Samsung Refrigerator Condenser Fan Motor Assembly Parts — Models & Compatibility

If your Samsung refrigerator isn't cooling properly or you're hearing unusual noises from the back near the compressor, the condenser fan motor assembly is often the culprit. This hub covers the DA97-15765C condenser fan motor assembly — a critical component that keeps your compressor cool and ensures proper refrigerant circulation. It's compatible with over 20 Samsung French door and side-by-side models from the RF series.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

Before ordering, you'll need to verify your exact model number. On most Samsung refrigerators, you'll find the model and serial number plate inside the fridge compartment — usually on the left or right wall, or sometimes on the ceiling near the door hinge. Look for model numbers starting with "RF" followed by numbers and letters (like RF263BEAESR or RF26HFENDSR). Cross-reference your complete model number with the compatibility list below to confirm this DA97-15765C assembly is the correct match.

About This Replacement Part

The condenser fan motor assembly (part number DA97-15765C) replaces older part numbers DA97-15765A, DA97-12842A, DA97-12842B, and DA97-12842D — so if you've got a service manual or previous repair invoice listing any of those numbers, this is your updated replacement. This assembly includes the motor, fan blade, and mounting bracket as one complete unit, which simplifies installation compared to replacing individual components. The condenser fan runs whenever the compressor is active, pulling air across the condenser coils at the back of your refrigerator to dissipate heat. When it fails, your compressor has to work harder, runs hotter, and your food won't stay cold. You might notice the compressor running constantly, warmer-than-normal cabinet temperatures, or complete cooling failure.

What You're Getting

The DA97-15765C is a complete condenser fan motor assembly. You're not buying just the motor or just the blade — it's the entire unit ready to install. That means less troubleshooting about which blade fits which motor shaft, and fewer chances for installation errors. The assembly mounts to the rear panel of your refrigerator near the compressor using the included bracket.

Price and Availability

Current pricing for the DA97-15765C condenser fan motor assembly is $148.99. That's for the complete assembly — not just the motor or fan blade separately. You can check current availability and order directly at heima.com.

Why Choose This Part

Samsung condenser fan motors typically fail after 5-8 years of continuous use. The bearings wear out, the windings short, or the fan blade cracks from heat stress. When you're replacing it, you want an assembly that matches OEM specs — proper CFM rating, correct voltage, and the right blade pitch. This DA97-15765C assembly meets those requirements and comes ready to install. If you've already pulled the rear panel and confirmed your condenser fan isn't spinning (or is making grinding noises), this is the part you need.
