Condenser Fan

The condenser fan utilizes a DC motor that operates
at a single speed and is mounted in the machine
compartment. When the fan is operating, air is pulled
through the condenser, drawing air through the coils.
The air is then exhausted past the compressor and out
the front of the refrigerator on the right side.
Inlet air is available through the left front and left rear of
the machine compartment.
If the fan shorts, it will damage the main control board.
If the resistor on the main control board is burnt, you
must replace the fan and the board (see photo page 15).
The condenser fan is mounted with screws to a fan
shroud and mounting bracket in back of the
condenser.
To remove the fan

Machine Compartment).
2. Disconnect the condenser fan wiring at the
harness connector.
