EAU65058501 Refrigerator Condenser Fan Motor for LG Fridge, 12V DC Freezer Cooling Fan Motor Replacement, Fixes Not Cooling & Noisy Compressor

Is your LG refrigerator not cooling properly, running constantly, or making loud grinding noises from the back? The problem is likely a failed condenser fan motor. This small but critical component pulls hot air away from the compressor and condenser coils, allowing your fridge to maintain proper temperatures. When it fails, your refrigerator struggles to cool, the compressor overworks (leading to premature failure), and food spoils.

Appliance repair companies charge $200$400 (parts + labor + service call) to replace this motor. With the EAU65058501 Condenser Fan Motor, you can fix it yourself in 3040 minutes for a fraction of the cost.

The condenser fan motor sits in the machine compartment at the back or bottom of your LG refrigerator. Its job is critical to the cooling cycle:

1. Heat removal As refrigerant passes through the condenser coils, it releases heat. The condenser fan blows air across these coils to dissipate the heat efficiently.
2. Compressor cooling The fan also cools the compressor motor, preventing overheating during continuous operation.
3. Air circulation Proper airflow through the machine compartment keeps all cooling system components operating at optimal temperatures.

When the condenser fan motor fails:

1. The compressor area gets extremely hot
2. Cooling performance drops fresh food section warms up, freezer doesn't maintain temperature
3. The compressor runs constantly trying to compensate, wasting electricity and shortening its lifespan
4. You hear grinding, buzzing, rattling, or squealing sounds from the back of the fridge
5. The fridge may shut down completely if the compressor overheats

A fresh condenser fan motor restores proper cooling efficiency, protects the compressor, and eliminates noise often for another 510 years of reliable refrigerator operation.

This is a direct replacement for LG original equipment part number:

To verify compatibility: Check the model number printed on the label inside your fridge (usually on the left or right wall, or inside the door). Compare your existing condenser fan motor part number with EAU65058501. If they match, this motor will work.

You can also search your refrigerator model number on LG's parts website or cross-reference with the part number printed on your old motor.

You don't need to be a professional appliance technician to replace this condenser fan motor. With basic hand tools (screwdriver, socket wrench, needle-nose pliers) and a YouTube tutorial, most homeowners complete the replacement in 3040 minutes.

General installation steps:

1. Unplug the refrigerator from the wall outlet (safety first never work on a plugged-in appliance)
2. Access the machine compartment Usually accessed by removing a rear or bottom access panel (varies by model)
3. Locate the condenser fan motor It's mounted near the compressor and condenser coils, usually on a bracket
4. Disconnect the wiring harness Squeeze the connector tab and pull gently to separate
5. Remove mounting screws Usually 24 screws securing the motor bracket
6. Remove the fan blade Some models require removing a retaining clip or screw to detach the blade from the old motor shaft
7. Install the new motor Mount it in the same position, attach the fan blade, secure with screws
8. Reconnect the wiring harness Plug connects with a firm click
9. Reassemble the access panel
10. Plug the fridge back in The fan should start spinning within a few minutes as the compressor cycles on

Pro tip: Take photos with your phone as you disassemble so you can reference wire colors and screw locations during reassembly.
