Description
Description
Restore proper cooling performance in your refrigerator with this genuine OEM condenser fan motor (Part 241696606) by Frigidaire (also used by Electrolux). This motor drives the condenser‐fan blade, which pulls air across the condenser coil to release heat — a critical step in the refrigeration cycle. A failing or non-spinning condenser fan motor often leads to poor cooling, high temperatures, or system overloads. Please check with your maintenance technician prior to ordering to confirm this is the correct motor for your appliance’s full model number and that the fault diagnosis identifies the fan motor as the root cause. frigidaireapplianceparts.com+2hdsupplysolutions.com+2
Features & Benefits
-
OEM‐specified replacement: Designed by Frigidaire/Electrolux for direct fit and proper performance. frigidaireapplianceparts.com+1
-
Supports optimal airflow over the condenser coil, improving heat rejection, reducing compressor stress, and promoting efficient cooling.
-
Helps eliminate cooling issues triggered by inadequate condenser airflow (such as high cabinet temperature, compressor over-run or short cycling) when properly diagnosed.
-
Durable motor assembly built for household refrigerator service life.
-
Fairly straightforward installation (when technician confirms compatibility) — replacing the motor can avoid more costly compressor or sealed-system failures.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement
-
Refrigerator isn’t cooling properly, but the compressor appears to run, or the back of the fridge is warm/hot and fan isn’t spinning.
-
Audible hiss or increased noise from the condenser area (fan motor may be noisy, vibrating, or stuck).
-
Cabinet interior or freezer section warming up gradually — blocked airflow due to failed motor can cause high head pressure and degrade performance.
-
Visual inspection reveals the fan blade isn’t moving or the motor is hot/locked.
If you observe any of these symptoms, consult your maintenance technician to verify that the condenser fan motor is indeed at fault before ordering this part.

Compatibility Notes
-
Matching the full refrigerator model number is critical — even similar-looking appliances may use different fan motors or assemblies. partselect.com
-
While replacing the fan motor often resolves cooling problems traced to airflow issues, if the condenser coil is blocked, the compressor is failing, or other components are at fault, the motor replacement alone may not fix the symptom— technician diagnosis is recommended.
-
For safety: disconnect power, unplug refrigerator, remove access panel to the motor/fan area, and follow proper installation steps. Ensure the fan blade is clear of obstruction, mounts securely, and spins freely.
-
After installation, monitor performance — the cabinet should achieve proper temperature without excessive runtime or overheating.
