physical damage from interference with other components, wear from continuous use, or buildup of ice or debris that unbalances the blade.

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Evaporator Fan Motor Grommet is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is designed to provide a secure and vibration-free mounting for the evaporator fan motor, ensuring proper operation and reducing noise.

Causes of a faulty evaporator fan motor grommet can include wear and tear over time, damage from excessive vibrations or impact, or deterioration due to temperature changes.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator fan motor grommet may include:

• Excessive noise or rattling coming from the refrigerator
• Poor cooling performance or uneven temperatures inside the refrigerator
• Fan motor instability or misalignment

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The Door Cam is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It functions as a critical component in the door closing mechanism, facilitating the smooth opening and closing of the refrigerator door. The door cam helps to lift and lower the door slightly as it opens and closes, reducing stress on the hinges and ensuring a tight seal.

Causes of a bad Door Cam can include wear from regular use, cracking due to excessive force when opening or closing the door, or misalignment that prevents the door from functioning properly.

Symptoms of a bad Door Cam include:

• The refrigerator door making noise when opened or closed
• Difficulty in shutting the door completely
• Increased energy consumption as the fridge works harder to maintain its internal temperature due to a poor seal

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Door Closer Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This kit contains essential components for smooth refrigerator door closing: door cams and screws ensure gentle closure, proper seal, and prevent cool air leakage.

Parts in a door closer kit can wear out over time from frequent use, causing issues like improper closing, the need for extra force to shut, or failed sealing, affecting the refrigerator's cooling.

Symptoms of a bad Door Closer Kit include:

• The refrigerator door feels loose or wobbles when opened or closed
• The door does not close fully on its own or requires extra force to close
• You notice an increase in the refrigerator’s energy consumption due to cool air leaking
• Condensation or frost buildup near the door seal area due to improper sealing

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

The Evaporator Fan Motor is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. Located inside the refrigerator compartment, it powers the evaporator fan, which circulates air across the cooling coils. This is the motor only. For the blade order part number WP2169142.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator fan motor include:

• No air movement detected coming from vents inside the refrigerator
• Warmer internal temperatures due to inadequate air circulation
• Strange grinding or knocking noises emanating from the rear wall

Causes of failure can be normal wear over time, accumulation of dust obstructing fan blades, or damage to motor windings from moisture penetration.

This OEM part is also compatible with KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Admiral, and Kenmore refrigerator models.
