Product review (5 stars): Good part, fit my 8 yr old Kenmore top-freezer and was able to install it in 16 minutes.
Sorry for this first part, bit of a soapbox rant but stuff manufactured today is sub par.

I have a mid level 8 year old Kenmore refrigerator made by Whirlpool. All (as far as I know) Kenmore fridges are re-badged _________ (fill in a manufacturer here).

My fridge is 8 years old. This is the first part I have had to replace, and it's a major piece of the fridge. Without this piece it cannot pull cold air into the freezer space to keep it cold and then distribute the cold to the lower fridge space. My fridge is only 8 years old too young to have to replace a major item. I will look to a different brand besides Whirlpool and Kenmore for future refrigerator purchases.

Thanks for staying with me. This fan is a perfect fit for my fridge and am very happy with it. This part cost me 1/4 what a part was going to cost me from a service tech I called to see how much money i would save by doing the fix myself. The motor was going to cost me $120, $1.00 a mile, and between $150-200 for installation. So a high estimate for someone to do this for me is $335.

This cost me $29 and took me 16 minutes to install.......nuff said.

People review this product and say that the original part was made by a swiss company.....woopy frickin ding dong, their fan lasted 8 years in my fridge and it was a "quality" swiss part. I have a 45 year old chest freezer in my dank basement that i'm sure is costing me more money to run but it's fan is going strong and it's reliable. I tend to hang onto things that are reliable and don't piss me off.

I am going to put one of these motors on my Christmas list this year so I can have a backup to the current one and then I will have a total of $60 into my $335 fix. It'll be interesting to see if this "chinese" part outlasts any of those "quality" swiss parts still going weak (opposite strong) in my crappy Kenmore.
