This assembly includes both the motor and the fan blade together, and it lives in the compressor\/machine compartment at the back or bottom of the refrigerator, where its job is to pull air across the condenser coils and compressor to carry heat away from the refrigeration system. That's a different job from an evaporator fan — this motor cools the mechanical side of the system rather than circulating cold air to your food, so a failing condenser fan tends to affect the whole refrigerator's cooling capacity rather than just one compartment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRated 12V DC, 0.14A, 1.7W, running at approximately 1,120 RPM. On many Samsung models, a failed condenser fan motor triggers a 23C or 23E error code on the display, alongside symptoms like noticeable vibration or noise from the condenser area, elevated internal temperatures, or the over-temperature alarm sensor tripping. Common causes include normal wear on the motor bearings after prolonged use, blockages from dust and debris accumulation around the coils, or damage from moisture exposure. A fan blade that tries to spin but can't complete a full revolution, or that needs a manual nudge to keep turning, is a classic sign this assembly has started to fail. It directly replaces DA97-15765A, DA97-12842A, DA97-12842B, DA97-12842D, DA97-15765D, AP6001015, PS11733650, EAP11733650, DA31-00340A, RMF002ASSA, and 4959328.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-qa\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-qa-label\"\u003eQuick Answer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eXPARTCO DA97-15765C Refrigerator Condenser Fan Motor\u003c\/strong\u003e fixes Samsung French door refrigerators where the whole unit runs warm, the compressor area is noisy or vibrating, a 23C or 23E error code appears, or the over-temperature alarm trips.

Wear work gloves. Remove all shelves from the upper refrigerator cabinet to improve access. Using a flat-blade screwdriver, gently ease the back panel away from the cabinet — on many models it's retained by a cam bracket and snaps into place, so it should release without excessive force. This exposes the condenser\/circulating fan. Before condemning the motor, clear away any dust, lint, or debris built up around the condenser coils and fan blade — restricted airflow from a dirty coil produces symptoms similar to a failing motor and costs nothing to rule out. Photograph the wiring harness connector and the fan blade's position before disconnecting anything. Remove the two screws holding the fan in place, unplug the fan lead harness connector, and remove the defective fan assembly. Install the new DA97-15765C in the same position, reconnect the harness plug, and reinstall and tighten the two mounting screws securely. Confirm the blade spins freely by hand without contacting the housing or coils before reinstalling the back panel — it should snap back into place via the cam bracket. Reinstall the shelves, restore power, and monitor the refrigerator over the next 24 hours to confirm normal, even cooling has returned and any error code has cleared. Tools needed: flat-blade screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-q\"\u003eMy display shows a 23C or 23E error code.

If the error persists after cleaning, or if the fan blade doesn't spin freely by hand, this assembly is the likely fix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-q\"\u003eThe fan blade tries to spin but won't complete a full turn.

A healthy condenser fan should spin freely and continuously once started.
