Condenser fan motor has seized or failed, preventing airflow over condenser coils and compressor, causing warm temperatures throughout the unit.
Worn motor bearings cause the fan to emit grinding, buzzing, or rattling sounds from behind or beneath the refrigerator.
Motor windings have failed open-circuit or rotor is seized; fan blade does not rotate even when compressor is running.
Without condenser airflow, the compressor runs hot and cycles off on thermal overload, causing intermittent cooling loss.
💡 Pro Tip: How to Diagnose a Faulty Condenser Fan Motor
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Refrigerator or freezer not cooling properly despite compressor running
⚠️ Unusual buzzing, grinding, or rattling noise from the back bottom of the fridge
⚠️ Fan blade visible but not spinning, or spinning intermittently
⚠️ Compressor running hot or cycling off on thermal overload
🔍 Quick Test: Pull the fridge from the wall, remove the rear access panel, and try to spin the fan blade by hand. If it doesn't spin freely or resists rotation, the motor bearings have seized and the assembly needs replacement. Confirm with a multimeter — check for continuity across the motor windings (should not read open circuit).
