WR60X26866 Genuine OEM GE Refrigerator Axial Evaporator Fan Motor The WR60X26866 is a Genuine OEM GE replacement axial evaporator fan motor manufactured by GE to factory specifications, designed as a direct fit for the fresh food section of select GE French door refrigerators, including the CFE28, CFE29, CWE23, CYE22, CYE23, DFE28, DFE29, GFD28, GFE26, GFE27, GFE28, GFE29, GFS26, GFS28, GNE26, GNE29, GYE22, GYS22, PFD28, PFE28, PFE29, PWE23, PYD22, PYE22, PYE23, and ZWE23 series. The evaporator fan motor pulls air through the evaporator coils to remove heat from the circulating air inside the refrigerator. Without a functioning evaporator fan, the refrigerator compartment cannot maintain its target temperature even when the compressor and condenser are running normally — the cold air generated at the evaporator simply isn't being circulated to the food storage areas. The WR60X26866 is a DC motor rated at 13.6V DC, 0.16A, with a fan housing measuring 3-4/7"L x 2"W x 3-1/8"H, plus a multi-color wire harness and plug approximately 11-1/2" long. It includes the axial fan blade and harness as a complete assembly.

Wear work gloves to protect your hands. The evaporator fan motor for the fresh food section is mounted on the back wall of the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment, behind an access panel. Take a photo of the existing fan position and wire harness routing before disconnecting. Remove the shelves and any internal components blocking access to the back wall, then remove the screws holding the rear access panel in place. Disconnect the fan motor's wire harness connector and remove the mounting screws securing the old motor. Note the fan blade orientation on the motor shaft. Install the new WR60X26866 motor assembly in the same position with the blade facing the same direction, reconnect the wiring harness, and reinstall the mounting screws and access panel. Replace the shelves and other internal components, restore power, and confirm the fan spins and the refrigerator cools properly. Allow several hours for the refrigerator to return to its set temperature before reloading with food. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions My fridge is warm but my freezer is cold — is the evaporator fan motor the problem? Yes — this is one of the most recognizable symptoms of evaporator fan motor failure on GE French door refrigerators with a separate fresh food evaporator. The freezer side has its own cooling circuit and remains cold, while the fresh food side relies on this fan to circulate air across its evaporator coils. When the fan fails, the freezer continues working but the fresh food compartment loses its cold air supply, warming up while the freezer stays at temperature. If you also notice frost building up on the evaporator coils behind the back panel of the fresh food compartment, the fan failure is confirmed. What is the software update requirement for May 2014 – March 2015 refrigerators? GE issued a software update for certain refrigerators manufactured between May 2014 and March 2015 (serial range FF–HD) before they could properly support newer revisions of the WR60X26866 evaporator fan motor. If your refrigerator falls in this date and serial range, the control software must be updated before installing this fan motor — either by GE factory service or by using the Software Update Module part WR98R882802. Installing the new fan on an unupdated unit can result in improper performance. Check the serial number plate inside your refrigerator (typically on the left side wall) to confirm whether your unit is affected. Refrigerators built outside this range do not require the update. How do I test if the evaporator fan motor has failed? Unplug the refrigerator, then access the fan behind the rear panel of the fresh food compartment. First, try turning the fan blade by hand — if it doesn't spin freely, is stiff, or seizes, the motor bearing has failed. Next, listen during normal operation — if the motor is unusually noisy or makes a grinding sound, the bearings are worn even if it still spins. Finally, with the unit unplugged and the motor disconnected, use a multimeter on the motor windings to check for continuity. If the windings show no continuity, the motor has failed electrically. Also check for approximately 11–14V DC at the connector when the refrigerator is running — if voltage is present but the motor doesn't spin, the motor has failed. My fridge has two evaporator fans — which one does this replace? Some GE French door refrigerators have separate evaporator fan motors for the freezer and the fresh food sections. The WR60X26866 is the fresh food evaporator fan motor — it's the axial fan located behind the rear panel of the fresh food compartment, not in the freezer. If your symptom is "freezer cold, fridge warm," this is the correct part. If your symptom is "freezer warm" or "ice maker not making ice but fridge is fine," the freezer evaporator fan motor (a different part number) is more likely the cause. Confirm which compartment has the cooling problem before ordering. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by GE to factory specifications. It is the exact same axial evaporator fan motor installed in compatible GE, GE Café, and GE Profile French door refrigerators from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

