Restore proper cooling performance in your refrigerator with the genuine OEM condenser fan motor part WR84X10055 from GE. This motor drives the fan that moves air over the condenser coils, helping the compressor run efficiently and keep interior temperatures stable. Because condenser / fan motor assemblies vary by model, mount location and wiring, please check with your maintenance technician to confirm this part number is compatible with your appliance’s full model number before ordering. geapplianceparts.com+2Repair Clinic+2

Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement
-
The refrigerator compressor runs longer than usual, or seems to be working harder / runs warmer — the condenser fan motor may not be functioning properly.
-
You hear unusual noises (rattling, humming, grinding) from the back of the refrigerator near the condenser coil area.
-
The fridge is not cooling properly, yet sealed system, compressor, evaporator fan and thermostat appear to function — a failed condenser fan motor can be the culprit.
-
You’ve inspected the fan blade and found it isn’t turning freely, the motor is hot to the touch or there’s visible damage/corrosion on the motor or wiring harness.
If you encounter any of these symptoms, have your maintenance technician confirm that the condenser fan motor is indeed at fault and that WR84X10055 is the correct part to replace.
Compatible Models (Partial)
This part is listed by GE as the official condenser fan motor for select refrigerators. geapplianceparts.com+1 Because models vary by year, door design, region and configuration, you must verify your appliance’s full model number (from the service tag) with your technician to ensure compatibility.

Compatibility Notes
-
Matching the entire model number (including suffix letters) of your refrigerator is essential — even if the motor looks identical, mounting bracket, wiring harness or connector type may differ.
-
Replacing only the motor will restore fan operation, but if the fan blade, mounting bracket or condenser coil are damaged, additional repairs may be required.
-
During installation: disconnect power (unplug the refrigerator), remove the lower back panel, locate the fan motor assembly, remove mounting screws, unplug the wiring harness, install new motor, reconnect wiring, secure panel, restore power and verify the fan spins freely and quietly.
-
After installation, monitor the refrigerator performance (cooling cycle, compressor heat, fan noise) to confirm correct operation and appliance stability.
