LG Refrigerator Condenser Fan Motor (EAU65058502) (Replaces EAU64843805, EAU65058302)

The condenser fan motor turns the fan blade that pulls air across the condenser coils at the bottom-back of the refrigerator. This airflow carries heat away from the refrigerant as it passes through the coils, letting the compressor cool the fridge and freezer efficiently. Without it, heat builds up in the sealed system and cooling performance falls off.

Important Compatibility Note: Part number EAU65058502 is the current manufacturer-approved replacement for the following discontinued part number(s): EAU64843805, EAU65058302. If your appliance documentation or old part uses any of these numbers, this is the correct, updated component for your repair.

Common failure modes include worn motor bearings from continuous duty cycling, dust and lint buildup that overloads the windings, moisture intrusion in damp climates, and corrosion on the shaft. A failing motor may run intermittently, slow down, draw excessive current, or seize entirely.

If you are noticing any of these issues with your refrigerator, a worn condenser fan motor may be the cause:

- Refrigerator runs constantly but struggles to hold temperature

- Freezer and fresh-food sections both running warm

- Loud humming, buzzing, or clicking from the back or bottom of the unit

- Compressor area noticeably hot to the touch

- Fan blade is visible but not spinning when the compressor runs

- Frequent cycling without reaching set temperature

- Higher-than-normal energy use
