WR60X10185 Genuine OEM GE Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
The WR60X10185 is a genuine GE OEM 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.

Compatibility
This evaporator fan motor is compatible with select GE and Hotpoint refrigerators, and also fits select Kenmore, Haier, Monogram, and Café refrigerators built on the GE platform.
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.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Check Your Connector Type First Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning, and move perishable food to a cooler for the duration of the repair. 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 a genuine OEM part, manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original 9.75V, 3.25W motor design, blade fitment, and 4-wire harness configuration of the fan motor originally installed in your refrigerator.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Clear Any Frost Or Ice From The Fan Area Unplug the refrigerator and safely store any food that could spoil while the power is off. Wear work gloves. Locate the evaporator fan motor in the freezer compartment, typically behind an interior panel covering the evaporator coil assembly. If there's noticeable frost or ice buildup around the fan or coil, allow it to fully defrost before continuing — restricted airflow from ice is a common contributor to fan motor strain and noise. Remove the panel to access the fan motor, then disconnect the wiring harness from the old motor. Remove the mounting screws or clips securing the old motor and pull it free, along with the fan blade if it doesn't transfer separately. Install the new WR60X25858 in the same position, reconnect the wiring harness fully, and secure the mounting hardware. Reinstall the interior panel. While you're in this area, vacuuming out any accessible condenser coils is a good complementary maintenance step. Restore power and monitor the freezer's temperature over the next 24 hours to confirm normal, quiet operation and consistent cooling. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My freezer isn't cold anymore. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is one of the most common causes of a freezer that won't cool. One customer specifically reached out after their freezer wasn't cold, watched a diagnostic video explaining the evaporator fan's role, and confirmed this motor was the cause before ordering the replacement.
I hear a strange noise from inside my freezer. Could this be the fan motor?
Yes, this is a well-documented symptom. Noise often occurs when the fan motor itself is wearing out, or when frost or ice has built up enough to rub against the spinning fan blade. Clearing any ice buildup before replacing the motor helps you confirm whether the noise was from ice contact or the motor itself.
Should I do anything else while I have the freezer open for this repair?
It's a good opportunity to check for and clear any frost or ice buildup around the fan and coil area, since restricted airflow can contribute to fan strain. One customer also vacuumed out the condenser coils during the same repair, which is a reasonable companion maintenance step while everything is accessible.
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 motor design, voltage, and connection type of the original WR60X25858 evaporator fan motor used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, Café, Profile, and Kenmore refrigerators.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator and Shut Off Water Before Starting Unplug the refrigerator and shut off the water supply before beginning. Remove all food and shelving from the freezer compartment. On most compatible models, the evaporator fan is located behind the freezer back panel. Remove the screws securing the freezer back panel and carefully slide it out to expose the evaporator coils and fan assembly. If ice has built up on the fan or coils, use a hair dryer to melt it before attempting to remove the fan — do not force a frozen fan free. Disconnect the 2-pin wire connector from the old motor. Remove the fan blade by pulling it straight off the motor shaft, then unscrew the motor mounting brackets and remove the old motor. Install the new W10464673 motor in the same position, secure the mounting brackets, press the fan blade back onto the shaft, and reconnect the 2-pin connector. Reinstall the freezer back panel, restore power and water, and verify the fan runs when the compressor starts. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, hair dryer (if coils are iced), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the evaporator fan motor do?
The evaporator fan motor drives a fan blade inside the freezer compartment that draws air across the evaporator coils — the cold coils remove heat from the air, and the fan distributes the chilled air throughout both the freezer and fresh food sections via a duct system. Without the evaporator fan running, the evaporator coils still get cold and the compressor still runs, but no cold air is circulated. This causes both compartments to gradually warm up even though the refrigeration system itself may be functioning correctly. A failed evaporator fan motor is one of the most common and most frequently misdiagnosed causes of poor refrigerator cooling.
How do I know if the evaporator fan motor has failed?
Open the freezer door and press the door switch (the small button or tab that tells the refrigerator the door is closed) — this should start the evaporator fan if the compressor is running. If you hear no fan noise and feel no airflow from inside the freezer with the compressor running, the fan motor has likely failed. You can also remove the freezer back panel and physically check whether the fan blade spins freely by hand — if it is stuck or wobbles, inspect for ice buildup or a seized motor bearing. If the blade spins freely but the motor does not run when powered, the motor has burned out.
