Product review (5 stars): Easy fix!!!
Bought this motor after we noticed the left side, and between the doors of our LG LSC26905TT was really hot to the touch. We pulled out the fridge to check out what was going on with the compressor fan after a youtube video suggested the fan had most likely stopped running and would either need to cleaned well or the motor would need to be replaced. All said and done it took about 40 minutes to disassemble, thoroughly clean the inside (compressor, other motor inside, fan, etc.) put in the new motor and close it all back up. Super easy! The fan casing was a little tricky to wiggle out but, no big deal for someone moderately handy. We were going to try to just clean the fan and see if that would get it running again. But, at under $30 it was worth the purchase and we opted to just put in a new motor for good measure (prime delivery on a holiday really sweetened the pot). Fan kicked on right away when the compressor engaged just as it should and was running smoothly and quietly. We decided not too push the fridge too far back to the wall to allow for proper ventilation. I think I will make it a biannual cleaning to say the least. The caked on dust and grease was pretty bad under there after just 5-6 years.
