Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator and Move Perishable Food Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Unplug the refrigerator and safely store any food that could spoil while the power is off. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. The evaporator fan motor is located behind the rear access panel inside the freezer compartment. Remove the freezer shelves and any internal components blocking access to the rear panel. Remove the screws holding the rear access panel to expose the evaporator coils and fan motor (a 1/4" hex driver is commonly needed). Photograph the wire connections and fan blade orientation before disconnecting. Disconnect the wire harness connector from the old motor. Note the orientation of the fan blade on the motor shaft and the position of the two rubber mounting grommets — both must be transferred to the new motor. Remove the mounting screws or release the motor from its bracket, and pull the old motor free. Transfer the rubber grommets and fan blade (if not pre-installed) to the new 2315539 motor in the same orientation. Install the new motor in the same position, reconnect the wire harness, and reinstall the access panel and shelves. Plug the refrigerator back in and allow several hours for the unit to return to its set temperature before reloading with food. Tools needed: 1/4" hex driver, Phillips screwdriver, flathead screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My freezer is making loud noise — is it the evaporator fan motor?
Yes, this is the most recognizable symptom of a failed evaporator fan motor on Whirlpool-platform refrigerators. When the motor's bearings wear out, it produces loud humming, whining, grinding, or scraping noises during operation. The noise often varies as the fan speed changes or as ice builds up around the fan blade. To confirm, unplug the refrigerator and access the fan behind the rear freezer panel — try turning the blade by hand. If it doesn't spin freely, is stiff, or seizes, the motor bearing has failed and needs replacement.
My freezer is cold but my fridge is warm — could this be the cause?
Yes — on many Whirlpool-platform refrigerators, the freezer's evaporator fan motor is responsible for circulating cool air from the freezer evaporator into the fresh food compartment as well. When this fan fails, the freezer's own compartment may stay cold because the cold air is generated right there, but the fresh food section warms up because no air is being moved into it. If your fridge is warm while the freezer remains cold, this is a likely cause — especially if you also hear unusual noise from the freezer area or see ice buildup on the evaporator coils.
What is the difference between 2315539 and WP2315539?
These are the same evaporator fan motor. WP2315539 is the updated Whirlpool OEM part number that superseded the original 2315539. The 2219689, 2225625, W10438708, and ESF-U2B are also cross-references for this same motor across various Whirlpool catalog revisions and production runs. This aftermarket replacement is compatible with all of these numbers.
Why do I need to transfer the rubber grommets from the old motor?
The two rubber grommets seat between the motor housing and the mounting bracket inside the refrigerator. They isolate the motor from the cabinet to dampen vibration and reduce noise during operation, and they also keep the motor properly positioned in its mount. The new 2315539 typically ships without these grommets — they are reused from the old motor. Remove them carefully from the old motor before discarding it, and slide them onto the new motor in the same positions. Without the grommets, the motor may run noisily or vibrate excessively.
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 dimensions, electrical specifications (115V AC, 60Hz, clockwise rotation), incorporated wire harness, and function of the original WP2315539/2315539 evaporator fan motor.

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.
Quick Answer
The WR60X10185 Genuine OEM GE Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor fixes GE, Hotpoint, and select Kenmore refrigerators where the fresh food section runs warm while the freezer stays cold, there's unusual noise from the freezer, or frost is building up around the coil. 9.75V DC, 3.25W, 4-wire harness on a 6-pin connector (2 pins empty). Does NOT include a thermistor. Replaces AP3875639, 1170107, 197D2039P007, 197D2039P008, PS1019114, WR23X10353, WR23X10355, WR23X10364, WR60X10043, WR60X10154, and others listed below. If your old connector has a white thermistor wire, you need WR60X10074 instead; if it has a light connector, you need WR23X10467.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Fresh food compartment running warmer than normal while the freezer stays reasonably cold
Unusual noise — humming, buzzing, or grinding — coming from the freezer
Freezer not cooling properly, which in turn affects compressor performance
Frost or ice buildup accumulating around the fan blade or evaporator coil

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.