What is the difference between W10464673 and WPW10464673?
These are the same evaporator fan motor. WPW10464673 is the updated Whirlpool OEM part number that superseded the original W10464673. The 3020513 is also a cross-reference for this same motor. This aftermarket replacement is compatible with all of these numbers.
My freezer is cold but my fridge is warm — could it be the evaporator fan?
Yes — this is a classic evaporator fan failure symptom. When the fan motor fails partially, the freezer may still receive some cold air passively from the evaporator, but not enough air is circulated to reach the fresh food section through the duct system. A failed evaporator fan is frequently the cause of this hot-fridge-cold-freezer pattern. Check the fan as described above — if it is not spinning, replacing the W10464673 motor will restore cooling to both compartments.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured from ABS plastic and metal to match the electrical specifications and shaft dimensions of the original W10464673 evaporator fan motor.

The evaporator fan motor is the "heart" of the refrigerator's cooling cycle — it pulls air across the cold evaporator coils in the freezer section and circulates it throughout the freezer and fresh food compartments. This constant airflow is what keeps temperatures even and food fresh. When the fan motor fails, cooling efficiency drops, compartments run warm, frost can build up on the coils, and the ice maker may stop working properly.
This is an axial evaporator fan and motor assembly with a 3-wire harness. Electrical specs: 12V DC, 0.16A. Frame dimensions: 3-5/8"L x 1-3/4"W x 3-5/8"H, with the harness and plug extending 10-3/4" from the frame. Black with a multi-colored harness, plastic and metal construction. It directly replaces DA31-00287A, U92C12MS1B3-52, 3612JL-04W-S49, 3967908, AP5914786, EAP9603956, PD00031112, and PS9603956. Important: Samsung uses several different evaporator fan motors across its refrigerator lineup with different connectors and voltages — always match your old motor's part number and connector before ordering. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator and Move Perishable Food Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves — Match the Connector Unplug the refrigerator and safely store any food that could spoil while the power is off. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. The evaporator fan motor is located in the freezer section behind the rear access panel. Remove all freezer shelves, drawers, and the ice maker (if equipped) to clear access to the back wall. If there's frost or ice buildup on the rear panel or coils, allow the freezer to thaw completely before continuing — never chip or pry ice off the evaporator coils, as the aluminum fins damage easily. Remove the screws securing the rear evaporator access panel and lift it away to expose the fan motor. Photograph the wiring harness connection and fan motor orientation before disconnecting anything. Before installing, compare the new motor's connector and part number to your old one — they must match. Disconnect the wiring harness by gently pulling the plug, and remove the two mounting screws holding the fan motor assembly in place. Remove the old motor. Install the new DA81-06013A in the same position and orientation, secure with the two mounting screws, and reconnect the wiring harness by firmly pushing the plug in until it seats. Confirm the fan blade spins freely by hand without rubbing on any surrounding surface. Reinstall the rear access panel, shelves, drawers, and ice maker. Plug the refrigerator back in and allow several hours for the unit to return to its set temperature before reloading with food. No software or firmware update is required. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver (or electric screwdriver), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my evaporator fan motor has failed?
The most common signs are a refrigerator or freezer that's too warm despite the compressor running, poor or uneven cooling, and frost building up on the evaporator coils because air isn't being circulated. You may also hear unusual noise (grinding, squealing, or clicking) from the freezer compartment as the motor bearings fail or the blade rubs on accumulated frost. To confirm: with the refrigerator running, open the freezer and listen/look for the fan behind the rear panel — if it's not spinning while the compressor runs, or it's making noise, the motor has likely failed. You can also test the motor with a 12V DC power source; a working motor will spin when powered.
Samsung has several similar-looking fan motors — how do I know this is the right one?
