It usually sits in the machinery compartment at the back, moving air over the condenser and compressor so the heat taken out of the cabinet can escape. The description doesn't say whether the motor and blade come as one unit, so compare with your old fan and check the number on your model's parts list.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFridge warm with a hot or noisy compressor area\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fridge removes heat from inside the cabinet and gets rid of it through the condenser. On models with a condenser fan, that fan keeps air moving so the condenser can shed heat. If the fan stops, the compressor runs longer and hotter, the fridge and freezer struggle to hold temperature, and the back of the fridge can feel very hot. A failing fan can also squeal, buzz or tick as the blade catches. Dust and pet hair packed around the fan and condenser cause similar problems, so clean the area before assuming the fan has failed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Fisher \u0026amp; Paykel part 838855P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondenser fan for Fisher \u0026amp; Paykel fridges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCools the condenser and compressor area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel list not on file, match by part number\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChanging the condenser fan\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnplug the fridge at the wall and pull it out carefully so you can reach the rear cover. Vacuum the dust from the compartment first. Note how the fan is mounted and which way the blade faces, then photograph the wiring before disconnecting it. Install the new fan facing the same direction, make sure the blade spins freely, and restore power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow can I tell if my condenser fan has stopped?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the fridge running and the compressor on, the fan in the rear compartment should be spinning. If the compressor is humming but the fan is still, or the fan turns slowly or noisily, it's worth replacing. Always unplug the fridge before touching anything back there.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fisher \u0026 Paykel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44551242809422,"sku":"838855P","price":122.89,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/838855p-genuine-fisher-and-paykel-fridge-condenser-fan","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
