Description: The Evaporator Fan Motor is a Genuine OEM part for specific Whirlpool, Maytag refrigerator models. It is responsible for circulating cold air within the fridge and freezer compartments, helping to maintain even temperatures and keep food fresh. Causes of a bad evaporator fan motor include failure due to normal wear and tear over time, damage due to improper cleaning, or issues with the motor's electronic components.
XPARTCO XPDC45X5-450R Dual Run Capacitor (45/5 MFD, 450V, Round)
The XPARTCO XPDC45X5-450R is a universal dual run capacitor for central air conditioners, heat pumps, and condensing units. A run capacitor works alongside a single-phase AC motor to keep it running efficiently once it's started, boosting torque and correcting the phase of the current feeding the motor's windings. This is a dual capacitor, meaning it combines two separate capacitors — one for the compressor, one for the condenser fan motor — into a single three-terminal can, which is why nearly every residential outdoor AC unit uses exactly this style of component to run both motors from one part.
Rated 45 MFD for the compressor circuit and 5 MFD for the fan motor circuit, at 450VAC, in a round aluminum can housing. Because a capacitor's voltage rating is a ceiling rather than a fixed match, this 450V-rated capacitor can safely replace an original capacitor rated 370V or 440V — going higher on voltage is always safe, going lower is not. Over time, the dielectric material inside a run capacitor breaks down from heat cycling and electrical stress, causing it to lose capacitance or fail outright. A failing dual capacitor produces a very recognizable set of symptoms: the outdoor unit hums but the compressor or fan won't start, the fan spins slowly or needs a manual push to get going, the system trips the breaker, or the capacitor can itself is visibly bulging, domed, or leaking oily residue at the top.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO XPDC45X5-450R Dual Run Capacitor fixes central air conditioners and heat pumps where the outdoor unit hums but won't start, the compressor or fan motor won't run, the fan spins slowly or needs a manual push, the breaker trips, or the capacitor can is visibly bulged or leaking. 45 MFD (compressor) + 5 MFD (fan) dual capacitor, 450VAC, round, 3-terminal. Universal fit for equipment originally speced at 370V or 440V, since a higher voltage rating is always a safe upgrade. Capacitors store a dangerous electrical charge even after power is disconnected — always discharge before handling.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Outdoor AC unit hums but the compressor won't start
Condenser fan won't spin, or spins slowly and needs a manual push to get going
System trips the breaker shortly after starting
AC blows warm air because the compressor isn't running
Repeated clicking sound from the contactor as it tries and fails to start the motor
Capacitor can visibly bulging, domed on top, or leaking oily residue
System that used to start slowly and has now stopped starting altogether
Burning smell from the outdoor unit's electrical compartment

XPDC45X5-450R
This is a universal component rather than a single-manufacturer part, so the specific OEM number your HVAC system's label references will vary by brand (Goodman, Trane, Carrier, Rheem, York, Lennox, Amana, and others). This capacitor is a correct replacement for any dual run capacitor matching the 45 MFD / 5 MFD rating with a voltage rating of 450V or lower. If you have your original part number, contact our support team and we will verify compatibility before you order.
Compatibility
This dual run capacitor is a universal replacement compatible with central air conditioners, heat pumps, and condensing units across all major HVAC brands, wherever the original capacitor is rated:
45 MFD (compressor) + 5 MFD (fan motor)
370V, 440V, or 450V (this capacitor's 450V rating exceeds and safely replaces either lower rating)
Round can shape with 3 terminals
Note: The MFD (microfarad) rating must match your original capacitor exactly on both sides — do not substitute a different MFD value for either the compressor or fan side. Voltage rating, on the other hand, can be equal to or higher than the original (450V safely replaces 370V or 440V), but never lower. Can shape (round vs. oval) affects only physical fit inside your unit's electrical compartment, not performance. If you're unsure of your original capacitor's specifications, they're printed directly on its can — contact our support team if you'd like help confirming compatibility.