This is the critical thing to get right. Samsung uses several different evaporator fan motors across its refrigerator lineup, and while they look similar, they differ in voltage and connector style and are NOT interchangeable. The DA81-06013A is a 12V DC motor with a 3-wire harness, used across the RF18/RF22/RF23/RF24/RF25/RF26/RF28/RF30/RF34 French door and bottom-mount series. A different motor — such as the BLDC DA31-00342A used in some RS-series side-by-side models — has a different connector and won't work here. Before ordering, find the part number printed on your old motor, or match your refrigerator's model number against the compatibility list. When in doubt, send us your model number and we'll confirm.
Do I need to update any software or firmware after installing this?
No — this is a simple mechanical fan motor with no electronics that require programming. Unlike some Samsung refrigerator control boards or main PCBs, the evaporator fan motor is a direct drop-in replacement: disconnect the old one, connect the new one, and it works immediately. There's no pairing, calibration, or firmware update needed. Just make sure the connector matches and the fan blade spins freely after installation.
Should I defrost the freezer before installing this?
If there's frost or ice buildup on the rear freezer panel or evaporator coils, yes — clear it before installing the new motor. Leave the freezer empty and unplugged with the door open for several hours (longer for heavy ice) to let everything thaw naturally, with towels at the base to catch melt water. Never chip or pry ice off the evaporator coils with a tool — the aluminum fins are delicate and a damaged coil is a far more expensive repair. If heavy frost keeps returning after the fan motor is replaced, the defrost system (defrost heater, sensor, or control) should be investigated as a secondary issue.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is manufactured to match the electrical specifications (12V DC, 0.16A), 3-wire harness, connector, frame dimensions (3-5/8"L x 1-3/4"W x 3-5/8"H), and cooling function of the original DA81-06013A evaporator fan motor used in compatible Samsung French door and bottom-mount refrigerators.

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. As an aftermarket replacement, the WR60X10185 is built to OEM-equivalent quality standards.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WR60X10185 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor fixes GE, Hotpoint, and select Kenmore refrigerators where the fresh food section runs warm while the freezer stays cold, there's unusual noise from the freezer, or frost is building up around the coil. 9.75V DC, 3.25W, 4-wire harness on a 6-pin connector (2 pins empty). Does NOT include a thermistor. Replaces AP3875639, 1170107, 197D2039P007, 197D2039P008, PS1019114, WR23X10353, WR23X10355, WR23X10364, WR60X10043, WR60X10154, and others listed below. If your old connector has a white thermistor wire, you need WR60X10074 instead; if it has a light connector, you need WR23X10467.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Fresh food compartment running warmer than normal while the freezer stays reasonably cold
Unusual noise — humming, buzzing, or grinding — coming from the freezer
Freezer not cooling properly, which in turn affects compressor performance
Frost or ice buildup accumulating around the fan blade or evaporator coil

Compatibility
This evaporator fan motor is compatible with select GE and Hotpoint refrigerators, and also fits select Kenmore, Haier, Monogram, and Café refrigerators built on the GE platform.
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.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Check Your Connector Type First Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning, and move perishable food to a cooler for the duration of the repair. 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 WR60X10220 Refrigerator Condenser Fan Motor
The XPARTCO WR60X10220 is an aftermarket replacement condenser fan motor for GE frost-free refrigerators with a condenser coil. This motor lives in the compressor/machine compartment at the back or bottom of the refrigerator. Whenever the compressor runs, this fan runs right along with it, circulating air through the refrigerator's grille to cool both the compressor and the condenser coils as they work. It also plays a secondary role in helping evaporate excess water that collects in the drain pan.
