OE WR60X10220 Refrigerator Condenser Fan Motor
The OE WR60X10220 is an Original Equipment condenser fan motor for GE-built refrigerators, sourced from the same original manufacturer that supplies this motor for genuine GE production, and shipped in XPARTCO packaging rather than GE retail packaging. The condenser fan motor pulls air across the condenser coils and compressor to dissipate heat, and on many models it also helps evaporate condensate that collects in the drain pan below the compressor. When this motor fails or weakens, the compressor and coils can't shed heat properly, leading to a refrigerator that runs constantly, doesn't cool adequately, or develops a squealing/screeching noise as the motor bearings wear.
It directly replaces WR60X10220, WR60X10133, WR60X10171, WR60X10192, 197D1871P026, IS-2321GEN, AH1766247, EA1766247, EAP1766247, AP4298602, AGE29216, PD00001198, PS1766247, SM10220. Located in the rear compressor compartment behind the refrigerator's rear access panel. Installs in 30–60 minutes with basic hand tools.

Replaces WR60X10220, WR60X10133, WR60X10171, WR60X10192, 197D1871P026, IS-2321GEN, AH1766247, EA1766247, EAP1766247, AP4298602, AGE29216, PD00001198, PS1766247, SM10220. Classic symptom: loud squealing or screeching noise coming from behind the fridge.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
- Refrigerator runs constantly and doesn't cycle off normally
- Fridge or freezer not cooling adequately or running warm
- Loud squealing, screeching, or grinding noise from the rear compressor compartment
- Compressor overheating or shutting off on thermal protection
- Water pooling under the refrigerator from an overwhelmed drain pan
- Condenser fan blade not spinning, or spinning slowly/intermittently
What Is an OE Part?
OE ("Original Equipment") parts are sourced from the same original manufacturer that supplies the component for genuine factory production — not a different aftermarket maker. The difference from a "Genuine OEM" listing is packaging: an OE part ships in XPARTCO packaging instead of the appliance brand's retail box, at a lower cost, while the part itself comes off the same production line. OE is a separate designation from our XPARTCO aftermarket brand and is never labeled with an XPARTCO prefix.
Cross Reference Information
Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models. For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item.
Replaces Part Numbers
This condenser fan motor directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers:
WR60X10220, WR60X10133, WR60X10171, WR60X10192, 197D1871P026, IS-2321GEN, AH1766247, EA1766247, EAP1766247, AP4298602, AGE29216, PD00001198, PS1766247, SM10220
If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility.
Compatibility
This condenser fan motor is compatible with a wide range of GE-built refrigerators from the following brands:
- GE refrigerators (including GSL22JFPDBS-BS, GSS25WGPHBB, GSL25JFPHBS, and related side-by-side and bottom-freezer models)
- Hotpoint refrigerators (GE-built models, including HSM25GFRFSA)
- RCA refrigerators (GE-built models)
- Kenmore refrigerators (select GE-built models)
Note: This motor is used across a large number of GE-platform refrigerator models. Always verify your appliance model number before ordering, since evaporator fan motors and condenser fan motors are different components that are easy to confuse — an evaporator fan sits inside the freezer compartment, while this condenser fan sits in the rear compressor compartment.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting Disconnect power before beginning. Pull the refrigerator away from the wall and remove the rear access panel over the compressor compartment (typically several screws around the perimeter). Locate the condenser fan motor and blade near the compressor. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting. Unplug the motor's wiring harness connector. Remove the mounting screws or bracket clip holding the motor in place, and note the orientation of the fan blade on the motor shaft before removing it — the blade must be reinstalled facing the same direction to move air correctly. Transfer the fan blade to the new WR60X10220 motor, or install the blade included with your kit in the same orientation. Mount the new motor in the same position and secure it. Reconnect the wiring harness, matching your photos. Reinstall the rear access panel, restore power, and confirm the fan spins freely and the compressor area cools down normally after running. Tools needed: nut driver or screwdriver, needle-nose pliers (for wiring connectors).
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between this OE part and a "Genuine OEM" listing?
Both come from the same original manufacturer as factory production — the difference is packaging and price. A Genuine OEM listing ships in the appliance brand's own retail box; this OE part ships in XPARTCO packaging at a lower cost, with no difference in the motor itself.
My fridge is making a loud squealing noise — is this the part I need?
Very likely, yes. A squealing or screeching noise from behind the refrigerator, especially one that gets louder over time, is one of the most common symptoms of a failing condenser fan motor as its bearings wear out. Pull the unit out and listen near the rear compressor compartment to confirm the noise is coming from that area before ordering.
Is this the same as an evaporator fan motor?
No — these are different components serving different purposes, and it's easy to order the wrong one. The evaporator fan motor is inside the freezer compartment and circulates cold air through the fridge and freezer. This condenser fan motor is in the rear compressor compartment and cools the compressor and condenser coils. Confirm which one your model uses based on symptoms and location before ordering.
Do I need to transfer the fan blade from my old motor?
On many models, yes — the fan blade is a separate component that mounts onto the motor shaft, and you'll transfer it from the old motor to the new one, noting its orientation first. Some kits include a new blade; check what's included with your specific motor before starting the repair.