Key Features

Installation Notes
⚠️ Danger — Capacitors Store A Dangerous Electrical Charge Shut off power to the outdoor unit at the disconnect box and at the breaker before beginning. A capacitor stores an electrical charge even after power has been disconnected, and that charge can deliver a serious or fatal shock. Before touching any terminal, discharge the capacitor by shorting each pair of terminals together (C-to-Fan, C-to-Herm, and Fan-to-Herm) using an insulated-handle screwdriver, or by using a proper capacitor discharge tool with a resistor. Never short the terminals with a bare metal tool held with your bare hand. If you are not fully comfortable performing a capacitor discharge safely, have a qualified HVAC technician replace this part instead.
⚠️ Photograph The Wiring Before Disconnecting — Match Terminals Exactly Wear work gloves and safety glasses. After confirming the capacitor is fully discharged, photograph the wiring on the old capacitor's terminals before disconnecting anything — dual capacitors are labeled C (Common), Herm or Comp (compressor/hermetic), and Fan, and getting a wire on the wrong terminal can damage the new capacitor or the motor it feeds. Note which terminal each wire came from, or label them individually with tape. Remove the mounting strap or bracket holding the old capacitor in its housing, and disconnect each wire from its terminal. Install the new XPDC45X5-450R in the same mounting position, secure it with the strap or bracket, and reconnect each wire to the matching terminal (C, Herm, and Fan) exactly as labeled. Double-check every connection before restoring power. Restore power at the breaker and disconnect box, and confirm the compressor and fan both start promptly and run smoothly. Tools needed: insulated-handle screwdriver or capacitor discharge tool, nut driver, work gloves, safety glasses.
Frequently Asked Questions
My AC unit hums but won't start. Is this the capacitor?
It's one of the most common causes of exactly that symptom. A run capacitor gives the compressor or fan motor the extra push needed to start turning; without it, the motor can draw power and hum in place without ever actually starting to spin. If you can see the capacitor can and it looks bulged, domed on top, or is leaking a brown oily residue, that's strong visual confirmation of failure.
Can I use a 450V capacitor to replace my old 370V or 440V one?
Yes. Voltage rating is a ceiling, not an exact match requirement — a capacitor rated for a higher voltage than your original will work safely and often lasts longer under the same electrical stress. What you cannot do is go the other direction: never install a capacitor with a lower voltage rating than your original, since that risks premature failure or the capacitor breaking down under normal operating conditions.
Does the round vs. oval shape matter?
Only for physical fit inside your unit's electrical compartment — it has no effect on electrical performance. If your unit's mounting bracket or available space is sized for a round can, use a round capacitor; if it's sized for an oval can, use an oval one. The MFD and voltage ratings are what matter electrically, not the shape.
The fan spins if I give it a push, but won't start on its own. What does that mean?
This is a classic sign of a weak or failing capacitor — it may still have enough charge to keep the motor running once it's already spinning, but not enough to provide the initial starting torque. This is a strong signal to replace the capacitor before it fails completely and leaves you with no cooling at all.
Is this a genuine OEM part?
This is a universal replacement part rather than a brand-specific OEM part. Because dual run capacitors are a standardized component defined by their electrical specifications rather than their manufacturer, this capacitor is a correct replacement for any unit's original capacitor that shares the same 45/5 MFD, 450VAC, round dual run capacitor rating — regardless of which HVAC brand originally installed it.

XPARTCO 2315549 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor Replaces WP2315549
The XPARTCO 2315549 is an aftermarket replacement evaporator fan motor for Whirlpool-built side-by-side refrigerators, located in the freezer section. This small motor pulls cold air off the evaporator coil and pushes it through the duct system to both the freezer and fresh food compartments. Without it circulating air, the coil itself keeps getting cold, but that cold air never reaches your food — the freezer, being closest to the coil, may hold up reasonably well for a while, but the fresh food compartment depends entirely on ducted airflow and drifts warmer and warmer as circulation weakens or stops.
