Condenser Fan Motor

Hi Lynda, Thank you for your question. Item number 617 are the Fan Grommets that fit on the shaft for the fan blades, it sits between the motor and mounting bracket and also on the metal mounting post on the back of the motor between the motor and rear mounting bracket.They help prevent vibration from the motor against the metal brackets. They are sold separately from the motor so if they are needed for your repair make sure you add two grommets to the cart as they are also sold individually. I hope this helps!

Hi Mark, Thank you for your follow up. The fan at the bottom is the condenser fan motor. It actually helps keep your condenser coils cool while the refrigerator is going through its cooling cycle. Then you have the fan motor in the back of your freezer area, which is the evaporator fan motor. That part helps push the cold air into your freezer and then into your refrigerator area. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Hello Arley, Thank you for the question. A common reason a condenser fan is continually running within a refrigerator is the thermostat, PartSelect Number PS1155320. This sensor takes readings from the refrigerator (and freezer if you have one) and flips the cooling system on when it sees the temperature isn't where it needs to be. You can test the thermostat with a multi meter as well. The best way to do this is to remove the thermostat from the refrigerator so you can control the temperature of the sensor. You can let the sensor warm up to room temperature. With the sensor warmed up to room temperature the sensor should read approximately 6.2K Ohms at 68°F. With the thermistor submerged is a glass full of ice water, the sensor should be very close to 32°F which should read approximately 16.3K Ohms. If the values that you are getting are far off from these readings, then the sensor is bad and should be replaced. Hope this helps, good luck with this repair!

Hello Denise and thank you for writing. Cleaning the coils and the compressor area is always a good idea as dust likes to collect there. The noise could be indicating a faulty condenser motor PS967022 and/or a faulty evaporator motor.
