WPW10309868 - Whirlpool Refrigerator Motor

This Whirlpool Refrigerator Motor (WPW10309868) is a genuine part designed specifically for Whirlpool refrigerators. It powers crucial components like the compressor and fans, including driving refrigerant gas compression through hermetically sealed compressor motors and rotating evaporator and condenser fan blades for efficient air circulation. Motors feature specialized windings, bearings, and housings to withstand extreme refrigerant operating environments. When motors fail, they can lead to overheating or burnouts, disrupting essential functions such as compression and air circulation. In particular, this motor also powers the auger that pushes ice cubes through the dispenser chute, a feature known as the auger motor. Symptoms of a failing motor include insufficient cooling, which causes motors to overheat or burn out, affecting the refrigerator's ability to pump, blow, and spin effectively. Before purchasing, please check your device's model number to ensure compatibility with your Whirlpool refrigerator.