Because the condenser fan cools the mechanical side of the refrigeration system rather than circulating cold air to your food, a failing motor tends to affect the whole refrigerator's cooling capacity rather than just one compartment. The harness and plug extend approximately 8" from the motor body. Common failure causes include worn motor bearings, dust and debris buildup around the coils restricting airflow, and general electrical wear over time. Symptoms include a refrigerator that runs warm overall, a hot cabinet area near the back or bottom of the unit, a squealing or grinding noise, or the compressor running constantly as it struggles to shed heat. It directly replaces AP4298602, 1257132, AH1766247, EA1766247, PS1766247, WR60X10133, WR60X10171, WR60X10192, and SM10220.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WR60X10220 Refrigerator Condenser Fan Motor fixes GE, Hotpoint, RCA, Kenmore, Haier, Monogram, and Café frost-free refrigerators with a hot cabinet area, squealing or grinding noise, or a fridge running warm overall. Harness and plug extend approximately 8" from the motor. Replaces AP4298602, 1257132, AH1766247, EA1766247, PS1766247, WR60X10133, WR60X10171, WR60X10192, SM10220. This cools the compressor and condenser coils — a different part and symptom pattern than an evaporator fan, which only affects internal air circulation to the food compartments.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Refrigerator running warm overall, in both the fresh food and freezer compartments
Hot cabinet area noticeable near the back or bottom of the refrigerator
Squealing, grinding, or buzzing noise coming from the compressor compartment
Refrigerator running constantly as the compressor struggles to shed heat

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting Shut off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box, then pull the refrigerator away from the wall and disconnect the power cord from the outlet. Wear work gloves. Remove the condenser fan motor cover, typically held on by two screws, to access the motor. Before condemning the motor, clear away any dust, lint, or debris built up around the condenser coils and fan blade — restricted airflow from a dirty coil produces symptoms similar to a failing motor and costs nothing to rule out. Photograph the wiring and the fan blade's position before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the power wire and the ground wire from the old motor, remove the mounting screws or clips holding the motor bracket in place, and pull the motor and fan blade assembly free. If the old fan blade is seized onto the motor shaft, a firm, sudden strike (rather than steady pressure) will typically break the blade loose from the shaft without damaging the plastic blade, so it can be reused on the new motor. Mount the new WR60X10220 in the same position, reconnect the power and ground wires, and confirm the blade spins freely by hand without contacting the housing before reinstalling the fan cover. Restore power and monitor the refrigerator over the next 24 hours to confirm normal, even cooling has returned and any hot cabinet area or noise has resolved. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My refrigerator has a hot spot on the cabinet and runs warm overall. Is this the right part?
Yes, this is a classic symptom pair for a failing condenser fan motor. Without proper airflow across the condenser coils and compressor, heat builds up in the machine compartment (producing that hot cabinet area) while the whole refrigeration cycle loses efficiency, which shows up as both compartments running warmer than normal rather than just one.
The old fan blade is stuck on the motor shaft. How do I remove it without breaking it?
A gentle, steady pull often won't budge a seized blade, but a firm, sudden strike to the blade (rather than continuous pressure) will typically pop it loose from the metal shaft without damaging the plastic blade itself, so you can reuse it on the new motor if a blade isn't included. Work carefully and support the blade so it doesn't fall and crack once it releases.
Could dirty condenser coils cause the same symptoms as a bad fan motor?
Yes, and it's worth checking before you buy a new motor. A condenser fan pushing air through coils caked in dust, pet hair, or debris will struggle to cool the system properly even if the motor itself is working fine. Clean the coils and the fan blade thoroughly first; if the fan still doesn't spin freely, spins with a wobble, or doesn't run at all afterward, the motor itself has failed and this replacement is the correct fix.
Does this fan also affect my drain pan?
Yes, indirectly. In addition to cooling the compressor and condenser coils, this fan helps evaporate excess water that collects in the drain pan beneath the refrigerator. If the fan has failed, you may notice water pooling or not evaporating as it normally would, in addition to the more obvious cooling and noise symptoms.
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 mounting configuration, dimensions, and airflow performance of the original WR60X10220 condenser fan motor used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, RCA, Kenmore, Haier, Monogram, and Café refrigerators.

WR60X10318 Genuine OEM GE Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
The WR60X10318 is a genuine GE OEM evaporator fan motor assembly used in side-by-side refrigerators, complete with an integrated 2-wire thermistor built right into its 6-pin wiring harness. This motor draws air across the evaporator coil and circulates it through both the fresh food and freezer compartments, while the built-in thermistor reports temperature back to the control board so it can regulate cooling accurately. Because the thermistor and fan motor arrive as a single assembly, a fault in either function shows up together, and replacing this one part addresses both.
