The Condenser Fan Motor is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is designed to circulate air through the condenser coils, helping to dissipate heat and keep the refrigerator's internal components cool. This ensures efficient operation and prevents the compressor from overheating, which is essential for maintaining the refrigerator's performance and longevity.

You should replace the condenser fan motor if it becomes faulty. Causes of a bad fan motor can include electrical failures, wear and tear from regular use, or blockages that cause the motor to overheat or burn out. A malfunctioning fan motor can lead to inadequate cooling, increased energy consumption, and potential damage to other refrigerator components.

Symptoms of a bad condenser fan motor include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• Unusual noises coming from the back of the refrigerator
• The compressor running hot or cycling on and off frequently
• The condenser coils feeling excessively hot

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

A replacement motor start/run capacitor that helps restore reliable motor starting and smooth operation for compressors and fans. Installing the correct capacitor can reduce hard-starts, humming and intermittent motor operation. What it does:

• Provides the temporary boost motors need to start and stabilize while running.
• Helps compressors and fan motors start more easily and run more efficiently.
• Commonly associated with symptoms like humming, motors that won't start, intermittent operation, or reduced cooling performance.
• Prevents repeated motor stress that can lead to overload trips or premature motor wear.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing electrical components.
• Discharge the capacitor and tag/photograph wire locations before removal to ensure correct reinstallation.
• Replace with the exact OEM part or an approved equivalent; do not bend or puncture the capacitor can.

• Restores factory attachment where a screw is missing or stripped
• Helps maintain proper alignment of housing and service access
• Suitable when repair requires original-fit fasteners

• Disconnect power or unplug the appliance before servicing to avoid shock
• Use the matching screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Thread carefully and avoid overtightening to prevent damage to threads or plastic parts
