Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting Disconnect power before beginning. The thermistor location varies by model — it is typically clipped to a bracket on the interior side wall of the fresh food or freezer compartment, or mounted near the evaporator coil. Consult your model's parts diagram or service manual to confirm the exact location before disassembly. Open the sensor cover or unclip the sensor bracket, disconnect the wiring connector, and pull the old thermistor out. Insert the new 2188820 thermistor, reconnect the wiring connector, and snap the cover or bracket back into place. Ensure the sensor head is positioned close to the compartment wall and the wiring is not pinched. Restore power and monitor the refrigerator temperature over the next few hours to confirm stable, accurate cooling. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver (for panel access on some models); no tools needed for sensor replacement itself.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 2188820 and WP2188820?
These are the same thermistor. WP2188820 is the updated Whirlpool OEM part number that superseded the original 2188820. The 2213442 is also a cross-reference for the same part. This aftermarket replacement is compatible with all three numbers.
What does an NTC thermistor do and how do I know if mine has failed?
An NTC thermistor is a resistor whose resistance decreases as temperature increases. The control board sends a small voltage through the thermistor and measures the resulting resistance — a lower resistance means warmer temperature, and a higher resistance means cooler temperature. The board uses this reading to decide when to run the compressor and fans. A failed thermistor either reads open circuit (no continuity), short circuit (zero resistance), or provides incorrect readings that cause the refrigerator to run too warm, too cold, or cycle erratically. Test with a multimeter at room temperature — a working 2188820 should read approximately 50K ohms at 25°C (77°F). Significant deviation indicates failure.
How do I know if my refrigerator uses the WISE system?
The WISE (Whirlpool Intelligent Smart Energy) system was introduced on newer Whirlpool refrigerator models and uses a different thermistor specification that is not interchangeable with the 2188820. Models that use the WISE system are typically marked in the product documentation or on the control board. The easiest way to confirm compatibility is to verify your model number with our support team before ordering, or check whether WP2188820 appears in your model's official parts diagram. If your parts diagram lists WP2188820, this replacement is compatible.
Where is the thermistor located in my refrigerator?
The thermistor location varies by model and brand. On Whirlpool and KitchenAid models, it is commonly found on the interior side wall of the fresh food compartment clipped to a plastic housing. On some models it is located near the evaporator coil behind the freezer back panel. On Kenmore 106 series models, it may be on the fresh food section wall or inside the back panel. Consult your specific model's parts diagram or search for a model-specific installation video to locate the sensor before disassembling the refrigerator.
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 with an NTC thermistor rated to the same 50K ohm specification as the original WP2188820 to match the performance and accuracy of the factory sensor.

