Supco SM5109 Refrigerator Condenser Fan Motor, Replaces Whirpool 833697

Thought it wouldn’t fit because mine had 3 wires connected and this uses 2 but the reviews here helped me see that the third wire was a ground wire that was useless so I connected it to another ground and used the 2 included wires to hook this up, worked great, much more airflow and a bit more sound but idc, MAKE SURE TO CLEAN THE RADIATOR AND FINS UNDER THE FRIDGE!! The restriction from 20 years of dust is probably what overworked my GE fan and caused it to fail, I used a shop vac to blow it out and so much dust and lint came out that I’m sure this thing had NO airflow anyway. Anyway fridge works great now and motor turns on 10% of what it used to. Great value vs 250$ oem one that doesn’t blow as much air

This was an easy-enough replacement for my fridge: Maytag PTB2154GRW from 2003. Original motor was a GE 5KSM51AG. There was a 3-pin connector going to that motor. I cut off the connector and wired the two black wires from this motor to the orange and the blue wires bringing power in to old motor. I connected the ground (green/yellow stripe) wire to the body of the new fan where it attaches to one of the mounting arms. Easiest method was to unscrew the back and bottom screws where motor attaches to arms, then twist those arms out of the way and lift the motor and top arm out of its rubber mounting grommet. To reinstall, move fan blades to new motor and attach new fan to the top arm; slide it into the top rubber mounting grommet, then replace the other two screws. I had to use the screws that came with the new fan (different thread pitch). I knew the old one needed replaced because the area between the doors has been hot to the touch for quite a while--I didn't even realize I hadn't heard the old fan running (probably for close to a year--ouch. It's a testament to this old fridge that it's still working. If you can fix the old one cheap, don't buy a new one that will only last one third as long.) I rolled the fridge out to clean it and realized the compressor was running but the fan was not--it started when I spun it by hand, but it was going much slower than it should have been. This was a good investment for someone with any basic DIY skill. Don't forget to unplug the fridge before you start this repair.

I ordered this for a Whirlpool fridge that was 24 years old. The exterior of the fridge was getting very hot as it was not pulling air across the condenser coils. This fan was a perfect fit, though the thread size was different on this replacement mount. Just pay attention to the direction the fan blades are mounted as a blade is not included. I spliced into the original wire set. It should be noted that the polarity of the wires is not important as this is an AC motor - it only rotates in one direction, as long as the blades are on correctly it should be fine. The fan was qiuiet. Also the price on this unit was better than others that I priced. longevity remains to be seen but if it lasts half as long as the original I will be ecstatic.

Had to replace the compressor fan motor in an old Amana refrigerator. This was a simple, easy , cost affordable replacement. It runs great, is quiet and does the job well.Had to cut the wires from the old motor and wire the into the new one. Able to install the fan blade(s) very easily.Couldn't be happier!

Purchased this condenser fan motor for an older GE TFX24V refrigerator. The motor physically fits perfectly. You do have to cut and splice the electrical wiring but the part come with wire nuts for that. All in all, this is a great option and is certainly cheaper than an OEM fan motor.

I finally nailed down the issues with the old refrigerator in my garage, it was an old condenser fan that would no longer turn over. I found this very affordable replacement and figured I would give it a shoot. IT works fantastically, super easy to install, and the fridge is more efficient than ever! 5 Star

My fan stopped spinning and the fridge got super hot and melted the water lines that were touching the condenser coil. The OEM fan was the same price elsewhere, but Amazon Prime could get it here next day for free. Wish I had gone OEM, the fridge is much louder as some other reviewers had stated. It stills runs a lot, so I can't say if the extra RPM is helping it turn off quicker. OEM fan was 1300RPM, this is 1550RPM. My sanity gives it 3 stars. Also not a fan of the wire nuts. The plastic water lines are likely to be the component that fails in a fridge. The water spray and wire nuts are not a good combination. I'm going to order some heat shrink and replace the wire nuts.
