Desa R165A Cooling Fan Motor
The fan motor has the main duty of cooling the compressor, because a large quantity of heat gets released and that heat energy has to be driven away. The motor can be replaced without needing to replace the fan blade, this tends to make things easier and reduce the price overall. Just make sure you are able to buy one with the correct voltage and the correct amp listing as it is on the bad motor.
Red flags the cooling fan motor has to be replaced
- The Desa cooling motor tries but fails to turn at all
- The motor smells burnt or throws sparks when in use
- You can hear a rubbing or scraping sound while the motor is starting
