Condenser Fan

The condenser fan utilizes a DC motor that
operates on a single speed and is mounted in
the machine compartment with the No-Clean
condenser. The fan and fan shroud are
mounted on one end of the condenser, the other
end of the condenser is blocked. When the fan
is operating, air is pulled from the center of the
condenser, drawing air in through the coils. The
air is then exhausted over the compressor and
out the right side of the refrigerator.

Inlet air is available through the left front and left
rear of the machine compartment. A rubber
divider strip underneath the refrigerator divides
the inlet and outlet sides of the machine
compartment.

The rear access cover must be tightly fitted to
prevent air from being exhausted directly out of
the rear of the machine compartment, bypassing
the compressor.

The condenser fan is mounted with screws to a
fan shroud and mounting bracket that is
attached to the condenser. To remove the fan:

1. Remove the rear access cover.

2. Remove 1 screw from the condenser fan

mounting bracket.

3. Remove 2 screws from the condenser fan

cover.

4. Pull the fan out and disconnect the electrical

connector.