This motor ships complete with its wiring harness, so nothing needs to be spliced or transferred from the old unit. Common failure modes include worn motor bearings that let the blade wobble or bind, ice buildup on the coil that jams the blade, and electrical failure of the motor windings. A simple way to check before ordering: with the refrigerator unplugged, try turning the fan blade by hand — it should spin freely with no grinding or resistance. It directly replaces WP2315549, 2220569, 1193008, AP6007250, PS11740362, and EAP11740362.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 2315549 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor fixes Whirlpool-built side-by-side refrigerators with uneven cooling between compartments, frost buildup on the evaporator coil, unusual humming or buzzing noise, or a fresh food section that runs warmer than the freezer. Includes wiring harness. Replaces WP2315549, 2220569, 1193008, AP6007250, PS11740362, EAP11740362. Double-check the part number carefully — this is a different motor from our similarly numbered 2315539 listing, and the two are easy to mix up.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Fresh food compartment running warmer than the freezer, or warmer than it used to
Uneven temperatures between shelves or between the fresh food and freezer sides
Frost or ice buildup accumulating on or around the evaporator coil
Unusual humming, buzzing, or grinding noise coming from inside the freezer
Noise that stops when the freezer door is opened and starts again once it's closed
Refrigerator running constantly as the compressor tries to compensate for poor circulation
Fan blade that doesn't spin freely, or spins with noticeable resistance, when checked by hand
Fridge section too warm or too cold, freezer section too warm or too cold

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Let The Freezer Thaw If Iced Over Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning, and move all food from the freezer to a cooler for the duration of the repair. Wear work gloves. Access is through the freezer's rear interior panel: remove the shelving and bins as needed, then remove the screws securing the back panel and set it aside to expose the evaporator coil and fan assembly. If you see significant frost or ice buildup around the fan or coil, let the unit sit unplugged with the door open for a few hours, or run a manual defrost, before continuing — ice can be masking the actual failure and can make the old motor difficult to remove cleanly. Photograph the wiring harness connector and the fan blade's orientation before disconnecting anything. Unplug the motor's wiring harness connector, remove the mounting screws or clips holding the motor bracket in place, and carefully pull the motor and fan blade assembly free — on many models the blade is a separate piece that pulls off the motor shaft. Transfer the fan blade to the new motor if a blade isn't included, matching the original orientation. Mount the new 2315549 in the same position, reconnect the wiring harness connector fully, and confirm the blade spins freely by hand without contacting the housing before reassembling the back panel. Restore power and monitor both compartments over the next 24 hours to confirm even cooling has returned. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from your 2315539 listing? The numbers look almost identical.
They are genuinely different motors that happen to have nearly identical part numbers — 2315549 versus 2315539, just one transposed digit. This 2315549 motor carries production number ESF-U2A and replaces WP2315549, 2220569, and 1193008. Our separate 2315539 listing carries production number ESF-U2B and replaces a different set of numbers (2219689, 2225625, W10438708) for a different group of models. Because the numbers are so easy to mix up, we'd strongly recommend double-checking the exact number on your old motor, or your full refrigerator model number, before ordering either one.
My freezer seems fine but the fresh food section is warm. Is this the fan motor?
Yes, this is a very common and telling symptom pattern. The freezer compartment sits right next to the evaporator coil and can stay reasonably cold through simple proximity even with poor air circulation, but the fresh food compartment depends entirely on the fan pushing cold air through the ducting to reach it. When the fan motor fails or slows down, the fresh food side is usually the first and most noticeably affected area.
How can I test the motor before ordering a replacement?
With the refrigerator unplugged and the rear freezer panel removed, try turning the fan blade by hand. It should spin freely and smoothly with no grinding, binding, or resistance. If it doesn't turn freely, or doesn't turn at all, the motor has very likely failed. Also listen for humming or buzzing while the refrigerator is running — a motor trying and failing to turn often makes noise without actually moving air.
There's a lot of frost around the fan and coil. Should I address that first?
It's worth understanding which came first. Excess frost can be a cause of fan failure — a jammed, ice-bound blade can burn out the motor over time — or a result of it, since poor air circulation lets moisture condense and freeze unevenly around the coil area. Either way, thawing the ice out fully before installing the new motor makes the repair easier and lets you confirm the blade spins freely once everything is defrosted.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the mounting, wiring harness configuration, and airflow performance of the original WP2315549 evaporator fan motor used in compatible Whirlpool-built side-by-side refrigerators.

