Whirlpool ATE1252CPP0 Cooling Fan Motor
The fan motor on the compressor is responsible for cooling the compressor, because as the compressor gets hot the heat must be dispersed in order to keep things cool. The motor on the compressor fan can be replaced as a whole unit with the blade or by itself, which this will make it a lot easier to install and cheaper too. Be sure you buy a replacement motor with the proper voltage and the precise amperage as it is on the bad motor.
What are the clues to watch out for to know my main cooling fan motor needs replacing?
- The Whirlpool cooling motor cannot turn the blade
- You may hear grinding sound while the motor is beginning to turn
- The main cooling motor starts to smoke or sparks as it spins
