This genuine DC condenser fan motor helps cool the refrigerator's condenser coils and compressor by circulating air through the cooling system, promoting efficient operation and proper temperature control. Designed for reliable, energy-efficient performance, it helps prevent overheating and supports consistent cooling throughout the refrigerator. Replacing a worn or failed fan motor can help resolve issues such as poor cooling performance, excessive compressor heat, unusual humming or squealing noises, or a refrigerator that struggles to maintain proper temperatures. Installation typically involves disconnecting power to the refrigerator, removing the rear access panel, disconnecting the fan motor wiring harness, transferring the fan blade if required, installing the replacement motor, and reassembling the unit before testing operation. The motor operates at approximately 11.3–12 volts DC, is rated at 2.2 watts, and features a 4-pin electrical connector for secure installation.

Warm freezer and no ice
This story starts with a GE side-by-side refrigerator that has always had wide temperature swings and a temperamental water dispenser. The ice maker was not making ice, and the built in digital thermometer showed it was running warm. I suspected that the heat exchanger was full of dust and so looked there. What I found was that the con

denser tank was hot to the touch and the fan wasn’t running. As an experiment, I aimed a fan at the it for a while I saw that the freezer temperature dropped back to normal.
.The fan is marked as 11.2 DC so I checked for voltage at the fan and found some. With three wires and no wiring diagram I wasn’t sure this answered all the questions, but hooking the fan to a 12 volt power supply didn’t get it to spin.
I priced parts at a couple websites before using partselect.com . They also have a good diagram to look at (Sears diagrams are really poor). I ordered the part with 2-day shipping; it arrived on time, was correct and fixed the problem.
