This fan motor circulates the air through the refrigerator grille and cools the compressor and condenser coils. It also helps to evaporate extra water in the drain pan.

Wanted to fix the frige before it died
Wanted to fix the frige before it died, so I went online to find a condenser fan motor. These folks were the first ones I checked out. Glad I did. Very helpful finding the model number and the right part. Very fast shipping, went out that day and I had it in 36 hours. Food is saved and my beer is still cold! Very good people to deal with.

The freezer just cool but could not freeze the water and the front of door is quite hot to touch.
First I observe that the compressor motor is running since the freezer is cooling. The purchase of the condenser fan is initiated and when the part arrive it is just easy to reinstall the replacement condenser fan.
The problem on the front of the freezer door remains hot to touch and the compressor runs for a while and stop.
... Read moreThe freezer is cold but still could not freeze the water. Inspection of the condenser fan reveals that it is not running. The order for the condenser fan from PARTSELECT came in a few days. Cleaning of the condenser of lint was first done and the process of removing the defective fan is just easy so with the installation.
The refrigerator as of now is running in perfect condition!

Noisey Compressor Cooling Fan
Wow, end result was amazing. I had to place my ear close to the refrigerator to find out if the fan was working. So quiet. Prior to this we could hear it in the bedroom. I replaced the fan motor, blade, grommets, i.e. the whole fan train. There were two screws holding the fan which were removed. (After removing the back panel.) Then

I screwed up the 1st time...installed the front motor grommet in reverse. Fan blade was not centered. Resulted in a few mins rework. Actually spent more time cleaning all the dust from the compartment and behind the refer than it took to install the new fan system. Did I say that I couldn't be more pleased with the no noise result?
The only part that I should had used was the condensor fan motor,which it was so easy to remove,and instaled the new one,then replaced the missing parts and problem solved.

I know 650 is the condenser fan motor, what is part 617 and do they come with fan motor replacement part. They look like placement washers . Thank you
For model number HTR17BBSARWW
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!

Super thanks for your answer I'm pretty pretty savvy when it comes to refrigerators air conditioners enough it's not making ice fast enough i know when the refrigerator runs and you can hear a fan blowing inside it's loud i don't hear anything eiffel also know there's more than one fan to this one in the bottom of the refrigerator as well not for me with what that one does
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.

Condenser fan runs all the time what do I do
For model number HTS18GBSARWW
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!
I tested everything i could with the skills i have and didn't find anything obvious. I put it all back together and turned it on. It now sounds like the compressor came on when i adjusted the temp control but looking at the back i see the cooling fan at the bottom is not turning and just humming. When i try to turn the blades i get physical resistance. Is this a bad fan?
For model number HTS15BBMFRWW

Refrigerator makes a loud humming noise when the fan needs to go on. The fan does not spin. I think that the condenser motor is bad. I am going to check the voltage going from the motor to the fan. And also vacuum out from underneath the fridge. What do you think?Denise woods
For model number GTS18GBRERWW
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.
Here is a link to our repair section to help you with those issues PS10063450.
https://www.partselect.com/Repair/Refrigerator/Noisy/
We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime if you require further assistance.
The condenser fan motor was replaced with a genuine motor on my fridge. The issue am having now is that the motor runs constantly and never turns off. Could the motor have been installed badly which would the thermostat to malfunction ? .
For model number GTS18FBSARCC
Hello Franklyn, thank you for inquiring. It is possible an improper installation of the part could cause this issue. We do not have installation instructions for this Condenser Fan Motor for your model, but here is a link to a list of videos that may be similar: https://www.youtube.com/user/partselect/search?query=condenser+fan+motor. You may also want to consider either the Temperature Control part PS9493106 or the Defrost Timer part PS310869 as the cause of the issue. We hope this helps.
