Description
Restore proper cooling performance in your refrigerator with this genuine OEM part DA97-01949A, manufactured by Samsung. This assembly includes the condenser fan motor and mounting bracket — essential for circulating air through the condenser coils and across the compressor. Without proper function of this fan motor your refrigerator may struggle to maintain temperature, over-cycle, or even fail to cool. Because condenser fan assemblies vary by model, door style and production region, please check with your maintenance technician to confirm that DA97-01949A matches your appliance’s full model number (including suffix) before ordering. appliancerepair.homedepot.com+2reliableparts.com+2
Features & Benefits
-
OEM specification & fit: Designed by Samsung to factory standards for fit, wiring harness, mounting tabs and performance. samsungparts.com+1
-
Includes bracket & wiring harness: The assembly comes with the motor, mount bracket and wire harness to simplify installation. appliancerepair.homedepot.com
-
Ensures proper cooling function: With the fan properly circulating air over the condenser and compressor, the refrigerator maintains temperature more reliably and avoids over-working the compressor.
-
Prevents overheating & compressor stress: A failing fan can lead to increased temperature, longer run times and premature compressor failure — replacing this part helps prevent those issues.
-
Cost-effective repair: Replacing the condenser fan motor is significantly less expensive than replacing the entire compressor or refrigeration system when the fan is the fault.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement
-
The refrigerator or freezer is warmer than usual, or fails to maintain set temperature, despite the thermostat being correct and the door seal being good.
-
You hear the compressor running but there is no airflow behind or beneath the appliance near the condenser coils, or you feel little to no air movement from the grille.
-
The appliance runs continuously (compressor never shuts off) or cycles very frequently — the lack of condenser fan circulation forces the system to work harder.
-
When you inspect the fan area you see the fan blade is not spinning, the motor is hot, there is visible debris blocking the fan, or the motor is making unusual noises (buzzing/grinding).
If you observe any of these symptoms, ask your maintenance technician to verify that the fan motor and bracket assembly (DA97-01949A) is indeed the faulty component before ordering.
