Whirlpool ATR0742RPP0 Cooling Fan Motor
The fan motor is responsible for cooling the outdoor compressor, because as the compressor gets hot the heat that needs to be discharged into the air outside. The motor can be replaced on its own as this will reduce install time and cheaper for you. Just make sure you buy a replacement motor with the correct voltage listed and correct amp current as it is on the current motor.
Clues of a poorly working fan motor
- The Whirlpool cooling motor fails to spin at all
- The compressor cooling motor starts to smoke or throws sparks when it begins to turn
- A constant rubbing or scraping sound as the motor turns