WR60X10318 Genuine OEM GE Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
The WR60X10318 is a genuine GE OEM evaporator fan motor assembly used in side-by-side refrigerators, complete with an integrated 2-wire thermistor built right into its 6-pin wiring harness. This motor draws air across the evaporator coil and circulates it through both the fresh food and freezer compartments, while the built-in thermistor reports temperature back to the control board so it can regulate cooling accurately. Because the thermistor and fan motor arrive as a single assembly, a fault in either function shows up together, and replacing this one part addresses both.
The harness and plug measure approximately 13-7/8" in length. Common failure causes include worn motor bearings that eventually seize the shaft entirely, debris or ice buildup around the fan blade, and general electrical wear over time. On this side-by-side platform, a classic failure sequence is a bearing that starts out noisy, then progressively worsens until the motor freezes up completely — once the fan stops moving air, the evaporator coil often ices over heavily since moisture keeps accumulating with nowhere for the resulting cold air to go. Symptoms include unusual noise from the freezer, inconsistent or warm temperatures in either compartment, visible frost buildup on the coil, and a refrigerator that runs continuously trying to compensate. It directly replaces AP4981643, PS3487992, EAP3487992, and 1812462.
Quick Answer

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Side-by-Side Units May Have Tight Clearance Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning, and move perishable food to a cooler for the duration of the repair. Wear work gloves. On side-by-side models, access can be tight: you may need to remove the rear interior panel, the ice maker, and a fan cover to reach the motor, so budget extra time and patience compared to a simpler platform. If the evaporator coil is heavily iced over, let the unit sit unplugged with the door open for several hours, or run a manual defrost, before continuing — ice can make the old motor difficult to remove cleanly and may be masking the actual point of failure. Photograph the 6-pin wiring harness connector and the fan blade's orientation before disconnecting anything. Remove the mounting screws holding the fan assembly in place, unplug the wiring harness connector, and slide the old assembly out of its housing. Slide the new WR60X10318 assembly into the same housing, secure it with the mounting screws, and reconnect the harness connector fully. Confirm the blade spins freely by hand without contacting the housing before reassembling the fan cover, ice maker, and rear panel. Restore power, open the door to test the fan, and monitor both compartments over the next 24 hours to confirm even, consistent cooling has returned. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" and 5/16" nut drivers, work gloves, and a headlamp or flashlight for visibility in tight spaces.
Frequently Asked Questions
My freezer is heavily iced over and both compartments are warm. Is this the fan motor?
Yes, this is a very common failure sequence on this platform. Once the evaporator fan motor's bearings wear out and the motor slows or seizes, air stops circulating away from the coil, moisture keeps condensing on it, and ice builds up heavily. Once that happens, both the freezer and fresh food compartments typically lose cooling together, since neither is getting circulated cold air anymore. Thawing the ice and confirming the fan motor doesn't spin freely by hand will confirm this diagnosis.
Does this include the thermistor, or do I need to buy that separately?
It's included. This assembly ships with a 2-wire thermistor built directly into the 6-pin wiring harness, so you don't need to source or install a separate thermistor component — replacing this one part addresses both the fan motor and the thermistor together.
Why is access so tight on my side-by-side refrigerator?
Side-by-side refrigerators tend to pack components more tightly than French door or top-freezer models, and this evaporator fan often sits behind the ice maker and a dedicated fan cover in addition to the rear interior panel. Removing all of these takes more time than a simpler platform, but the fan motor itself installs the same straightforward way once you have access — a headlamp or flashlight helps considerably in the tighter space.
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 includes the same motor design, fan blade, integrated thermistor, and 6-pin harness configuration as the evaporator fan motor assembly originally installed in your side-by-side refrigerator.

XPARTCO WR60X35205 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
The XPARTCO WR60X35205 is an aftermarket replacement fresh food evaporator fan motor for GE refrigerators. This small DC motor drives the fan that circulates cold air from the evaporator across the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment, keeping temperature consistent throughout the section — especially important on larger or multi-zone units where air needs to reach multiple shelves and drawers evenly. When the motor's bearings wear out or the windings fail, airflow to the fresh food section drops off even though the freezer keeps working normally, since the two compartments typically run on separate fan motors.
Rated 13.6V DC, 0.16A, this is a direct-fit aftermarket replacement built to the same mounting and electrical specification as the original motor. A quieter-running motor than a worn original is a common result after replacement, since failing bearings are often what make the old motor noisy before it fails outright.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WR60X35205 Evaporator Fan Motor fixes a GE refrigerator whose fresh food (fridge) compartment is running warm while the freezer still works fine, or that makes a new buzzing/grinding noise from the fan area. 13.6V DC / 0.16A, direct-fit replacement. Classic symptom: fridge section creeping up toward 50-55°F while the freezer stays cold, often paired with a noisy fan just before failure.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Fresh food (refrigerator) compartment running warm while the freezer stays cold
Buzzing, grinding, or rattling noise from the fan area — often a sign of a failing bearing
Inconsistent or uneven cooling across refrigerator shelves and drawers
Food in the bottom crisper drawers freezing unexpectedly due to airflow imbalance