Open the refrigerator door and locate the light bulb socket — it is typically behind a plastic light cover or lens on the interior ceiling or side wall of the fresh food section. Remove the plastic light cover if present (it usually snaps off or slides forward). Turn the old bulb counter-clockwise to unscrew and remove it. Screw the new 5304511738 LED bulb in clockwise until snug — do not overtighten. Replace the light cover, restore power, and open the door to confirm the light works. Frequently Asked Questions Will this LED bulb work as a direct replacement for the original incandescent bulb? Yes — the 5304511738 LED bulb uses the same E26/E27 screw base as the original incandescent refrigerator bulb and draws from the same 120V socket. It screws in exactly like the original and produces bright white light. The LED version uses only 3.5W compared to the typical 25W–40W of an incandescent refrigerator bulb, which means lower energy use and significantly less heat generated inside the refrigerator cabinet — both of which are improvements over the original. My refrigerator has two light sockets — do I need two bulbs? Yes — if your refrigerator has two light sockets (one for the fresh food section and one for the freezer, or two in the fresh food section), you will need two bulbs. This listing is for a single bulb. Order two to replace both sockets at the same time — replacing both ensures even light output and prevents being left without light shortly after when the second older bulb burns out. What are the KEI D34L, KEID34L, and KEL3418L designations? KEI D34L, KEID34L, and KEL3418L are model designations printed on the original Frigidaire refrigerator LED bulb or its housing — they are not traditional part numbers but are used by some parts databases as cross-references for the 5304511738. If you see any of these designations on your old bulb or in your refrigerator's parts list, the 5304511738 is the correct replacement. My refrigerator light doesn't work but the new bulb also doesn't light up — what else could it be? If the new bulb does not light up after installation, the bulb is likely not the cause of the problem. Other possible causes include a failed door switch (the switch that tells the refrigerator the door is open and turns on the light), a wiring issue in the light circuit, or a failed control board relay that supplies power to the light socket. Test the door switch by pressing and releasing it manually — if the light activates when you press it and turns off when you release it, the switch is working and the issue is elsewhere in the circuit. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Frigidaire OEM part, but is manufactured with 24 LED elements in an E26/E27 base to match the light output and fit of the original 5304511738 refrigerator LED bulb.

XPARTCO WR60X10185 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor The XPARTCO WR60X10185 is an aftermarket replacement evaporator fan motor located in the freezer compartment, for GE, Hotpoint, and select Kenmore, Haier, Monogram, and Café refrigerators. This motor pulls air across the evaporator coils to strip heat from it, then circulates that cold air through the freezer and, via ducting, to the fresh food compartment. This particular motor does not include a thermistor — it ships as a fan motor with a 4-wire harness on a 6-pin connector, with two of those six pin slots left empty. If your refrigerator's original connector has a white thermistor wire in it, or a separate connector for a freezer light, this is not the correct motor for your unit. Rated 9.75V DC, 3.25W. A fan motor generally has a long service life, but it can burn out quickly if debris or ice buildup obstructs the blade and forces the motor to work against resistance it wasn't designed for. Common symptoms of a failing motor include unusual noise from the freezer, a fresh food compartment that's warmer than it should be while the freezer stays reasonably cold, frost or ice accumulating around the fan or coil, and a refrigerator that runs constantly trying to compensate for lost circulation. It directly replaces AP3875639, 1170107, 197D2039P007, 197D2039P008, PS1019114, EAP1019114, WR23X10346, WR23X10350, WR23X10353, WR23X10355, WR23X10364, WR23X10404, WR23X10405, WR23X10406, WR60X10043, WR60X10059, WR60X10068, WR60X10083, WR60X10084, WR60X10099, WR60X10149, WR60X10152, WR60X10154, and WR60X10157.

Note — check your connector before ordering: GE uses several different evaporator fan motor variants that look nearly identical, and choosing the wrong one means the connector or function won't match your refrigerator. This WR60X10185 motor has no thermistor and a plain 4-wire harness with 2 empty slots on its 6-pin connector. If your old motor's connector has a white thermistor wire in it, you need WR60X10074 instead (harness with integrated thermistor). If your old connector instead has a dedicated light connector, you need WR23X10467. This part is also a separate motor from our WR60X10318 listing, which is a side-by-side platform assembly with its own integrated thermistor and a longer harness. Always verify your full model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure which motor fits your refrigerator.

