Samsung Refrigerator Condenser Fan Motor Assembly Parts — Models & Compatibility

Your Samsung fridge is running warm, and you hear it cycling on and off more than usual. If the condenser fan isn't spinning properly, your compressor's working overtime without proper cooling. This hub covers the DA97-15765A condenser fan motor assembly that fits RF-series Samsung refrigerators — one of the most frequently replaced cooling components in these models.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

The DA97-15765A fits over 50 Samsung refrigerator models, primarily in the RF263, RF265, RF261, RF260, RF25H, and RF28H series. Your model number is on a sticker inside the fridge compartment, usually on the left side wall or behind the crisper drawer. It'll look like RF263BEAESG/AA or RF25HMEDBSR/AA — the letter combinations after the main model indicate specific variations, but this part crosses all of them.

About This Replacement Part

This is the complete condenser fan motor assembly that sits beneath your refrigerator, behind the lower front grille. It pulls air across the condenser coils to dissipate heat from the refrigeration system. The DA97-15765A replaces older part numbers DA97-15765C, DA97-12842A, AP6001015, and PS11733650 — Samsung updated the design but maintained backward compatibility. The assembly includes the motor, fan blade, and mounting bracket, so you're not piecing together separate components. When this fan fails, your compressor runs hot, efficiency drops, and you'll notice warmer temperatures in both the fridge and freezer compartments before the system eventually gives out.

Compatible Samsung Refrigerator Models

This condenser fan motor fits the following Samsung models. If your model number matches any of these, you've got the right part:

• RF263BEAESG/AA — French Door
• RF263BEAESP/AA — French Door
• RF263BEAEBC/AA — French Door
• RF263BEAEWW/AA — French Door
• RF265BEAESG/AA — French Door
• RF265BEAESR/AA — French Door
• RF261BEAESG/AA — French Door
• RF260BEAESG/AA — French Door
• RF25HMEDBSR/AA — French Door
• RF25HMEDBSG/AA — French Door
• RF25HMEDBBC/AA — French Door
• RF25HMEDBWW/AA — French Door
• RF28HMEDBWW/AA — French Door

And many more RF-series models. The complete compatibility list includes over 50 model variations across Samsung's French door lineup from the early 2010s through mid-2010s production years.

What You're Getting

The DA97-15765A is sold as a complete assembly — motor, fan blade, and mounting hardware included. You're not buying just the motor and hunting for a compatible blade separately. Samsung engineered this as a sealed unit to maintain proper CFM (cubic feet per minute) airflow across the condenser. The motor runs on 120V AC and typically draws around 0.5 amps under normal operation.

Before You Order

Confirm your model number matches the compatibility list, but also verify the fan isn't spinning due to a failed motor rather than something simpler like debris blocking the blade. Unplug the fridge, pull off the lower front grille, and check if anything's jamming the fan. If the blade spins freely by hand but won't run when powered, the motor's dead. If it's seized up, you might have a bearing failure. Either way, this assembly solves both problems.

Need Help Finding Your Model?

If you're not sure whether this part fits your specific Samsung refrigerator, grab your full model number (including the /AA or other suffix) and cross-reference it with Samsung's parts diagrams. The DA97-15765A superseded several older designs, so even if your fridge originally came with a different part number, this updated assembly will work. It's backward compatible across the entire RF series from that production era.