WR60X10185 Genuine OEM GE Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
The WR60X10185 is a genuine GE OEM evaporator fan motor located in the freezer compartment, for GE, Hotpoint, and select Kenmore, Haier, Monogram, and Café refrigerators. This motor pulls air across the evaporator coils to strip heat from it, then circulates that cold air through the freezer and, via ducting, to the fresh food compartment. This particular motor does not include a thermistor — it ships as a fan motor with a 4-wire harness on a 6-pin connector, with two of those six pin slots left empty. If your refrigerator's original connector has a white thermistor wire in it, or a separate connector for a freezer light, this is not the correct motor for your unit.
Rated 9.75V DC, 3.25W. A fan motor generally has a long service life, but it can burn out quickly if debris or ice buildup obstructs the blade and forces the motor to work against resistance it wasn't designed for. Common symptoms of a failing motor include unusual noise from the freezer, a fresh food compartment that's warmer than it should be while the freezer stays reasonably cold, frost or ice accumulating around the fan or coil, and a refrigerator that runs constantly trying to compensate for lost circulation. It directly replaces AP3875639, 1170107, 197D2039P007, 197D2039P008, PS1019114, EAP1019114, WR23X10346, WR23X10350, WR23X10353, WR23X10355, WR23X10364, WR23X10404, WR23X10405, WR23X10406, WR60X10043, WR60X10059, WR60X10068, WR60X10083, WR60X10084, WR60X10099, WR60X10149, WR60X10152, WR60X10154, and WR60X10157.

Compatibility
This evaporator fan motor is compatible with select GE and Hotpoint refrigerators, and also fits select Kenmore, Haier, Monogram, and Café refrigerators built on the GE platform.
Note — check your connector before ordering: GE uses several different evaporator fan motor variants that look nearly identical, and choosing the wrong one means the connector or function won't match your refrigerator. This WR60X10185 motor has no thermistor and a plain 4-wire harness with 2 empty slots on its 6-pin connector. If your old motor's connector has a white thermistor wire in it, you need WR60X10074 instead (harness with integrated thermistor). If your old connector instead has a dedicated light connector, you need WR23X10467. This part is also a separate motor from our WR60X10318 listing, which is a side-by-side platform assembly with its own integrated thermistor and a longer harness. Always verify your full model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure which motor fits your refrigerator.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Check Your Connector Type First Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning, and move perishable food to a cooler for the duration of the repair. Wear work gloves. Before removing the old motor, look closely at its connector: confirm it's a plain 4-wire harness with no thermistor wire and no separate light connector, matching this replacement. Access is through the freezer's rear interior panel: remove shelving and bins as needed, then remove the screws securing the back panel to expose the evaporator coil and fan assembly. If there's significant frost or ice around the fan or coil, let the unit sit unplugged with the door open for a few hours, or run a manual defrost, before continuing. Photograph the wiring harness connector and the fan blade's orientation before disconnecting anything. Unplug the motor's wiring harness connector, remove the mounting screws or clips holding the motor bracket in place, and pull the motor and fan blade assembly free. Transfer the fan blade to the new motor if a blade isn't included, matching the original orientation. Mount the new WR60X10185 in the same position, reconnect the wiring harness connector fully, and confirm the blade spins freely by hand without contacting the housing before reassembling the back panel. Restore power and monitor both compartments over the next 24 hours to confirm even, consistent cooling has returned. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need this motor or the one with the thermistor?
Look directly at your old motor's electrical connector before ordering. This WR60X10185 motor has a plain 4-wire harness on a 6-pin plug, with two of the six pin positions left empty — there's no thermistor wire involved. If your connector instead has a white thermistor wire running into it, you'll need WR60X10074, which includes an integrated thermistor and is not interchangeable with this motor. If your connector has a separate plug specifically for a freezer light, you'll need WR23X10467 instead.
My fresh food section is warm but the freezer seems fine. Is this the right part?