Wear work gloves. Before removing the old motor, look closely at its connector: confirm it's a plain 4-wire harness with no thermistor wire and no separate light connector, matching this replacement. Access is through the freezer's rear interior panel: remove shelving and bins as needed, then remove the screws securing the back panel to expose the evaporator coil and fan assembly. If there's significant frost or ice around the fan or coil, let the unit sit unplugged with the door open for a few hours, or run a manual defrost, before continuing. Photograph the wiring harness connector and the fan blade's orientation before disconnecting anything. Unplug the motor's wiring harness connector, remove the mounting screws or clips holding the motor bracket in place, and pull the motor and fan blade assembly free. Transfer the fan blade to the new motor if a blade isn't included, matching the original orientation. Mount the new WR60X10185 in the same position, reconnect the wiring harness connector fully, and confirm the blade spins freely by hand without contacting the housing before reassembling the back panel. Restore power and monitor both compartments over the next 24 hours to confirm even, consistent cooling has returned. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions How do I know if I need this motor or the one with the thermistor? Look directly at your old motor's electrical connector before ordering. This WR60X10185 motor has a plain 4-wire harness on a 6-pin plug, with two of the six pin positions left empty — there's no thermistor wire involved. If your connector instead has a white thermistor wire running into it, you'll need WR60X10074, which includes an integrated thermistor and is not interchangeable with this motor. If your connector has a separate plug specifically for a freezer light, you'll need WR23X10467 instead. My fresh food section is warm but the freezer seems fine. Is this the right part? Yes, this is a very common and telling symptom pattern. The freezer sits right next to the evaporator coil and can stay reasonably cold through proximity even with weakening air circulation, but the fresh food compartment depends entirely on the fan pushing cold air through the ducting to reach it. When the fan motor fails or slows down, the fresh food side is usually the first and most noticeably affected area, and GE's own guidance confirms that a fresh-food-warm/freezer-fine pattern points to this fan. Why would a fan motor "burn out quickly" instead of just wearing out slowly? While this motor generally has a long service life, it can fail rapidly if something obstructs the fan blade from turning — commonly built-up frost or ice, or occasionally debris. When the blade can't turn freely, the motor works against resistance it wasn't designed for, which accelerates internal wear and can burn it out much faster than normal aging would. Clearing ice from around the fan before or during replacement helps prevent stressing the new motor the same way. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured to match the original 9.75V, 3.25W motor design, blade fitment, and 4-wire harness configuration of the fan motor originally installed in your refrigerator.

XPARTCO EAU65058313 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor The XPARTCO EAU65058313 is an aftermarket replacement evaporator fan motor assembly for LG bottom-freezer and top-mount refrigerators, and also fits select Kenmore refrigerators built on the LG platform. This motor circulates cold air across the evaporator coil and distributes it throughout the freezer and fresh food compartments, keeping temperatures even and helping prevent frost buildup on the coil itself. Rated 12V DC, 1A, with a 4-wire 4-pin connector. The motor's center shaft measures approximately 1.77" (45mm) long with a 0.12" (3.15mm) diameter, and the wire lead runs approximately 16.2" (41cm). Common failure causes include worn motor bearings, dust or debris buildup restricting the blade, and general wear in the motor winding over many operating hours. A failing motor produces a specific and telling symptom pattern: the freezer may stay reasonably cold while the fresh food section runs warm, since the fresh food compartment depends entirely on this fan to receive circulated cold air. Other symptoms include a noisy or loud fridge, or a fan that has become inactive altogether. It directly replaces EAU63103001, ODM-056F-13, AP7178307, OEM28713230, PS16662420, and EAP16662420.

Frequently Asked Questions My freezer is cold but the fridge section is warm. Is this the right part? Yes, this is a very common and telling symptom pattern. The freezer sits close to the evaporator coil and can stay reasonably cold through proximity even with weakening air circulation, but the fresh food compartment depends entirely on this fan pushing cold air through the ducting to reach it. When the fan motor fails or slows down, the fresh food side is usually the first and most noticeably affected area. How is this different from your EAU63103201 listing? They are separate motors built for different LG model groups, even though the part numbers look similar at a glance. This EAU65058313 motor has a shorter 45mm shaft and a 41cm wire lead, while our EAU63103201 listing has a longer 60mm shaft and a 56cm wire lead. Always check your full model number, or measure your old motor's shaft and wire length, before ordering either one. My fridge is noisy but still seems to be cooling. Should I still replace the fan? Noise from a struggling motor often precedes a full failure, so it's worth investigating rather than waiting. A motor with worn bearings can still turn and move some air while making noise, but that noise typically indicates the bearings are on their way out. Check whether the fan blade spins freely and smoothly by hand — if it wobbles, binds, or grinds, replacing the motor now can prevent a complete cooling failure later. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine LG OEM part, but is manufactured to match the electrical specifications (12V DC, 1A, 4-pin connector), shaft dimensions, and mounting configuration of the original EAU65058313 evaporator fan motor used in compatible LG and Kenmore refrigerators.

