WRS315SDHW Condenser Fan Replacement

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

Use this guide to replace the condenser fan in your Whirlpool WRS315SDHW Refrigerator.

The condenser fan draws air over the compressor and through the condenser coils. If your refrigerator won't cool properly, then the condenser fan might be broken.

Note: Some photos show the doors removed for clarity purposes. Removing them is not required and will not change the procedure.