Yes, this is a very common and telling symptom pattern. The freezer sits right next to the evaporator coil and can stay reasonably cold through proximity even with weakening air circulation, but the fresh food compartment depends entirely on the fan pushing cold air through the ducting to reach it. When the fan motor fails or slows down, the fresh food side is usually the first and most noticeably affected area, and GE's own guidance confirms that a fresh-food-warm/freezer-fine pattern points to this fan.
Why would a fan motor "burn out quickly" instead of just wearing out slowly?
While this motor generally has a long service life, it can fail rapidly if something obstructs the fan blade from turning — commonly built-up frost or ice, or occasionally debris. When the blade can't turn freely, the motor works against resistance it wasn't designed for, which accelerates internal wear and can burn it out much faster than normal aging would. Clearing ice from around the fan before or during replacement helps prevent stressing the new motor the same way.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original 9.75V, 3.25W motor design, blade fitment, and 4-wire harness configuration of the fan motor originally installed in your refrigerator.

XPARTCO XPDC80X5-450R Dual Run Capacitor (80/5 MFD, 450V, Round)
The XPARTCO XPDC80X5-450R is a universal dual run capacitor for central air conditioners, heat pumps, and condensing units. A run capacitor works alongside a single-phase AC motor to keep it running efficiently once it's started, boosting torque and correcting the phase of the current feeding the motor's windings. This is a dual capacitor, meaning it combines two separate capacitors — one for the compressor, one for the condenser fan motor — into a single three-terminal can, which is why nearly every residential outdoor AC unit uses exactly this style of component to run both motors from one part.
Rated 80 MFD for the compressor circuit and 5 MFD for the fan motor circuit, at 450VAC, in a round aluminum can housing. Because a capacitor's voltage rating is a ceiling rather than a fixed match, this 450V-rated capacitor can safely replace an original capacitor rated 370V or 440V — going higher on voltage is always safe, going lower is not. Over time, the dielectric material inside a run capacitor breaks down from heat cycling and electrical stress, causing it to lose capacitance or fail outright. A failing dual capacitor produces a very recognizable set of symptoms: the outdoor unit hums but the compressor or fan won't start, the fan spins slowly or needs a manual push to get going, the system trips the breaker, or the capacitor can itself is visibly bulging, domed, or leaking oily residue at the top.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO XPDC80X5-450R Dual Run Capacitor fixes central air conditioners and heat pumps where the outdoor unit hums but won't start, the compressor or fan motor won't run, the fan spins slowly or needs a manual push, the breaker trips, or the capacitor can is visibly bulged or leaking. 80 MFD (compressor) + 5 MFD (fan) dual capacitor, 450VAC, round, 3-terminal. Universal fit for equipment originally speced at 370V or 440V, since a higher voltage rating is always a safe upgrade. Capacitors store a dangerous electrical charge even after power is disconnected — always discharge before handling.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Outdoor AC unit hums but the compressor won't start
Condenser fan won't spin, or spins slowly and needs a manual push to get going
System trips the breaker shortly after starting
AC blows warm air because the compressor isn't running
Repeated clicking sound from the contactor as it tries and fails to start the motor
Capacitor can visibly bulging, domed on top, or leaking oily residue
System that used to start slowly and has now stopped starting altogether
Burning smell from the outdoor unit's electrical compartment

XPDC80X5-450R
This is a universal component rather than a single-manufacturer part, so the specific OEM number your HVAC system's label references will vary by brand (Goodman, Trane, Carrier, Rheem, York, Lennox, Amana, and others). This capacitor is a correct replacement for any dual run capacitor matching the 80 MFD / 5 MFD rating with a voltage rating of 450V or lower. If you have your original part number, contact our support team and we will verify compatibility before you order.