XPARTCO 5303918214 Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat The XPARTCO 5303918214 is an aftermarket replacement defrost thermostat kit for Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Crosley refrigerators — commonly used on side-by-side and French door models equipped with an ice maker. This thermostat monitors the temperature of the evaporator coils: when the coils drop below a set temperature, it allows power to reach the defrost heater so frost can be cleared; once the coils warm back up, it cuts power to the heater again, protecting the evaporator from being overheated during that process. The most common reasons this thermostat gets replaced are a classic pair of symptoms: the freezer stays cold while the fresh food refrigerator section runs warm, or the refrigerator simply isn't defrosting on its normal cycle. Because this thermostat sits behind the rear access panel near the ice maker on many compatible models, replacing it typically involves removing the ice maker and the back panel to reach it — a more involved repair than a thermostat mounted in an easily accessible spot. It directly replaces AP2150145, 892545, AH469522, EA469522, PS469522, and 75303918214. Quick Answer The XPARTCO 5303918214 Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat fixes Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Crosley refrigerators where the freezer stays cold but the fresh food section runs warm, or the refrigerator isn't defrosting on its normal cycle. Replaces AP2150145, 892545, AH469522, EA469522, PS469522, 75303918214. This is a separate part from our 5303918202 defrost thermostat listing — the two fit different model groups and are not interchangeable. Installation on many compatible models requires removing the ice maker to access the thermostat. Common Problems This Part Fixes Freezer stays cold but the fresh food refrigerator section runs warm Refrigerator not defrosting on its normal cycle Excessive frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coils Refrigerator or freezer not cooling properly overall Water leaking inside the refrigerator from melting ice buildup Refrigerator running constantly as ice-caked coils reduce cooling efficiency Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models.

Wear work gloves. If your model has an ice maker, remove it first using a screwdriver to gain clearance for the next steps. Remove the back panel with a screwdriver to expose the defrost thermostat. Take out the existing thermostat and disconnect its wiring, labeling or photographing each connection first. Install the new 5303918214 thermostat by connecting the wires according to the wiring diagram provided with the kit, then secure the thermostat to the main housing using the small mounting screws. Reinstall the back panel, plug the refrigerator back in, turn the water supply back on, and reinstall the ice maker. Test the refrigerator over the following day to confirm both compartments are cooling evenly and the defrost cycle is running normally. Tools needed: screwdriver, wire cutters/strippers, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions Do I really need to remove the ice maker for this repair? On many compatible models, yes — the thermostat sits behind the rear access panel in an area that the ice maker partially blocks, so removing it first gives you the clearance needed to reach the panel and the thermostat behind it. It's an extra step compared to some simpler defrost thermostat replacements, but it's a standard part of this particular repair. My freezer is cold but the fridge is warm. Is this the thermostat? Yes, this is the classic symptom of a failed defrost thermostat. When it fails, the defrost heater can't run correctly to clear frost from the evaporator coil, and the resulting ice buildup blocks the airflow that's supposed to carry cold air to the fresh food compartment. The freezer, sitting closer to the coil, often stays reasonably cold, while the fresh food side runs warm since it depends on that circulated air. I replaced the thermostat but my freezer temperature is still fluctuating. What should I check next? Replacing this thermostat resolves the issue for most customers, but if fluctuation continues, it's worth checking the other components in the same defrost circuit — the defrost timer and defrost heater — since a failure in either of those can produce similar temperature instability even with a good thermostat installed. It's also worth confirming the door seals are sealing properly, since a poor seal lets warm air in and can cause temperature swings unrelated to the defrost system. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Frigidaire OEM part, but is manufactured to match the temperature threshold, mounting configuration, and function of the original 5303918214 defrost thermostat used in compatible Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Crosley refrigerators.
