Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓Use this guide to replace the condenser fan and motor in your Whirlpool 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.
This guide will work for most Whirlpool refrigerators. This guide is written with a model WRS315SDHW refrigerator. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same.
Note: Some photos show the doors removed for clarity purposes. Removing them is not required and will not change the procedure.
