This fan motor is most times used with frost-free refrigerators with a condenser coil. When the compressor runs, so does this fan, circulating air through the refrigerator grille, cooling the compressor and condenser coils. This fan motor also helps to evaporate excess water in the drain pan.

Great part, took patience to install
I was really happy with the part and speed of delivery. The install was a little tedious and required more tools than the video. I had to disassemble/reassemble the components while everything was still under the fridge. The placement of the copper lines prevented the easy method shown in the video. It worked though and saved my a ton of money!

Easy part to find, thanks to part select and the repair was easy too. Saved hundreds by just doing it myself but then again this is what I do.
Part came very fast and the price was right. Glad i didn't wait until it stopped working all together. Once it started making noise was a good time to change it.

Simple Repair
Professional organization, professional part. Hearing the clicking, we rolled out the frig, took off the back and in two minutes saw the obvious. Ordering the part, simple, just followed the Part Select Guide and the accompanying video. The part arrived in three days. My wife and I followed the video and replaced the part in fifteen minutes. Really simple and sort of satisfying.
A power drill and 1/4 socket is all you need.
Frig is working just fine.

My fridge kept making a high pitched noise towards the bottom back. The food had also started thawing out.
I followed the instructions provided on the video emailed to me. I had some trouble only because my refrigerator was slightly different and it was hard to get the old condenser fan motor out. Other than that I was super pleased to have found Partselect.com. There is no way I would have been able to tackle such a major job without their

Condenser fan was having trouble starting
Attempted it on my own with the aid of the video on your site, but could not remove the fan shroud due to additional copper lines that prevented me from getting it out. Gave up and called an appliance repair guy. He had a novel approach: Don't pull the fan shroud (with motor attached) out, but instead remove one of the screws holding
... Read more the motor into the bracket, then bend the bracket to get the motor out. All good until we powered the fridge on again. Now the fan works, but spins faster (and makes more noise than) the original fan. The repair guy's comment: "I've seen that before with some of the aftermarket fans." Nice! I'd appreciate getting the right part when I order the part from your website based on my fridge model number.

My Hotpoint is making a screeching noise like a eirrie scrapping on and off when it begins running. What would cause this
For model number HTS22GBPBRWW
Hi Deborah, Thank you for the question. It would depend on the area of the appliance the noise is coming from. If it is coming from the back of the freezer it would be the Evaporator Fan Motor, PartSelect Number PS1766252. If it is coming from the bottom of the appliance, it would be the Condenser Fan Motor, PartSelect Number PS1766247. I suggest listening for the noise to see what section it is coming from. You can also try cleaning and checking the fan blades on the motors to ensure they are operating properly as well. Hope this helps!

In between doors and left outside freezer gets hot. Changed condenser fan, cleaned out all dirt inside and out side condenser. Still hot after i plugged it for 8 hrs. What is the next step, evaporator fan or temp sensors in the freezer part? Thanks in advance.
For model number HSM25GFTISA
Hello Fernando and thanks for writing.
You should check the following components:
Temperature sensor #PS304103 and after that the electronic board # PS12069099. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime.
Should the condenser cooling fan stay on all the time? My unit will run really cold for a while, well below what I set it at. Then it will start getting warmer and warmer to where it’s not functioning right. I’ve checked three of the thermistors, the condenser fan and the other fan and all our operational. The evaporator fan is new and came with a thermistor.
For model number Dss25ksrdSS
Hello Charlie, Thank you for the question. The Condenser Fan will run while the Compressor is running to keep it cool and air flow over the coils. We suggest testing the Temperature Sensor. If the Sensor is good, you may have to replace the Interface Control Board, PartSelect Number PS966899. We hope this helps!
I see 2 different Condenser Motors. One is AC DC and one looks to be just DC. Which one do I need for my model number?
For model number gth18ebt2rww
Hello Susan, thank you for writing. There are two different motors in all models. The Condenser Motor PS11701278 is located down where the compressor is located. The Evaporator Motor PS12741350 is located at the top of the freezer. We look forward to hearing from you.

The fan is frooze up the unit will not start is there a safety system in place to prevent the unit from starting if the fan dose not work.Or should i look for more problems? Thank you
For model number HSM25GFRFSA
Hello Richard, Thank you for your inquiry. No the fridge should keep working if the condenser fan is frozen. However, if it is not working, it can lead to other issues. If your fridge will not start, we would recommend checking the following parts to fix your issue: run capacitor, start relay/overload, defrost thermostat, defrost heater, temperature sensor, evaporator fan motor and the electronic control board. You can test the parts with a multimeter. If you are unfamiliar with how a multimeter functions, there are YouTube videos available to assist you. Hope this helps!

Installed a new water inlet valve today. No water from dispenser. No ice cubes. Water flow good.
For model number GLR25UGTA
Hi Ray, thank you for contacting us. If there is no water or ice coming out of the dispenser even when the water flow is good, the most probable cause of this issue is a faulty dispenser door solenoid assembly, part number PS1483583, which may need to be replaced. Let us know if you have further questions!
