Is This the Part You Need?
The condenser fan motor draws air across the condenser coils and over the compressor to shed heat. When it fails, your refrigerator can no longer dissipate heat efficiently — the compressor runs hot, trips its thermal overload, and the fridge section warms up. Left unrepaired, a failed condenser fan will eventually kill the compressor, turning a $97 repair into a $600+ replacement. The WG03F02224 is the genuine OEM GE motor that restores proper airflow and protects your compressor.

- Compressor running hot or cycling off on thermal overload
- No fan spinning in the compressor compartment at the back of the unit
- Loud buzzing or humming from the compressor area with no airflow

Installation Notes
Skill Level: Beginner-Intermediate — requires pulling the unit from the wall and removing the rear access panel.
- Unplug the refrigerator before starting — the compressor compartment is live when running
- Pull the unit away from the wall and remove the rear lower access panel
- Note the fan blade orientation before removing — the blade must be reinstalled in the same direction on the new motor
- Disconnect the wiring harness and remove the mounting screws
- Install the new motor, reconnect the harness, and reinstall the panel
- Plug in and verify the fan spins freely and quietly within seconds of startup

💡 Pro Tip — Check the Condenser Coils While You're In There:
A failed condenser fan often runs hot for weeks before it fully stops — and during that time, the condenser coils accumulate dust and debris faster than normal. While the rear panel is off, vacuum the condenser coils thoroughly. Dirty coils reduce efficiency by up to 30% even with a new fan motor running. If the compressor is still running hot after the fan replacement, a clogged coil is the next suspect. Also inspect the fan blade for cracks or wobble — a damaged blade can cause premature motor bearing failure on the new unit.
