Maytag Refrigerator Condenser Motor
Posted by: | CommentsMaytag Refrigerator(model#MTB1955GRW) Not cooling properly, and the middle metal divider between the freezer and refrigerator doors was very hot to the touch. Whenever this happens its usually either something stuck in the condenser fan motor blade or a bad condenser fan motor.
The condenser fan motor is located in the back of the refrigerator near the compressor. So you need to pull the refrigerator out from the wall, then take off the lower back access panel. Remember always unplug the refrigerator before servicing it.

Sears Kenmore Washer
Posted by: | Comments1997 Sears Kenmore washer (model#110.26912691): Not agitating or spinning, but you can hear the motor running. Took the cabinet off, then removed the water pump and motor, then I saw the motor coupling broken, and lots of oil coming from the gearcase. I showed the customer the oil leak and they said, we have had good use from it, and its time for another new Sears Kenmore. I agreed.
Here’s the motor coupling for this model, in case others without an oil leak what to order and change it.