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the refrigerator or switch off its circuit breaker before beginning. Remove the interior back panel or evaporator cover inside the fresh food compartment per your model's service guide — you may need to remove shelves or drawers first for access. Some models require a short defrost/thaw wait if frost has built up around the evaporator assembly. Disconnect the wire harness from the old fan motor, remove the mounting screws or clips, and note the fan blade's orientation before removing it. Transfer the fan blade to the new motor if it isn't included, install the new motor in the same position, reconnect the wire harness, and reinstall the cover and any shelves. Restore power and confirm the fan runs quietly and the compartment begins cooling normally.
Frequently Asked Questions
My fridge is warm but my freezer is fine — is this the part I need?
Yes, this is a classic symptom of a failed fresh food evaporator fan motor. Since many GE refrigerators use separate fans for the fridge and freezer compartments, a fan failure on the fridge side won't affect freezer cooling.
My fan is making a buzzing or grinding noise but still runs — should I wait until it fails completely?
Not recommended. A buzzing or grinding noise is a common sign of a failing motor bearing, and these motors often run noisy for a period before failing outright. Replacing it at the first sign of noise can prevent a sudden loss of cooling.
Is this the freezer fan or the fridge fan?
This is specifically the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment fan motor, not the freezer fan. If your freezer isn't cooling or circulating air properly, you'll need the separate freezer evaporator fan motor part instead.
Does this include the fan blade?
This listing is for the fan motor. In most cases the original fan blade transfers over to the new motor during installation — check your specific motor and blade assembly when you remove the old unit.

EAU61524007 Genuine OEM LG Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
The EAU61524007 is a genuine LG OEM evaporator fan motor for LG and select Kenmore refrigerators. This motor circulates air over the evaporator coil and distributes that cooled air into the fresh food and freezer compartments in a balanced way, which is what keeps temperatures even throughout the refrigerator and helps prevent frost from building up on the coil.
DC-powered, white in color, with an assembled height of approximately 1 inch. Over time, the motor's bearings can wear out, or general electrical failure can set in from years of continuous cycling. A failing evaporator fan motor produces a wide range of symptoms since it affects both compartments and the defrost system: the refrigerator may not start at all, either compartment may run too warm or too cold, or frost buildup may appear where it shouldn't. Unusual noise from the freezer is another common early sign of a struggling motor. It directly replaces EAU60694510, AP5950081, PS10058947, EAP10058947, and PD00006349.
Quick Answer
The EAU61524007 Genuine OEM LG Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor fixes LG and select Kenmore refrigerators that won't start, run too warm or too cold in either compartment, or show frost buildup where it shouldn't be.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning, and move perishable food to a cooler for the duration of the repair. Wear work gloves. Access is typically 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 wiring harness connector from the old motor, 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 EAU61524007 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, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My refrigerator won't start at all. Could this really be the fan motor?
Yes, this is one of the documented symptoms for this part on LG's own service guidance. Because this motor is tied into the refrigeration and defrost circuit, a failure here can present as the unit not starting at all, in addition to the more expected symptoms like temperature problems or noise. That said, other components can produce a similar no-start symptom, so it's worth confirming this diagnosis if you're not fully certain.
Both compartments are running warm, not just one. Does that still point to this motor?
Yes. Since this motor is responsible for distributing cooled air to both the fresh food and freezer compartments from the evaporator coil, a failure here can affect both areas simultaneously rather than just one, unlike some other fan motor designs that mainly affect the compartment further from the coil.
How do I make sure I'm ordering this exact motor and not a similar one?
Check the part number printed directly on your old motor if it's legible, or confirm your refrigerator's full model number against the compatibility list. LG has released similarly-numbered motors, such as EAU61524002, that serve different models and have different electrical specifications, so matching by number is more reliable than matching by general appearance.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by LG to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original motor design, blade fitment, and mounting configuration of the evaporator fan motor originally installed in your refrigerator.