The harness and plug measure approximately 13-7/8" in length. Common failure causes include worn motor bearings that eventually seize the shaft entirely, debris or ice buildup around the fan blade, and general electrical wear over time. On this side-by-side platform, a classic failure sequence is a bearing that starts out noisy, then progressively worsens until the motor freezes up completely — once the fan stops moving air, the evaporator coil often ices over heavily since moisture keeps accumulating with nowhere for the resulting cold air to go. Symptoms include unusual noise from the freezer, inconsistent or warm temperatures in either compartment, visible frost buildup on the coil, and a refrigerator that runs continuously trying to compensate. It directly replaces AP4981643, PS3487992, EAP3487992, and 1812462.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Side-by-Side Units May Have Tight Clearance Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning, and move perishable food to a cooler for the duration of the repair. Wear work gloves. On side-by-side models, access can be tight: you may need to remove the rear interior panel, the ice maker, and a fan cover to reach the motor, so budget extra time and patience compared to a simpler platform. If the evaporator coil is heavily iced over, let the unit sit unplugged with the door open for several hours, or run a manual defrost, before continuing — ice can make the old motor difficult to remove cleanly and may be masking the actual point of failure. Photograph the 6-pin wiring harness connector and the fan blade's orientation before disconnecting anything. Remove the mounting screws holding the fan assembly in place, unplug the wiring harness connector, and slide the old assembly out of its housing. Slide the new WR60X10318 assembly into the same housing, secure it with the mounting screws, and reconnect the harness connector fully. Confirm the blade spins freely by hand without contacting the housing before reassembling the fan cover, ice maker, and rear panel. Restore power, open the door to test the fan, and monitor both compartments over the next 24 hours to confirm even, consistent cooling has returned. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" and 5/16" nut drivers, work gloves, and a headlamp or flashlight for visibility in tight spaces.
Frequently Asked Questions
My freezer is heavily iced over and both compartments are warm. Is this the fan motor?
Yes, this is a very common failure sequence on this platform. Once the evaporator fan motor's bearings wear out and the motor slows or seizes, air stops circulating away from the coil, moisture keeps condensing on it, and ice builds up heavily. Once that happens, both the freezer and fresh food compartments typically lose cooling together, since neither is getting circulated cold air anymore. Thawing the ice and confirming the fan motor doesn't spin freely by hand will confirm this diagnosis.
Does this include the thermistor, or do I need to buy that separately?
It's included. This assembly ships with a 2-wire thermistor built directly into the 6-pin wiring harness, so you don't need to source or install a separate thermistor component — replacing this one part addresses both the fan motor and the thermistor together.
Why is access so tight on my side-by-side refrigerator?
Side-by-side refrigerators tend to pack components more tightly than French door or top-freezer models, and this evaporator fan often sits behind the ice maker and a dedicated fan cover in addition to the rear interior panel. Removing all of these takes more time than a simpler platform, but the fan motor itself installs the same straightforward way once you have access — a headlamp or flashlight helps considerably in the tighter space.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It includes the same motor design, fan blade, integrated thermistor, and 6-pin harness configuration as the evaporator fan motor assembly originally installed in your side-by-side refrigerator.

XPARTCO DA97-20025A Refrigerator Condenser Fan Motor
The XPARTCO DA97-20025A is an aftermarket replacement condenser fan motor for Samsung French door, Flex 4-door, and side-by-side refrigerators. This small DC motor lives in the compressor compartment at the back or bottom of the refrigerator, and its job is to pull air across the condenser coils and the compressor itself to carry heat away from the refrigeration system. That's a very different job from an evaporator fan — the condenser fan cools the mechanical side of the system rather than circulating cold air to your food, so a failing condenser fan affects the whole refrigerator's cooling capacity rather than just one compartment.
