LG Refrigerator Condenser Fan Motor Replacement

简介

Use this guide to replace your condenser fan motor on your LG refrigerator.

This guide will work for most LG refrigerators. This guide is written with an LG model LFX25973 refrigerator. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same.

The condenser fan circulates air to cool the compressor and the condenser.

If it fails, your refrigerator will cool poorly or possibly not at all. It may entirely stop running. There will also likely be an Er CF code displayed on the temperature display.

This guide is rated difficult mainly because of the number of tools and somewhat unusual procedures.
