EAU65058502 Genuine Condenser Fan Motor for LG Fridges GF-B730MBL GF-D706BSL GF-V706MBL

Genuine LG condenser fan motor EAU65058502 is listed for three GF series fridges, the GF-B730MBL, the GF-D706BSL and the GF-V706MBL. It drives the fan in the compressor compartment at the back of the cabinet, and a failed one is a common reason a fridge starts struggling to stay cold.

LG fridge warm or noisy at the back? Check the condenser fan

While the compressor runs, the condenser fan pulls air across the condenser coil and over the compressor to carry away the heat removed from inside the fridge. If the fan stops, that heat has nowhere to go. The compressor runs longer and hotter, the cabinet warms up, and food in both compartments may not keep as well. Other signs include ticking or grinding from behind the lower rear cover, a fan blade that won't turn freely by hand with the power off, or the back of the fridge feeling much hotter than usual. Dust packed onto the fan and coil makes things worse.

Part details

• Genuine LG condenser fan motor EAU65058502
• Moves air over the condenser and compressor
• Listed for LG GF-B730MBL, GF-D706BSL and GF-V706MBL fridges

Changing the condenser fan motor

Unplug the fridge and pull it out far enough to reach the lower rear cover. Vacuum away dust and lint around the coil and fan before you start. Note how the blade and mounting bracket sit, and if they aren't part of the new motor, move them across. Reconnect the plug, check the blade spins freely without touching the shroud, then refit the cover and plug the fridge back in.

Questions about this part

How can I tell if the condenser fan is working?

With the fridge running and the compressor on, you should feel warm air coming from the lower back and hear the fan turning. If the compressor runs but the fan stays still and the blade isn't jammed, the motor is the likely fault.