Rated at 12V DC, 0.11A. When this fan slows down or stops, the compressor and condenser coils can't shed heat properly, which makes the whole system work harder and less effectively — both the fresh food and freezer compartments can run warm together, the compressor may run hot and cycle off on thermal protection, and you may notice increased noise or heat coming from the back or bottom of the cabinet. Common failure modes include worn motor bearings, a jammed blade from dust and debris buildup around the condenser coils, or electrical failure of the motor windings. It directly replaces PD00076495, 4962138, AP6883701, PS12720104, and EAP12720104.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DA97-20025A Refrigerator Condenser Fan Motor fixes Samsung French door, Flex 4-door, and side-by-side refrigerators where both compartments run warm together, the compressor runs hot or trips out, the refrigerator runs constantly, or there's unusual noise from the back or bottom of the cabinet. 12V DC, 0.11A. Replaces PD00076495, 4962138, AP6883701, PS12720104, EAP12720104. This cools the compressor and condenser coils — a different part and a different symptom pattern than an evaporator fan, which only affects internal air circulation.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Both the fresh food and freezer compartments running warmer than normal at the same time
Refrigerator running constantly as the compressor struggles to keep up
Compressor running unusually hot, or shutting off on thermal overload protection
Unusual noise — humming, buzzing, or grinding — coming from the back or bottom of the refrigerator
Ice maker not producing ice due to overall insufficient cooling
Noticeably higher energy use as the compressor works harder to compensate
Fan blade in the compressor compartment that doesn't spin freely or spins with a wobble when checked by hand
Excessive dust or debris buildup visible around the condenser coils and fan

Note — condenser fan, not evaporator fan: This motor cools the compressor and condenser coils in the machine compartment at the back or bottom of the refrigerator. It is a completely different part from an evaporator fan motor (such as our DA31-00334C or DA81-06013A listings), which sits behind the freezer's rear panel and circulates cold air to the food compartments. The two fail with different symptom patterns: a condenser fan problem tends to warm the whole refrigerator evenly and stress the compressor, while an evaporator fan problem typically leaves the freezer relatively fine while the fresh food side goes warm. Always verify your full model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure which fan motor your refrigerator needs.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is from the rear or bottom of the refrigerator, depending on your model: remove the rear access panel, or pull the unit out and remove the base grille/toe-kick panel at the bottom to reach the compressor compartment. Before condemning the motor, clear away any dust, lint, or debris built up around the condenser coils and fan blade — restricted airflow from a dirty coil produces similar symptoms to a failing motor and costs nothing to rule out. Photograph the wiring harness connector and the fan blade's position before disconnecting anything. Unplug the motor's wiring harness connector, remove the mounting screws or clips holding the motor bracket in place, and carefully pull the motor and fan blade assembly free. Transfer the fan blade to the new motor if it isn't included, matching the original orientation. Mount the new DA97-20025A in the same position, reconnect the wiring harness connector fully, and confirm the blade spins freely by hand without contacting the housing or coils before reassembling the access panel. Restore power and monitor the refrigerator over the next 24 hours to confirm normal, even cooling has returned and the compressor is no longer running hot. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Both my fresh food and freezer sections are warm. Is this the right part?
Yes, that pattern points toward the condenser fan rather than an evaporator fan. Because the condenser fan cools the compressor and condenser coils that the entire refrigeration cycle depends on, a failing condenser fan tends to reduce cooling capacity across both compartments together, rather than leaving one side fine while the other struggles. If only your fresh food section is warm while the freezer stays cold, that's more typical of an evaporator fan issue instead.
My compressor feels very hot and the fridge cycles off sometimes. Could that be the fan?
Very possibly. Without adequate airflow from the condenser fan, the compressor and coils can't shed heat efficiently, causing the compressor to run hotter than designed. Many compressors have built-in thermal overload protection that shuts them down temporarily if they overheat, which can show up as the refrigerator seeming to randomly stop and restart cooling. Restoring proper condenser airflow is often what resolves this.
Could dirty condenser coils cause the same symptoms as a bad fan motor?
Yes, and it's worth checking before you buy a new motor. A condenser fan pushing air through coils caked in dust, pet hair, or debris will struggle to cool the system properly even if the motor itself is working fine. Clean the coils and the fan blade thoroughly first; if the fan still doesn't spin freely, spins with a wobble, or doesn't run at all afterward, the motor itself has failed and this replacement is the correct fix.
Do I need this motor or an evaporator fan motor?
