This is a fan blade and it is made for an air conditioner unit, it may also be known as a room condenser fan. The blade is black and has a roughly 13-inch outer diameter. The function of this piece is to blow air over the condenser, which will cool the refrigerant and eventually cool the area. The tools you will need to make this repair i...Read morenclude a pair of pliers, a screwdriver set, and a socket set. Before making this repair, make sure to unplug your air conditioning unit.
If your air conditioner is making an unusual noise, the problem could be with the blower wheel, or its fans. The motorized fan in an air conditioner pulls air through the filter and over the cold evaporator coils and then re-circulates the cooled air back into the room. There is also a second fan on the motor shaft that cools the condense...Read morer coils at the back. An unusual noise is usually due to the fans striking the inside of the air conditioner. Check your blower wheel, and the fan blades for physical damage, dust, and signs that they have been hitting something during the cooling process. If the wheel is damaged and the unit is not working properly because of it, replace the part right away. Remember, the power should be disconnected from the air conditioner before you perform this repair.

My A/C unit quit working on the hottest day of the year! I had this A/C unit for 13 years and I just knew I'd never find a fan blade for the same make and model, so I tried to go purchase a new one but couldn't find one big enough since it was so late in the season.

After receiving the fan blade, I popped off the old one and put on the new one! The A/C unit worked like new once again!! It even blew colder air than before! The hardest part about the entire process was getting the13 year old fan blade off! I'd recommend your website to anyone looking for a part! Thank you for all your help!!

2001 Window AC/Heat Unit. I ran across your web site and ordered the fan $70.00, telling myself that if we could fix it we saved $650.00. A new - window air conditioner is over $700.00 for heat and air. Believe it or not the two of us oldies put it up on the desk on CARDBOARD so we wouldn't scratch the desk (my husband wo
... Read moreuldn't have thought of that - that's why God made man -a woman). I vacuumed everything I could see to clean which made it more bearable to breathe. Then we had to decide how to get the old fan off and the new one on. They don't make these things to repair. We actually took out more screws than we needed to but that's ok. There are 3 legs in there that needed to be unscrewed so we could pull out the heating coils enough to replace the fan. One of the 3 legs was difficult to maneuver because of the tight space so my husband and his brawn decided to cut a hole in the medal on the right side. He did it a little unconventionally but it still solved the problem of the 3rd screw without affecting anything else. We both had to pull on the heating coil to slip it up out of the bottom pan without breaking anything else but we managed. We got the old fan blade off and the new one on. Two heads are always better than one. We did it and it works with a savings of $650.00. Your website saved us a heap of money. We have already started telling others about it.
