WR60X179 REFRIRATOR CONDENSER FAN MOTOR REPLACEMENT - 2W CW 1550RPM - REPLACES MANY BRanD MOTORS AT MORE AFFORDABLE PRICE

Excellent replacement for our 20+ 'fridge condenser fan that died. Quiet and works perfectly.Knocked one star off the install only to make folks aware that you may have to wire this fan into the fridge, versus the plug that was on our original fan. Easy peasy if you know how to use a wire striper, wire nuts and you can analyze the wires running into the plug.Hint: while waiting for the fan to arrive, remove the rear cover on the 'fridge and remove the old fan. Then place a 8" or so desktop fan set on high behind the 'fridge blowing into the open hole left by the fan to allow your fridge to continue to work. Yhea, that fan runs all the time, but it's only for a couple of days. Vacuum off all the radiator coils while you can get to them easily, too.

Perfect size and works great. Very quiet. If your original has a plug you will need to splice it but keep the plug just in case you need it in the future. Fridge is working great now. I did however have to defrost the entire unit as the entry ports from the freezer to the fridge had frozen and it wouldn't cool the fridge. Once I unplugged it for 1 day and defrosted everything she's running like a champ now.

Installed without issues. Works great! I used my original screws. Better quality than the screws provided. Absolutely no instructions. Good luck if you are not good with electrical. Great replacement motor

What I needed to know: 1) Confirm my fan blade orientation so I don't reverse the fan, because my blades aren't symmetrical. 2) Looking at the fan spindle, the motor spins counterclockwise (contrary to another post here). 3) My fan blows away from the condenser and out the back of the fridge. Based on fridge-tech posts I read, this is typical. 4) It's an AC motor so it spins the same way no matter which way the wires are connected. --Assessment: Motor is quiet and moves lots of air. I'm happy with it.Installation: It wasn't hard to install. I didn't have room to remove the fan enclosure so I unbolted the fan from the enclosure and worked it out. Not hard but I had to be careful to not bend any fan blades.The old motor had a plug built into the housing, while this motor is just a two lead consumer cord. Most people cut the plug, strip the ends and wire nut the leads together. I opted to push the stripped wire ends into the plug and then wrap it all in electrical tape. Because that's how I roll.

My 15 year old GE side by side refrigerator died just before the 4th of July weekend.I ordered this replacement condenser fan on the 3rd, fully expecting to be without a workingrefrigerator for at least a week. The kind folks at Edgewater Parts rushed the kit out the sameday! The part arrived the following Monday (3 days later), and my refrigerator was back in operationthat evening. The kit was an exact mechanical match to my old fan. The RPM rating was identical,as well as the rotation direction. Interfacing electrically was easy. Since my old GE fan used a customconnector, I simply cut off the old connector. Then it was a simple job of attaching the new fan with theincluded wire nuts, and some added shrink tubing. One observation, for those who have complained thattheir replacement fans are noisy. I found the biggest source of noise was the balance in my aluminum bladeassembly. It's a little tricky getting the old fan out of the refrigerator. If you attempt it, with the blade attached,it is easy to bend some of the blade wings. This will throw off the balance, and cause the mount + motor to rattle.To fix this, I spun the blade, after reassembling the refrigerator, and observing which wings were out of alignment.I then bent the wings back into shape. In the end, everything worked like new. Big thanks to everyone who madethis happen! BTW, my old fan was a WR60X179, 2Watt, 1550 RPM, CW rotation, 115VAC, 50/60Hz, 0.14Amp.

Fits a GE TFX22ZP refrigerator. Original part # was WR6OX179. Because this is a universal part, you must cut the wiring harness on the refrigerator, strip the two wires, and connect to the new fan motor with the included wire nuts. It doesn't matter which way you connect the wires, the motor will spin the correct direction either way.While you have the refrigerator pulled out, be sure to clean the coils from the back as well.Our 25 year old refrigerator works like new now.Pic attached is the fan you must replace. I forgot to take a picture of the new fan before I installed it.