XPARTCO 242046001 Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat
The XPARTCO 242046001 is an aftermarket replacement defrost termination thermostat compatible with a wide range of Frigidaire, Electrolux, Crosley, Gibson, Kelvinator, Tappan, Westinghouse, White-Westinghouse, and Kenmore refrigerators — including French door, side-by-side, and bottom-freezer models across the CFD, DGHF, E23BC, and EI23BC series. The defrost thermostat is a bi-metal safety device clipped to the evaporator coil or defrost heater tube in the freezer compartment. During the defrost cycle, it monitors the coil temperature and opens its circuit once the coil warms to roughly 50–60°F (10–15°C), which cuts power to the defrost heater. This confirms all the ice has melted and prevents the heater from continuing to run and overheating the freezer.
When the thermostat fails, one of two things happens: it can fail open (the defrost heater never runs, so ice builds up on the coils until airflow is blocked and cooling fails), or it can fail closed (the heater runs too long, overheating the compartment and often producing water pooling at the bottom of the freezer or leaking onto the floor). Features a cylindrical metallic body with two blue wires and white electrical connectors. Specification code L47-22F. Wire leads approximately 7.9". It directly replaces 242046001, 240386402, 240386403, AP4508400, 1564839, AH2378768, EA2378768, PS2378768, and L47-22F. Tip: the defrost thermostat, defrost heater, and defrost timer/control board form the defrost system and often fail together — replacing them as a set while the panel is off saves a repeat repair. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 242046001 Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat fixes Frigidaire, Electrolux, Crosley, Gibson, Kelvinator, Kenmore, Tappan, and Westinghouse refrigerators with excessive frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coils, fridge or freezer too warm (or too cold), the defrost cycle not activating, the refrigerator running continuously, or water pooling/leaking in the freezer. Bi-metal defrost termination thermostat — opens around 50–60°F to shut off the defrost heater. Cylindrical metal body, 2 blue wires, white connectors. Replaces 240386402, 240386403, AP4508400, 1564839, AH2378768, EA2378768, PS2378768, L47-22F. Often replaced together with the defrost heater and defrost timer.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator and Move Perishable Food Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Unplug the refrigerator from the electrical outlet and safely store any food that could spoil while the power is off. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. The defrost thermostat is located in the freezer compartment behind the rear evaporator access panel. Remove all freezer shelves, drawers, and the ice maker (if equipped) to clear access to the back wall. If there's heavy ice buildup covering the coils, allow the freezer to thaw completely before continuing — never chip or pry ice off the evaporator coils, as the aluminum fins damage easily and a damaged coil is a far more expensive repair. Remove the screws securing the rear evaporator access panel and carefully detach it to expose the evaporator coils, defrost heater, and defrost thermostat. Locate the thermostat — it's the small cylindrical metal component clipped onto the evaporator coil or the defrost heater tube, with two blue wires. Photograph the wiring connections and mounting position before disconnecting. Carefully disconnect the electrical connectors from the old thermostat, noting their orientation. Release the mounting clip and remove the old thermostat. Clip the new 242046001 thermostat onto the coil or heater tube in the exact same position — good thermal contact with the coil is essential for the thermostat to sense the temperature correctly. Reconnect the electrical connectors. While the panel is open, inspect the defrost heater and defrost timer/control board — if either is damaged or you're chasing a defrost problem, this is the ideal time to replace them too. 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. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a defrost thermostat actually do?
It's the "off switch" for your refrigerator's defrost heater. Frost naturally accumulates on the evaporator coils during normal cooling. Periodically, the defrost timer/control board turns on the defrost heater to melt that frost. The defrost thermostat — a bi-metal switch clipped right to the coil — monitors the coil's temperature during this cycle. When the coil warms to approximately 47°F (its L47-22F rating — indicating all the ice has melted), the thermostat opens its circuit and cuts power to the heater. This stops the heater before it overheats the freezer compartment, and saves energy. Without a working thermostat, the defrost cycle either never runs (ice builds up) or runs too long (overheating and water pooling).
I found water pooling in my freezer — is the defrost thermostat the cause?
Quite possibly. A defrost thermostat that fails closed (stuck in the "on" position) lets the defrost heater run far longer than it should. The excess heat melts more than just the frost on the coils, producing more water than the drain can handle — which pools at the bottom of the freezer and can leak onto the floor. This is a commonly misdiagnosed symptom: many people assume they have a water line leak when the actual culprit is a failed defrost thermostat. If you're seeing unexplained water in the freezer or on the floor and there's no obvious water line issue, check the defrost thermostat. Also verify the defrost drain isn't clogged, which produces similar symptoms.
How do I test the defrost thermostat?
With the refrigerator unplugged, disconnect the thermostat's wire connectors and set your multimeter to continuity mode. A working defrost thermostat should show continuity when it's cold (below its opening temperature — which it will be if it's been in the freezer). If it reads open (no continuity) while cold, the thermostat has failed and needs replacement. For a more thorough test, place the thermostat in ice water (should show continuity), then warm it above its ~47°F opening point (should open — no continuity). If it doesn't switch at the correct temperatures, replace it. Another visual check: if the top of the thermostat has popped up or bulged, that's a sign it has failed.
Should I replace the defrost heater and timer at the same time?
Yes, it's strongly recommended. The defrost thermostat, defrost heater, and defrost timer/control board work together as a system — the timer initiates the defrost cycle, the heater melts the frost, and the thermostat terminates the cycle when the coil is clear. When one component fails, the others have typically experienced the same age and thermal stress, and a near-term failure of another defrost component is common. Since the rear access panel is already off and all three components are right there next to each other, replacing them together in a single session prevents a repeat repair down the road.
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/Electrolux OEM part, but is manufactured to match the L47-22F specification (opening at approximately 47°F), bi-metal switching function, cylindrical body, two-blue-wire connector configuration, and tube-mount clip of the original 242046001 defrost termination thermostat used in compatible Frigidaire, Electrolux, Crosley, Gibson, Kelvinator, Tappan, Westinghouse, and Kenmore refrigerators.

