833697 10884507 Refrigerator Condenser Motor Replacement 120V 2W .28A 50/60Hz 1550 RPM

Used for a old Kenmore refrigerator, and works like a champ. Perfect fit. Plus it's nice an quiet now.

Needed to cut the connector off that was attached to the old motor. (previous motor had a plug in connector - new one has just two wrires) Stripped and connected the wires with the wire nuts provided. Lengthened and connected the ground wire from the old connector to the new motor with one of the extr screws provided. Complete job took a little over an hour. No directions provided but it was reasonably obvious what to do. Shipping was quick and packaging was good.

I bought the fan motor since the one in my 20+ year-old Kenmore refrigerator was working off and on. It fit perfectly in the mounting brackets and the old fan blade fit on the shaft of the motor. The replacement was simple, I used the provided wire nuts to connect two wires to the refrigerator and it worked. I was surprised that the freezer now gets colder than it has in years, so the problem was worse than I thought.

It fitted perfectly on my 23 year old Sears Kenmore fridge model # 253.72242201 , mine had a 4 wire plug , the new fan motor has a 2 wire black cord , so I connected the red (hot) wire to the black wire with raised ribs on the side , the 2 blue wires (neutral) to the other black wire with the smooth side , the green wire (ground) to one of the motor bracket screws, using a wire connector with an eye hole . Before tightening up the 3 arm bracket screws make sure to position the fan blade center in the housing , spin the fan to check it doesn’t touch the blades & tighten up the screws . Very nice fan motor . Spins a little faster than my original but , i believe it’s better to cool the condenser.

Easy to install and save our Whirlpool refrigerator

My refrigerator is a 1985 Kenmore model no. 106.8740980. First noticed freezer wasn't keeping things frozen. Opened back cover and the exhaust fan was not spinning. If I gave the blade a push it would run for a while and then quit. Ordered this new fan and it was shipped quickly and well packaged. I decided there was more room, and it would be easier to take out the three sheet metal screws that held the frame and replace it that way rather than trying to replace the fan motor in place (see pics). Much easier and I could torque the bolts holding the fan down much better this way than trying to do it in the tight confines behind the motor. Everything was an exact fit and it is now working perfectly. Back in business for a reasonable cost and some time. Saved our refrigerator which we can no longer get the same color.

Works Great.

Perfect fit, economical, relatively easy installation. To make it easier on me, I cut and spliced the original connector to the two wires on new motor - pretty simple! This was for my mom's '92 Whirlpool side-by-side unit....tremendously cheaper than a new refrigerator /freezer!
