Whirlpool ATE1242CPP0 Cooling Fan Motor
The compressor fan motor is primarily in charge of cooling the compressor, this is needed because of the heat that needs to be dissipated. It is important that you find one with the correct voltage and the proper amount of amperage as it is on the bad motor. The unit may be replaced without the need of replacing the blade too, this may make it a lot easier and will reduce the costs you need to pay.
Signals of a poorly performing fan motor
- The Whirlpool motor tries but fails to turn at all
- You hear a grinding noise when the cooling fan is beginning to turn
- The motor begins to smoke or shorts out while in use