Compatibility
This dual run capacitor is a universal replacement compatible with central air conditioners, heat pumps, and condensing units across all major HVAC brands, wherever the original capacitor is rated:
80 MFD (compressor) + 5 MFD (fan motor)
370V, 440V, or 450V (this capacitor's 450V rating exceeds and safely replaces either lower rating)
Round can shape with 3 terminals
Note: The MFD (microfarad) rating must match your original capacitor exactly on both sides — do not substitute a different MFD value for either the compressor or fan side. Voltage rating, on the other hand, can be equal to or higher than the original (450V safely replaces 370V or 440V), but never lower. Can shape (round vs. oval) affects only physical fit inside your unit's electrical compartment, not performance. If you're unsure of your original capacitor's specifications, they're printed directly on its can — contact our support team if you'd like help confirming compatibility.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Danger — Capacitors Store A Dangerous Electrical Charge Shut off power to the outdoor unit at the disconnect box and at the breaker before beginning. A capacitor stores an electrical charge even after power has been disconnected, and that charge can deliver a serious or fatal shock. Before touching any terminal, discharge the capacitor by shorting each pair of terminals together (C-to-Fan, C-to-Herm, and Fan-to-Herm) using an insulated-handle screwdriver, or by using a proper capacitor discharge tool with a resistor. Never short the terminals with a bare metal tool held with your bare hand. If you are not fully comfortable performing a capacitor discharge safely, have a qualified HVAC technician replace this part instead.
⚠️ Photograph The Wiring Before Disconnecting — Match Terminals Exactly Wear work gloves and safety glasses. After confirming the capacitor is fully discharged, photograph the wiring on the old capacitor's terminals before disconnecting anything — dual capacitors are labeled C (Common), Herm or Comp (compressor/hermetic), and Fan, and getting a wire on the wrong terminal can damage the new capacitor or the motor it feeds. Note which terminal each wire came from, or label them individually with tape. Remove the mounting strap or bracket holding the old capacitor in its housing, and disconnect each wire from its terminal. Install the new XPDC80X5-450R in the same mounting position, secure it with the strap or bracket, and reconnect each wire to the matching terminal (C, Herm, and Fan) exactly as labeled. Double-check every connection before restoring power. Restore power at the breaker and disconnect box, and confirm the compressor and fan both start promptly and run smoothly. Tools needed: insulated-handle screwdriver or capacitor discharge tool, nut driver, work gloves, safety glasses.
Frequently Asked Questions
My AC unit hums but won't start. Is this the capacitor?
It's one of the most common causes of exactly that symptom. A run capacitor gives the compressor or fan motor the extra push needed to start turning; without it, the motor can draw power and hum in place without ever actually starting to spin. If you can see the capacitor can and it looks bulged, domed on top, or is leaking a brown oily residue, that's strong visual confirmation of failure.
Can I use a 450V capacitor to replace my old 370V or 440V one?
Yes. Voltage rating is a ceiling, not an exact match requirement — a capacitor rated for a higher voltage than your original will work safely and often lasts longer under the same electrical stress. What you cannot do is go the other direction: never install a capacitor with a lower voltage rating than your original, since that risks premature failure or the capacitor breaking down under normal operating conditions.
Does the round vs. oval shape matter?
Only for physical fit inside your unit's electrical compartment — it has no effect on electrical performance. If your unit's mounting bracket or available space is sized for a round can, use a round capacitor; if it's sized for an oval can, use an oval one. The MFD and voltage ratings are what matter electrically, not the shape.
The fan spins if I give it a push, but won't start on its own. What does that mean?
This is a classic sign of a weak or failing capacitor — it may still have enough charge to keep the motor running once it's already spinning, but not enough to provide the initial starting torque. This is a strong signal to replace the capacitor before it fails completely and leaves you with no cooling at all.
Is this a genuine OEM part?
This is a universal replacement part rather than a brand-specific OEM part. Because dual run capacitors are a standardized component defined by their electrical specifications rather than their manufacturer, this capacitor is a correct replacement for any unit's original capacitor that shares the same 80/5 MFD, 450VAC, round dual run capacitor rating — regardless of which HVAC brand originally installed it.

XPARTCO DA97-15765C Refrigerator Condenser Fan Motor
The XPARTCO DA97-15765C is an aftermarket replacement condenser fan motor assembly for Samsung French door refrigerators. This assembly includes both the motor and the fan blade together, and it lives in the compressor/machine compartment at the back or bottom of the refrigerator, where its job is to pull air across the condenser coils and compressor to carry heat away from the refrigeration system. That's a different job from an evaporator fan — this motor cools the mechanical side of the system rather than circulating cold air to your food, so a failing condenser fan tends to affect the whole refrigerator's cooling capacity rather than just one compartment.
