Maytag Refrigerator RCW2010DAE Freezer section too warm

This OEM Replacement Part is a high-quality, 2-watt condenser fan motor for Whirlpool refrigerators.The motor is designed to optimize your refrigerator's cooling performance. This 115-volt motor operates with a clockwise rotation.  

Symptoms of a bad condenser fan motor kit include:

• Gradual rise in interior freezer temperatures
• Inability to maintain consistent cooling performance  
• Loud buzzing or grinding noises coming from inside
• Tripped breakers or failure to restart after service

Causes stem from normal wear of ball bearings as the high-efficiency motor operates continuously. Exposure to dust or debris introduced through openings accelerates wear over many years of use.

This OEM part is also compatible with brands including Kenmore, KitchenAid, and Danby.

The Run Capacitor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is responsible for helping the compressor motor start and run efficiently by providing an extra electrical boost. This component ensures that the refrigerator operates smoothly and maintains the correct temperature by stabilizing the compressor's performance.

Causes of a bad run capacitor can include electrical surges, age-related wear, or overheating. When the capacitor fails, the compressor may struggle to start or run continuously, leading to inefficient cooling or a non-functional refrigerator.

Symptoms of a bad run capacitor include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• The compressor not starting or running intermittently
• Unusual clicking noises from the refrigerator

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

This defrost timer controls the automatic defrost cycle in select refrigerators and freezers, switching between cooling and defrost to clear frost on the evaporator. It helps maintain stable temperatures and prevents heavy ice buildup and long run times. What it does:

• Alternates the system between cooling and defrost on a timed schedule
• Sends power to the defrost heater during defrost, then returns power to the compressor and fans
• Failure can cause heavy frost on the evaporator/back freezer wall
• May lead to warmer temperatures, constant running, short cycling, or no-cool if stuck in defrost

• 1 defrost timer

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access location varies by model
• Note wire positions and transfer them one at a time to the new timer
• Mount securely in the same orientation as the original and verify normal cycling after power is restored

This evaporator fan motor circulates cold air across the evaporator coils and through the freezer and fresh-food sections to maintain even temperatures. Replacing a failed or noisy motor restores proper airflow and dependable cooling performance.

• Drives the evaporator fan blade to move air over the coils and throughout the cabinet
• Helps maintain consistent temperatures between freezer and refrigerator compartments
• Failure symptoms include weak/no airflow, the fan not running, loud squealing/rumbling, or the fresh-food section warming up
• Poor airflow can also lead to frost or ice buildup on the freezer back panel

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection
• Access the motor behind the freezer's rear panel; use caution around sharp metal and evaporator fins
• Note wire positions; transfer the fan blade and any brackets/grommets from the original motor; secure wiring connections
• Ensure the blade spins freely; engage the door switch when testing and strong airflow after reassembly

This 12-inch defrost heater melts frost and ice from the evaporator so your refrigerator can run efficiently and keep food at the proper temperature. It replaces a failed heater to restore normal automatic defrost cycles. What it does:

• Warms the evaporator coils during the defrost cycle to remove frost and ice buildup
• Helps prevent reduced cooling and frost accumulation on the evaporator
• Commonly used when the freezer/back wall has visible ice or when defrost cycles fail
• Works with the fridge's existing defrost control/timer and thermostat to clear ice safely

• One 12-inch defrost heater

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repairs
• Access usually requires removal of the evaporator cover; handle the evaporator and wiring carefully
• Verify correct heater orientation and secure connections; do not force or kink the element