It depends on the symptom and the fan's location. The condenser fan sits in the compressor compartment at the back or bottom of the refrigerator and cools the compressor and coils — a failure here tends to warm the whole unit and stress the compressor. An evaporator fan sits behind the freezer's rear interior panel and circulates already-cold air to the compartments — a failure there typically leaves the freezer relatively unaffected while the fresh food section goes warm. If you're not sure which fan has failed, check which one is running (or not) by listening near each location with the refrigerator open and the door switch triggered manually, or contact our support team with your model number.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is manufactured to match the electrical specifications (12V DC, 0.11A), fan blade design, and mounting configuration of the original DA97-20025A condenser fan motor used in compatible Samsung refrigerators.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting Unplug the refrigerator before beginning. Pull the refrigerator away from the wall to access the rear lower back panel. Remove the screws securing the back panel to expose the compressor, condenser coils, and condenser fan assembly. The condenser fan motor is mounted on a bracket near the compressor with the fan blade facing the condenser coil. Take a photo of the wire connector orientation before disconnecting. Disconnect the 4-pin wire connector from the motor. Remove the mounting screws securing the motor to the bracket and slide the old motor out. Note the orientation of the fan blade on the motor shaft — the blade must be reinstalled in the same direction on the new motor (or transferred from the old motor if the new motor does not include a blade). Install the new WR60X10209 motor, reconnect the wire connector, reinstall the back panel, restore power, and confirm the condenser fan spins when the compressor starts. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the condenser fan motor do in a refrigerator?
The condenser fan motor drives a fan blade that circulates ambient air across the condenser coils at the rear of the refrigerator. The condenser coils carry hot high-pressure refrigerant that has just been compressed — the fan removes heat from the refrigerant so it can cool, condense, and return to the evaporator to absorb heat from inside the refrigerator. Without the condenser fan running, heat builds up around the compressor and coils, causing the refrigerator to lose cooling efficiency, run continuously, or — in severe cases — trip the compressor's thermal overload and shut down entirely.
Why does this motor use DC voltage instead of AC?
Modern GE refrigerators use DC motors for the condenser fan because they are more energy-efficient, quieter, and easier to speed-control by the refrigerator's electronic control board than traditional AC motors. The refrigerator's main control board converts household 120V AC power to 11.3V DC to supply the condenser fan motor. This DC motor runs at a variable speed under board control, which allows GE's refrigerators to optimize fan speed based on cooling demand.
How do I confirm the condenser fan motor has failed?
Pull the refrigerator away from the wall, unplug it, and remove the rear lower panel. Spin the condenser fan blade by hand — if it is stiff, wobbles, or seizes, the motor bearing has failed. If the blade spins freely but the motor does not run when the refrigerator is plugged in and the compressor starts, check for DC voltage at the motor connector using a multimeter. If the board is supplying approximately 11–12V DC to the motor but the motor is not running, the motor has failed electrically. If no voltage is present, the control board may not be supplying power — a less common but possible failure mode.
Does this motor come with the fan blade?
The WR60X10209 is the motor only — the fan blade is typically not included and should be transferred from the old motor. When removing the old motor, carefully pull the fan blade off the motor shaft (it presses on — no hardware is typically needed). Press the blade onto the new motor shaft in the same orientation. If the fan blade is cracked or damaged, it should be replaced separately. Installing the blade in the wrong direction will reverse the airflow direction and reduce cooling efficiency.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by GE to factory specifications. It is the exact same DC condenser fan motor installed in compatible GE, Hotpoint, and related brand refrigerators from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

XPARTCO DA31-00334C Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
The XPARTCO DA31-00334C is an aftermarket replacement evaporator fan motor for Samsung bottom-mount and side-by-side refrigerators. This small brushless DC (BLDC) motor sits behind the freezer's rear panel, directly in front of the evaporator coil, and its job is to pull cold air off that coil and push it through the duct system into both the freezer and fresh food compartments. Without it circulating air, the coil itself keeps getting cold, but that cold air never reaches your food — the freezer may still work reasonably well since it sits closer to the coil, while the fresh food side drifts warmer and warmer since it depends entirely on ducted airflow from the back.
