Whirlpool ATE1255CPP0 Cooling Fan Motor
The fan motor on the compressor is responsible for cooling the compressor, when heat is removed from the house, that heat must be discharged into the air outside. The AC compressor cooling fan motor on its own without the blade, this may make it a lot easier and make it a probable DIY project. Just make certain the replacement motor has the correct voltage listed and the proper amount of amperage as it is on the bad motor.

- A distinct grating type sound when the motor speeds up
- The main cooling motor starts to smoke or sparks as it turns
