Whirlpool ATR1242SPP0 Cooling Fan Motor
The fan motor is primarily in charge of keeping the compressor cool, this is crucial due to the large amounts of heat must be dispelled into the air. The motor can be replaced with the blade or without as this results in a simpler type of replacement and it is something you can do yourself. Just make sure you are able to buy one with the same voltage and the correct amp listing as on the current fan motor.
What happens when my fan motor is crapping out?
- The cooling motor begins to smoke makes a zapping sound as it spins
- The Whirlpool motor tries but fails to turn at all
- A weird scraping sound when the cooling fan turns