Rated at 12V DC, 2.5W, 0.12A, running at approximately 1,870 RPM. As a brushless design, this motor has no physical brushes to wear out, so failure typically comes from a worn bearing that lets the blade wobble or bind, a winding that has burned out electrically, or a blade that has become jammed by a chunk of built-up frost or freezer debris. It directly replaces DA31-00287B, DA31-00334A, DA31-00305A, DA96-00968A, AP6803162, 3954921, AP5948644, PS9494284, EAP9494284, PS12590897, and EAP12590897. Also compatible with select Kenmore refrigerators built on the Samsung platform.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DA31-00334C Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor fixes Samsung bottom-mount and side-by-side refrigerators with uneven cooling, a fresh food compartment that's warmer than it should be, frost or ice buildup at the back or bottom of the freezer, or a grinding/buzzing noise from inside the cabinet. Brushless DC (BLDC) motor, 12V DC, 2.5W, 0.12A, ~1,870 RPM. Replaces DA31-00287B, DA31-00334A, DA31-00305A, DA96-00968A, AP6803162, 3954921, AP5948644, PS9494284, EAP9494284, PS12590897, EAP12590897. Verify your model number before ordering — Samsung uses several different evaporator fan motors, and this is not the same part as our DA81-06013A listing.

Compatibility
This evaporator fan motor is compatible with select Samsung bottom-mount and side-by-side refrigerators, and also fits select Kenmore refrigerators built on the Samsung platform.
Note — not the same motor as DA81-06013A: Samsung uses several different evaporator fan motor designs across its refrigerator lineup. The DA31-00334C is a distinct part from our DA81-06013A listing, which is built for a different model family and has its own connector and mounting configuration. Fitting the wrong motor can result in a connector that won't mate with your wiring harness or a fan blade that doesn't clear the housing correctly. 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.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Let The Freezer Thaw If Iced Over Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning, and remove all food from the freezer to a cooler for the duration of the repair. Wear work gloves. Access is through the freezer's rear interior panel: remove the shelving and bins as needed, then remove the screws securing the back panel and set it aside to expose the evaporator coil and fan assembly. If you see significant frost or ice buildup 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, since ice can be masking the actual point of failure and can also make the old motor difficult to remove cleanly. 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 carefully pull the motor and fan blade assembly free — on many models the blade is a separate piece that pulls off the motor shaft. Transfer the fan blade to the new motor if it isn't included, or install the new blade supplied with this motor, matching the original orientation. Mount the new DA31-00334C 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 cooling has returned. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My freezer seems fine but the fresh food section is warm. Is this really the fan motor?
Yes, this is a very common and telling symptom pattern. The freezer compartment sits right next to the evaporator coil and can stay reasonably cold through simple proximity even with poor 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, while the freezer may seem to lag only slightly behind.
I hear a grinding or buzzing noise that stops when I open the freezer door. What does that mean?
This is a classic symptom of a worn fan motor bearing or a blade that's catching on built-up frost. Opening the door often triggers the refrigerator's internal light switch or door sensor, which can cut power to the fan momentarily — the noise stops because the fan stops spinning, then resumes once the door closes and the fan restarts. If you can see or reach the fan blade with the freezer open, check whether it spins freely and smoothly by hand; a blade that wobbles, binds, or contacts the housing points to the motor as the cause.
There's a lot of frost around the back panel of my freezer. Should I fix that before replacing the fan?
It's worth understanding which came first. Excess frost can be a cause of fan failure — a jammed blade can burn out the motor over time — or a result of it, since poor air circulation lets moisture condense and freeze unevenly around the coil area. Either way, thawing the ice out fully before you install the new motor makes the repair easier and lets you confirm the blade spins freely once everything is defrosted, rather than immediately jamming again on refrozen ice.
Do I need to transfer the fan blade from my old motor?
It depends on what's included with your specific order — check whether a blade came with your new motor before removing the old one. If a blade is not included, the blade from your original motor typically pulls off the shaft and can be transferred over. Photograph the blade's orientation on the shaft before removing it so you can reinstall it the same way; an improperly oriented blade can affect airflow or contact the housing.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is manufactured to match the electrical specifications (12V DC, 2.5W, 0.12A, ~1,870 RPM), brushless motor design, and mounting configuration of the original DA31-00334C evaporator fan motor used in compatible Samsung and Kenmore refrigerators.
