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 Overload is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is an important component of the refrigerator's compressor system, providing protection against electrical overload.

The overload helps safeguard the compressor from excessive electrical currents, preventing potential damage and ensuring the longevity of the refrigerator. It acts as a safety measure by interrupting the power supply to the compressor when necessary.

Causes of a faulty overload can include power surges, excessive heat, or electrical component failure. These factors can lead to the overload not properly regulating the electrical flow, resulting in compressor issues or the refrigerator not cooling effectively.

Symptoms of a bad overload may include:

• The refrigerator not cooling or maintaining the desired temperature
• Unusual noises coming from the compressor
• The compressor not running at all

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

This start relay (EMB) energizes the compressor's start winding so the refrigerator can begin cooling reliably. Replacing a weak relay can resolve hard-start clicking and restore consistent operation when the compressor struggles to start.

• Delivers initial power to the compressor's start winding, then disengages once the motor is up to speed
• Supports reliable compressor starts and reduces repeated start attempts
• Common symptoms: clicking from the compressor area, rising refrigerator/freezer temperatures, compressor starts then stops after a few seconds, or heat damage on the old relay
• Works with EMB-style compressor connections used on select units

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Remove the rear access cover; note wire positions; pull the old relay straight off the compressor terminals
• Seat the new relay fully on the compressor pins; reconnect the harness and any run capacitor lead exactly as removed
• Reinstall the cover and restore power; use caution—capacitors may retain a charge
