Condenser Fan Motor Capacitor Home Depot
A refrigerator is an aberrant thing: a box of algid air fabricated up of apparatus that use electricity (hot) to move calefaction (also hot). If you sit abutting to one on a quiet day, you can apprehend the apparatus paradoxically working—the whispery crawl of refrigerant baking in the evaporator coil. Attractive at this accurate atramentous box, you adeptness be absorbed to breach it to pieces attractive for answers. But you won't accept to, because repairclinic.com artisan Chris Zeisler helped us do it for you. He disassembled a accepted Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerator–freezer with door-front baptize and ice dispenser. He begin dozens of parts. None of which, it turns out, is decidedly mysterious.

If you appetite to accomplish a hot amplitude cold, you charge to backpack calefaction activity abroad from it. To do this, a refrigerator uses a actinic alleged a refrigerant central a breadth of closed tubing. This refrigerant absorbs calefaction from the freezer in a allocation of the tube alleged the evaporator coil. It again moves to the compressor and again to the condenser braid at the basal or aback of the refrigerator and releases that calefaction into the air.
1. Evaporator: Turns aqueous refrigerant into vapor, acceptance it to blot calefaction from the air in the freezer compartment.

["970"]2. Compressor: Compresses refrigerant vapor.
3. Condenser: Receives aeroembolism refrigerant vapor, abbreviating it into liquid, absolution its calefaction to the surrounding air.
4. Baptize filter: Removes algae from baptize for ice or algid water.
5. Water-inlet valve: Controls baptize breeze to the icemaker and chilled-water dispenser.
6. Defrost ascendancy board: Regulates the defrost aeon to cook ice that accumulates about the evaporator in the freezer.
7. Air damper: Shutters on the damper ascendancy the airflow from the freezer alcove to the fresh-food compartment.
["388"]8. Condenser fan: Blows air over the compressor and the condenser coil, cooling the compressor and accretion the coil's adeptness to absolution heat.
9. Dispenser push-button switch: Controls on/off action for dispensing ice and algid water.
10. Auger-drive motor: Powers the auger that turns ice out of the bucket, forcingit bottomward the dispenser chute.
11. Air-damper ascendancy and thermostat: The two genitalia assignment calm to ascendancy airflow from the freezer to the fresh-food compartment. The damper ascendancy (on the right) and the thermostat (on the left) acquiesce the refrigerator to acknowledge automatically to a temperature that you set manually.
12. Evaporator fan: Blows air over the evaporator coils, accretion their heat-absorbing capability.
13. Ice-crusher solenoid: An electromagnetic braid that controls the ice crusher.
["970"]14. Run capacitor: Energizes compressor-motor ambagious to accommodate a alternating alluring acreage aural the motor.
15. Baptize line: Carries baptize from the baptize valve to the icemaker in the freezer.
16. Ice-crusher plunger: Pulled in by the ice-crusher solenoid, the plunger assists in dispensing ashamed or cubed ice.
17. Defrost boiler element: A attrition boiler that melts the ice that forms from arctic abstract on the evaporator coil.

18. Water-line connector: A applicable that connects baptize curve aural the refrigerator.
["970"]19. Dispenser microswitch: Energizes or de-energizes the chilled-water or ice-dispensing circuit.
20. Crushing blade: Crushes ice.
