Samsung DA97-01949A Refrigerator Condenser Fan Motor Replacement Part - Compatible with Samsung Refrigerators - Perfect for Cooling System Repair & Maintenance

Chances are that if you are looking up this part you are either a repair person, someone who is comfortable making appliance repairs, or someone who just got off of YouTube watching how to actually switch out the fan motor. In any case, here are just a few tips of advice about this fan motor:1. It does not come with a blade. I recommend ordering the blade just in case you can’t get the original blade off the fan motor. The first time I switched the fan motor the blade snapped and I had to order a replacement.2. If your fridge isn’t working, you can place a regular house fan, like a box fan, in back of the fridge an turn it on high pointed at the back of the fridge, this will act like a replacement fan and help keep the fridge cool which might save all of the food inside. I took the back panel off of my fridge and the fan worked perfectly and the ice maker even began making ice, which indicated that the fan needed to be replaced.3. This is the second time I’ve had to replace the fan motor. The first fan I replaced lasted about two years, so just keep that in mind.And finally, if you have any doubts about doing the repair yourself, contact a repair person. At least you have the part and a typical repair shouldn’t cost you that much. In the long run it is far cheaper buying the part and having someone install it for you than buying a new fridge. I saved between $1200-1500 because of refrigerator costs in my area.
