The Condenser Fan Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This motor is responsible for powering the fan that cools the condenser coils, which helps dissipate heat from the refrigerator. Proper functioning of the condenser fan motor is crucial for maintaining the efficiency and cooling performance of the refrigerator.
Causes of a bad condenser fan motor can include wear and tear from regular use, dust and debris buildup, or electrical failures. A faulty fan motor can lead to overheating of the condenser coils, which can cause the refrigerator to operate inefficiently or stop cooling altogether.
Symptoms of a bad Condenser Fan Motor include:
- The refrigerator running warmer than usual
- The condenser coils being hot to the touch
- The fan not spinning or making unusual noises
- Increased energy consumption
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
Note: Due to a manufacturing change, if your original fan motor has a 3-terminal connector, order fan motor W10124096 which includes an adapter harness to convert to the new 4-terminal connector.
