Whirlpool Refrigerator Condenser Fan Motor Parts — Models & Compatibility

Your Whirlpool fridge is running warm and making grinding noises from the back? That's your condenser fan motor giving up. This W11613295 replacement fits dozens of Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, and Amana refrigerators — and it's the exact part that keeps your compressor from overheating. If your fridge is too warm or you're hearing unusual noise near the compressor area, you're likely dealing with a failed condenser fan.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

The W11613295 condenser fan motor works across multiple refrigerator series. To verify compatibility, locate your model number — it's usually on a sticker inside the fridge compartment along the side wall or on the ceiling. Cross-reference it with our compatibility list below. This part replaces W11387394, WPW10239053, W10239053, and W10609117, so if you've seen any of those numbers, you're in the right place.

About This Replacement Part

The condenser fan motor sits near your compressor at the bottom back of the refrigerator. Its job is simple but critical: pull air across the condenser coils to dissipate heat. When it fails, you'll notice the fridge struggling to maintain temperature — both compartments run warmer than they should. The most common symptom is a warm fridge paired with unusual noise, though sometimes the motor just stops entirely without warning. The fan blade should spin freely when you turn it by hand with the fridge unplugged. If it's stuck, wobbly, or the motor housing feels hot to the touch, replacement is your only option.

What You Need to Know Before Ordering

This motor ships with mounting hardware but not the fan blade — most replacements reuse your existing blade unless it's cracked or damaged. Check the blade while you're back there. If it's bent or the edges are chipped, order a replacement blade separately. The W11613295 is a direct OEM-equivalent replacement, which means it'll mount exactly like your original without modifications.

Common Failure Pattern

Condenser fan motors typically fail between years 5-8 of ownership. You might hear grinding or squealing for a few weeks before it stops completely, or it might just quit without warning. Either way, once the fan stops, your compressor starts running constantly trying to compensate — which drives up your electric bill and puts unnecessary stress on the compressor itself. Replace the fan motor as soon as you notice symptoms to avoid a much more expensive compressor replacement down the road.
