W11578915 Whirlpool Condenser Fan Motor

The Condenser Fan Motor is a genuine OEM part designed for use in Whirlpool brand bottom-mount refrigerators. This motor is essential for driving the condenser fan, which helps remove heat from the refrigerator's coils to keep the interior cool.

The motor can fail due to normal wear on the bearings after continuous use or from obstructions that hinder the movement of the fan blades.

Signs of a malfunctioning motor include:
- Increased internal temperatures and issues with frost accumulation
- Longer operating periods and elevated energy usage
- Audible grinding or buzzing sounds near the refrigerator's system

This replacement part is crucial for maintaining effective heat dissipation and ensuring the freshness of stored food. It is also compatible with certain models from KitchenAid, Maytag, and some Kenmore refrigerators, potentially reducing future maintenance costs. Whirlpool manufactures products under several brands, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral, and supplies parts for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.