XPARTCO WR60X10220 Refrigerator Condenser Fan Motor
The XPARTCO WR60X10220 is an aftermarket replacement condenser fan motor for GE frost-free refrigerators with a condenser coil. This motor lives in the compressor/machine compartment at the back or bottom of the refrigerator. Whenever the compressor runs, this fan runs right along with it, circulating air through the refrigerator's grille to cool both the compressor and the condenser coils as they work. It also plays a secondary role in helping evaporate excess water that collects in the drain pan.
Because the condenser fan cools the mechanical side of the refrigeration system rather than circulating cold air to your food, a failing motor tends to affect the whole refrigerator's cooling capacity rather than just one compartment. The harness and plug extend approximately 8" from the motor body. Common failure causes include worn motor bearings, dust and debris buildup around the coils restricting airflow, and general electrical wear over time. Symptoms include a refrigerator that runs warm overall, a hot cabinet area near the back or bottom of the unit, a squealing or grinding noise, or the compressor running constantly as it struggles to shed heat. It directly replaces AP4298602, 1257132, AH1766247, EA1766247, PS1766247, WR60X10133, WR60X10171, WR60X10192, and SM10220.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WR60X10220 Refrigerator Condenser Fan Motor fixes GE, Hotpoint, RCA, Kenmore, Haier, Monogram, and Café frost-free refrigerators with a hot cabinet area, squealing or grinding noise, or a fridge running warm overall. Harness and plug extend approximately 8" from the motor. Replaces AP4298602, 1257132, AH1766247, EA1766247, PS1766247, WR60X10133, WR60X10171, WR60X10192, SM10220. This cools the compressor and condenser coils — a different part and symptom pattern than an evaporator fan, which only affects internal air circulation to the food compartments.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting Shut off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box, then pull the refrigerator away from the wall and disconnect the power cord from the outlet. Wear work gloves. Remove the condenser fan motor cover, typically held on by two screws, to access the motor. 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 and the fan blade's position before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the power wire and the ground wire from the old motor, remove the mounting screws or clips holding the motor bracket in place, and pull the motor and fan blade assembly free. If the old fan blade is seized onto the motor shaft, a firm, sudden strike (rather than steady pressure) will typically break the blade loose from the shaft without damaging the plastic blade, so it can be reused on the new motor. Mount the new WR60X10220 in the same position, reconnect the power and ground wires, and confirm the blade spins freely by hand without contacting the housing before reinstalling the fan cover. Restore power and monitor the refrigerator over the next 24 hours to confirm normal, even cooling has returned and any hot cabinet area or noise has resolved. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My refrigerator has a hot spot on the cabinet and runs warm overall. Is this the right part?
Yes, this is a classic symptom pair for a failing condenser fan motor. Without proper airflow across the condenser coils and compressor, heat builds up in the machine compartment (producing that hot cabinet area) while the whole refrigeration cycle loses efficiency, which shows up as both compartments running warmer than normal rather than just one.
The old fan blade is stuck on the motor shaft. How do I remove it without breaking it?
A gentle, steady pull often won't budge a seized blade, but a firm, sudden strike to the blade (rather than continuous pressure) will typically pop it loose from the metal shaft without damaging the plastic blade itself, so you can reuse it on the new motor if a blade isn't included. Work carefully and support the blade so it doesn't fall and crack once it releases.
Could dirty condenser coils cause the same symptoms as a bad fan motor?
Yes, and it's worth checking before you buy a new motor. A condenser fan pushing air through coils caked in dust, pet hair, or debris will struggle to cool the system properly even if the motor itself is working fine. Clean the coils and the fan blade thoroughly first; if the fan still doesn't spin freely, spins with a wobble, or doesn't run at all afterward, the motor itself has failed and this replacement is the correct fix.
Does this fan also affect my drain pan?
Yes, indirectly. In addition to cooling the compressor and condenser coils, this fan helps evaporate excess water that collects in the drain pan beneath the refrigerator. If the fan has failed, you may notice water pooling or not evaporating as it normally would, in addition to the more obvious cooling and noise symptoms.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured to match the mounting configuration, dimensions, and airflow performance of the original WR60X10220 condenser fan motor used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, RCA, Kenmore, Haier, Monogram, and Café refrigerators.

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

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.

