The door gaskets on my fridge have been hot the past few days. Was hoping it would go away on its own. Troubleshot it down to the condenser fan motor is broken. No one sells the motor. Checked ebay, online parts sellers, and local parts sellers. Nothing. It's a discontinued part and no one has one. Called my local appliance stores for a replacement fridge and each store had only one fridge in stock in the configuration and price range that the wife and I are looking for. I have a fan blowing on the back of the fridge now to keep things cool until the new fridge arrives. The old fridge is an almost 20 years old Maytag with a Whirlpool fan motor made by Panasonic. Thought for $100 for a new motor I'd be back in business but alas, not to be. The new GE fridge will be delivered on Tuesday.
The motor is sealed up and there doesn't appear anyway to disassemble it for repairs. The old fridge served me well.