WR60X10209 Genuine OEM GE Refrigerator DC Condenser Fan Motor
The WR60X10209 is a Genuine OEM GE replacement DC condenser fan motor compatible with a wide range of GE, Hotpoint, RCA, Kenmore, Haier, Monogram, and Café refrigerators in the GSS, GSL, HSS, PSS, PSC, GCE, PCE, and related series. The condenser fan motor is located near the compressor at the rear bottom of the refrigerator. It circulates air across the condenser coils to dissipate heat from the hot refrigerant before it returns to the evaporator — this is an essential step in the refrigeration cycle. Without the condenser fan running, heat builds up around the compressor and condenser coils, causing the refrigerator to run continuously, cool inefficiently, or trip the compressor's thermal overload protection.

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.

WR60X31522 Genuine OEM GE Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
The WR60X31522 is a Genuine OEM GE replacement evaporator fan motor compatible with select GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Americana top-mount freezer refrigerators. The evaporator fan motor is located at the back of the freezer compartment and circulates air across the evaporator coils — converting the heat from the air into cool air that's then distributed throughout both the freezer and fresh food sections. Without a properly functioning evaporator fan, the refrigerator can't move cold air where it's needed, causing the fresh food and/or freezer sections to warm up, ice to build up on the coils, and the compressor to run continuously trying to compensate.
This 115V AC motor is rated at 60Hz, 3.3W and uses a 2-pin connector plus ground wire. Dimensions are 3-1/4"L x 2-3/8"W x 3-3/8"H, with a harness and plug extending approximately 3-1/2" from the motor. Construction is plastic and metal in marbled white & gray. Note: this listing is for the motor with harness only — the fan blade may need to be transferred from the old motor. It directly replaces WR60X10045, WR60X10046, WR60X10072, WR60X10138, WR60X10141, WR60X10346, WR60X23584, WR60X27646, WR60X28783, WR60X28784, WR60X31122, WR60X31523, 4959523, 197D2038P031, AP6977246, EAP12741350, PD00062864, and PS12741350.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator and Move Perishable Food Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves 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 at the back of the freezer compartment, behind an interior access panel. Remove the freezer shelves and any internal components blocking access to the rear panel. Remove the screws holding the rear access panel in place to expose the evaporator coils and fan motor. Photograph the wire connections and fan blade orientation before disconnecting. Disconnect the 2-pin wire harness connector and the ground wire from the old motor. Note the orientation of the fan blade on the motor shaft — the blade typically presses onto the shaft and may need to be transferred to the new motor. Remove the mounting screws or release the motor from its mounting bracket, and pull the old motor free. Carefully transfer the fan blade to the new WR60X31522 motor in the same orientation (or use a new blade if you have one). Install the new motor in the same position, reconnect the wire harness and ground wire, and reinstall the access panel and shelves. Plug the refrigerator back in and allow several hours for the unit to return to its set temperature before reloading with food. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if the evaporator fan motor has failed?
The most common symptoms are: the refrigerator or freezer is warmer than its set temperature even though the compressor sounds like it's running normally; heavy frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coils behind the freezer access panel ("Antarctica" frost); and loud whining, grinding, or scraping noise from the freezer area. To confirm: unplug the refrigerator, remove the rear freezer access panel, and try turning the fan blade by hand. If it doesn't spin freely or is stiff/seized, the motor bearing has failed. You can also test for motor continuity with a multimeter — no continuity confirms electrical failure.
My refrigerator has two evaporator fans — which one does this replace?
Some refrigerator models have two evaporator fan motors — one in the fresh food section and one in the freezer section. The WR60X31522 is typically the freezer-section evaporator fan motor on top-mount style GE and Hotpoint refrigerators. If your symptom is "freezer not cooling properly" or "frost on freezer coils," this is the correct part. If your symptom is specifically "fresh food section warm while freezer is fine" on a French door refrigerator, you may need a different fan motor — contact our support team with your model number to confirm.
Does this motor come with the fan blade?
No — the WR60X31522 listing is for the motor with harness and plug only. The fan blade is typically transferred from the old motor: carefully pull it off the old motor shaft (it presses on, no hardware needed), and press it onto the new motor shaft in the same orientation. If your old fan blade is damaged or cracked, it should be replaced separately. Installing the blade in the wrong direction will reverse the airflow and reduce cooling performance.
What's the difference between the WR60X31522 (115V AC) and DC motors like the WR60X10209 or WR60X26866?
GE refrigerators use different fan motor technologies across model generations. The WR60X31522 is a 115V AC motor with a 2-pin connector plus ground — used in many GE and Hotpoint top-mount freezer refrigerators. The WR60X10209 and WR60X26866 are DC voltage motors (around 11–14V DC) used in newer GE French door refrigerators with electronic control boards that supply variable DC voltage for energy-efficient variable-speed fan operation. These are not interchangeable — always verify the correct part number for your specific refrigerator model 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 evaporator fan motor installed in compatible GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Americana refrigerators from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