Rated 12V DC, 0.14A, 1.7W, running at approximately 1,120 RPM. On many Samsung models, a failed condenser fan motor triggers a 23C or 23E error code on the display, alongside symptoms like noticeable vibration or noise from the condenser area, elevated internal temperatures, or the over-temperature alarm sensor tripping. Common causes include normal wear on the motor bearings after prolonged use, blockages from dust and debris accumulation around the coils, or damage from moisture exposure. A fan blade that tries to spin but can't complete a full revolution, or that needs a manual nudge to keep turning, is a classic sign this assembly has started to fail. It directly replaces DA97-15765A, DA97-12842A, DA97-12842B, DA97-12842D, DA97-15765D, AP6001015, PS11733650, EAP11733650, DA31-00340A, RMF002ASSA, and 4959328.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DA97-15765C Refrigerator Condenser Fan Motor fixes Samsung French door refrigerators where the whole unit runs warm, the compressor area is noisy or vibrating, a 23C or 23E error code appears, or the over-temperature alarm trips. Includes motor and fan blade. 12V DC, 0.14A, 1.7W, ~1,120 RPM.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Store Perishable Food Separately Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning, and move perishable food to a cooler for the duration of the repair. Wear work gloves. Remove all shelves from the upper refrigerator cabinet to improve access. Using a flat-blade screwdriver, gently ease the back panel away from the cabinet — on many models it's retained by a cam bracket and snaps into place, so it should release without excessive force. This exposes the condenser/circulating fan. Before condemning the motor, clear away any dust, lint, or debris built up around the condenser coils and fan blade — restricted airflow from a dirty coil produces symptoms similar to a failing motor and costs nothing to rule out. Photograph the wiring harness connector and the fan blade's position before disconnecting anything. Remove the two screws holding the fan in place, unplug the fan lead harness connector, and remove the defective fan assembly. Install the new DA97-15765C in the same position, reconnect the harness plug, and reinstall and tighten the two mounting screws securely. Confirm the blade spins freely by hand without contacting the housing or coils before reinstalling the back panel — it should snap back into place via the cam bracket. Reinstall the shelves, restore power, and monitor the refrigerator over the next 24 hours to confirm normal, even cooling has returned and any error code has cleared. Tools needed: flat-blade screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My display shows a 23C or 23E error code. Does that mean I need this part?
It's a strong indicator on many Samsung models, since these codes are commonly associated with condenser fan motor failure. Before ordering, it's still worth a quick visual check — clear any dust or debris from around the condenser coils and fan blade, since a heavily clogged condenser can sometimes trigger similar temperature-related codes. If the error persists after cleaning, or if the fan blade doesn't spin freely by hand, this assembly is the likely fix.
The fan blade tries to spin but won't complete a full turn. Is that normal?
No — this is a classic sign the motor bearings are wearing out or that something is obstructing the blade. A healthy condenser fan should spin freely and continuously once started. If you find yourself needing to give the blade a manual nudge to keep it turning, or it stalls partway through a rotation, the motor has failed and needs to be replaced rather than repeatedly restarted by hand.
Both my fresh food and freezer sections are warm. Is this the right part?
Yes, that pattern points toward the condenser fan rather than an evaporator fan. Because the condenser fan cools the compressor and coils that the entire refrigeration cycle depends on, a failing condenser fan tends to reduce cooling capacity across both compartments together, rather than leaving one side fine while the other struggles.
Does this include the fan blade, or just the motor?
This is a complete assembly that includes both the motor and the fan blade together, so there's no need to transfer a blade from your old unit or source one separately.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is manufactured to match the electrical specifications (12V DC, 0.14A, 1.7W, ~1,120 RPM), fan blade design, and mounting configuration of the original DA97-15765C condenser fan motor assembly used in compatible Samsung French door refrigerators.
