Introduzione

Use this guide to replace your condenser fan motor on your LG model LFX25973 refrigerator.

The condenser fan circulates air to cool the compressor and the condenser.

If it fails, your refrigerator will cool poorly or possibly not at all. It may entirely stop running. There will also likely be an Er CF code displayed on the temperature display at the ice and water dispenser.

This guide is rated difficult mainly because of the number of tools and somewhat unusual procedures.