It may be, if the water supply is on, the water filter is not clogged, and the freezer is cold enough. If the ice maker's contacts are corroded, it leaks, or it no longer cycles, replacing the whole unit is the simplest fix.
Does the kit include the shut-off arm?
No. Remove the shut-off arm from your original ice maker and fit it on the new one, or order the arm for your model.
The wiring harness on the new ice maker doesn't match mine. What do I do?
You can remove the harness from your existing ice maker and reuse it on the new unit.
Is this a genuine Whirlpool part?
Yes. This is a genuine OEM Whirlpool part, not an aftermarket equivalent.
Will this fit my refrigerator?
It is listed for a very wide range of Whirlpool-family refrigerators. Match the number on your old ice maker against the Replaces list, or contact our support team with your model number and we'll confirm fit before you order.

XPARTCO WR17X11653 Refrigerator Dispenser Ice Door Flapper
The XPARTCO WR17X11653 is an aftermarket replacement ice door flapper, also sold as the dispenser door assembly, ice chute door or door recess assembly, for GE, Hotpoint and Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators, replacing GE part WR17X11653. It sits in the ice chute opening, seals the freezer against warm room air, and opens when the dispenser lever is pressed so ice can reach your glass.
If the door is cracked, warped, or its gasket no longer seals, warm air gets into the chute and the dispenser suffers. Check your model number before ordering, as the kit may include more than one piece.

The XPARTCO WR17X11653 Ice Door Flapper replaces the ice chute door on a compatible GE, Hotpoint or Kenmore refrigerator when it is cracked, warped, or no longer seals. Classic symptoms: door sweating, frost buildup at the chute, or ice not dispensing.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the refrigerator and move perishable food to a cooler before you begin. Wear work gloves. A Phillips screwdriver and a small flat-blade screwdriver are typically needed. No installation instructions are included with the part, so keep your model's parts diagram handy and note how the old door and any springs or pieces come apart before removing them. Install the new door the same way, then restore power and test the dispenser.
