Hello,

We recently noticed our Whirlpool fridge was not cooling in both the freezer and fridge comparments. I pulled off the back panel and cleaned out the dust. I also discovered that the condensor fan was not working.

I gave the fan a few taps and it began to run. It continued running without any assistance and the temperature in the fridge and freezer appeared to get back to normal levels. After a few days, the same thing happened. The fridge and freezer temperatures were much too high. The condensor had stopped turning once again.

I then ordered a new condensor motor from this site. A couple of questions for you -

Do you think a new condensor fan motor will fix my problem?
What controls the condensor fan motor to turn on / off ?

Thanks for your help!
