GE APE08AKM1 Cooling Fan Motor
The compressor fan motor is in charge of cooling the outdoor compressor, this is needed because of the heat energy has to be dispelled into the air. It can be replaced as a whole unit with the blade or by itself, which this can make the installation go smoother and make it a probable DIY project. Be sure you find one with the exact voltage and the precise amperage as it is on the bad motor.