XPARTCO DA97-20025A Refrigerator Condenser Fan Motor
The XPARTCO DA97-20025A is an aftermarket replacement condenser fan motor for Samsung French door, Flex 4-door, and side-by-side refrigerators. This small DC motor lives in the compressor compartment at the back or bottom of the refrigerator, and its job is to pull air across the condenser coils and the compressor itself to carry heat away from the refrigeration system. That's a very different job from an evaporator fan — the condenser fan cools the mechanical side of the system rather than circulating cold air to your food, so a failing condenser fan affects the whole refrigerator's cooling capacity rather than just one compartment.
Rated at 12V DC, 0.11A. When this fan slows down or stops, the compressor and condenser coils can't shed heat properly, which makes the whole system work harder and less effectively — both the fresh food and freezer compartments can run warm together, the compressor may run hot and cycle off on thermal protection, and you may notice increased noise or heat coming from the back or bottom of the cabinet. Common failure modes include worn motor bearings, a jammed blade from dust and debris buildup around the condenser coils, or electrical failure of the motor windings. It directly replaces PD00076495, 4962138, AP6883701, PS12720104, and EAP12720104.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DA97-20025A Refrigerator Condenser Fan Motor fixes Samsung French door, Flex 4-door, and side-by-side refrigerators where both compartments run warm together, the compressor runs hot or trips out, the refrigerator runs constantly, or there's unusual noise from the back or bottom of the cabinet. 12V DC, 0.11A. Replaces PD00076495, 4962138, AP6883701, PS12720104, EAP12720104. This cools the compressor and condenser coils — a different part and a different symptom pattern than an evaporator fan, which only affects internal air circulation.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Both the fresh food and freezer compartments running warmer than normal at the same time
Refrigerator running constantly as the compressor struggles to keep up
Compressor running unusually hot, or shutting off on thermal overload protection
Unusual noise — humming, buzzing, or grinding — coming from the back or bottom of the refrigerator
Ice maker not producing ice due to overall insufficient cooling
Noticeably higher energy use as the compressor works harder to compensate
Fan blade in the compressor compartment that doesn't spin freely or spins with a wobble when checked by hand
Excessive dust or debris buildup visible around the condenser coils and fan

Note — condenser fan, not evaporator fan: This motor cools the compressor and condenser coils in the machine compartment at the back or bottom of the refrigerator. It is a completely different part from an evaporator fan motor (such as our DA31-00334C or DA81-06013A listings), which sits behind the freezer's rear panel and circulates cold air to the food compartments. The two fail with different symptom patterns: a condenser fan problem tends to warm the whole refrigerator evenly and stress the compressor, while an evaporator fan problem typically leaves the freezer relatively fine while the fresh food side goes warm. Always verify your full model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure which fan motor your refrigerator needs.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is from the rear or bottom of the refrigerator, depending on your model: remove the rear access panel, or pull the unit out and remove the base grille/toe-kick panel at the bottom to reach the compressor compartment. 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 similar symptoms to a failing motor and costs nothing to rule out. Photograph the wiring harness connector and the fan blade's position 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. Transfer the fan blade to the new motor if it isn't included, matching the original orientation. Mount the new DA97-20025A in the same position, reconnect the wiring harness connector fully, and confirm the blade spins freely by hand without contacting the housing or coils before reassembling the access panel. Restore power and monitor the refrigerator over the next 24 hours to confirm normal, even cooling has returned and the compressor is no longer running hot. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
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 condenser 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. If only your fresh food section is warm while the freezer stays cold, that's more typical of an evaporator fan issue instead.
My compressor feels very hot and the fridge cycles off sometimes. Could that be the fan?
Very possibly. Without adequate airflow from the condenser fan, the compressor and coils can't shed heat efficiently, causing the compressor to run hotter than designed. Many compressors have built-in thermal overload protection that shuts them down temporarily if they overheat, which can show up as the refrigerator seeming to randomly stop and restart cooling. Restoring proper condenser airflow is often what resolves this.
Could dirty condenser coils cause the same symptoms as a bad fan motor?
Yes, and it's worth checking before you buy a new motor. A condenser fan pushing air through coils caked in dust, pet hair, or debris will struggle to cool the system properly even if the motor itself is working fine. Clean the coils and the fan blade thoroughly first; if the fan still doesn't spin freely, spins with a wobble, or doesn't run at all afterward, the motor itself has failed and this replacement is the correct fix.
Do I need this motor or an evaporator fan motor?
It depends on the symptom and the fan's location. The condenser fan sits in the compressor compartment at the back or bottom of the refrigerator and cools the compressor and coils — a failure here tends to warm the whole unit and stress the compressor. An evaporator fan sits behind the freezer's rear interior panel and circulates already-cold air to the compartments — a failure there typically leaves the freezer relatively unaffected while the fresh food section goes warm. If you're not sure which fan has failed, check which one is running (or not) by listening near each location with the refrigerator open and the door switch triggered manually, or contact our support team with your model number.
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, 0.11A), fan blade design, and mounting configuration of the original DA97-20025A condenser fan motor used in compatible Samsung refrigerators.
