I have an older Kenmore elite that works great as long as I have a fan blowing directly on the compressor. The condenser fan appears to work. It just doesn’t keep the compressor from overheating. It is pulling air through the bottom, but not enough to cool compressor. I have cleaned it out good underneath. I put a meter on the compressor and it appears to be good. Can the condenser fan be weak but appear to be working fine? What else could it be? Thanks
Could you post a picture or vid of your compressor area and fan?
Are you running it with the back cover in place?
Having trouble uploading photos but back cover is off. Condenser fan has been taken out, portable fan mostly aimed at compressor is working fine. If I turn that fan off, it overheats. Basically, I have the fridge pulled away from the wall with a fan blowing on it. Any help is appreciated.
