The Condenser Fan Motor is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It serves a critical role in the refrigerator's cooling system by driving the condenser fan, which cools the refrigerant as it passes through the condenser coils. This cooling process is essential for the refrigerant's efficient circulation throughout the system, ensuring that the refrigerator maintains the proper temperature for preserving food.
Causes of failure can include dust and debris accumulation blocking the fan, electrical issues such as worn or shorted wiring, or the motor wearing out over time due to continuous use.
Symptoms of a bad Condenser Fan Motor include:
- The refrigerator runs warmer than usual, leading to spoiled food.
- Unusual noises coming from the back of the refrigerator where the motor is located.
- The fan stops running, causing the refrigerator's compressor to overheat and cycle off too frequently.
This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

It was a pretty easy fix not as easy as the 1 nut models they show on YouTube it had 3 tiny ones that my big hands had a bit of trouble with. It said 15 minutes it took me about a half an hour. I called a service company just to see what they would charge. $90.00 to say hello 1 hour minimal labor $110.00 and $120.00 for the part. It cost me $90.00 and 30 minutes of my time.
