# How to Change the Fan Engine in a Viking Refrigerator
Like all refrigerators, your Viking refrigerator is powered by a condenser. This is the motor, or engine, of the refrigerator. This condenser needs to stay cool, or else it can fail. It stays cool via a fan, which is mounted next to the condenser. If your refrigerator isn't staying cool, it could be the result of a damaged fan. You can remove and replace the fan on your own.
