XPARTCO W10599356 Washer Water Valve
The XPARTCO W10599356 is an aftermarket replacement water inlet valve for Whirlpool-built front-load washers, including full-size and compact models. This valve sits at the back of the washer where the hot and cold water supply hoses connect, and it's the gatekeeper for every drop of water that enters the drum. When the control calls for water, it energizes the valve's solenoid coils to open the hot side, the cold side, or both together, and closes them again once the correct fill level is reached. A valve that won't open leaves you with no fill at all; a valve that won't fully close can let water trickle or flow into the drum even when the cycle isn't calling for it.
Over time, mineral deposits and sediment from the water supply can build up inside the valve body and prevent it from sealing fully, the internal solenoid coil can burn out electrically, and the rubber diaphragm or seal inside can simply wear out with age. A failing valve on this platform commonly triggers an F8 E1 or similar fill-related error code, since the control expects water to reach the correct level within a set time and flags it when that doesn't happen. It directly replaces AP5692067, 3023192, PS8689091, and W10509710.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO W10599356 Washer Water Valve fixes Whirlpool-built front-load washers that won't fill, fill slowly, overfill, leak water into the drum when the cycle isn't running, or throw an F8 E1 or similar fill-related error code. Solenoid-actuated water inlet valve for the hot and cold supply connections. Replaces AP5692067, 3023192, PS8689091, W10509710. Consider replacing the fill hoses at the same time — they wear on a similar schedule and share the same access point.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Shut Off Water Supply And Unplug Washer Before Starting — Have A Towel Ready Unplug the washer or shut off its circuit breaker, and shut off both the hot and cold water supply valves before beginning. Wear work gloves. Disconnect the hot and cold water supply lines from the back of the valve first — have a towel or shallow pan ready, since residual water will spill out. Use a 1/4" nut driver or socket to remove the rear screws securing the top panel, then slide the panel back and lift it off to access the valve from inside the cabinet. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the electrical connector from the old valve, remove the mounting screw or bracket (often a T-20 Torx screw), and pull the valve free from its mounting position. Install the new W10599356 in the same orientation, secure the mounting screw, and reconnect the electrical connector fully. Reattach the hot and cold water supply lines to the correct ports, tightening securely by hand plus a partial turn with pliers. Reinstall the top panel, restore the water supply, and check every connection you touched for leaks before restoring power. Run a short cycle and confirm the tub fills at the normal rate with no leaking underneath or behind the washer. While everything is accessible, consider replacing the fill hoses as well, since they wear on a similar schedule. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver or socket, T-20 Torx bit, pliers, towel or shallow pan, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer shows an F8 E1 error. Does that mean the valve is definitely bad?
It's a strong indicator, but check the basics first. F8 E1 and similar fill-related codes generally mean the control didn't see water reach the expected level within its allotted fill time. Before replacing the valve, confirm both hot and cold supply valves at the wall are fully open, check the inlet screens inside the valve ports for sediment or debris, and make sure the fill hoses aren't kinked. If those check out and the washer still won't fill properly, the inlet valve itself is the likely cause.
Water keeps trickling into the drum even when the washer is off. Is that the valve?
Yes, this is one of the classic symptoms of a valve that isn't sealing fully closed. Mineral deposits, sediment, or a worn internal diaphragm can prevent the valve from shutting off completely, letting a slow trickle of water continue into the drum between cycles. This can eventually lead to an overfill or water pooling at the front of the washer, so it's worth addressing promptly rather than waiting.
Only hot or only cold water isn't coming in. Do I need to replace the whole valve?
Usually yes. Most washer inlet valves use two separate solenoid coils in one housing — one for hot, one for cold — but they're not typically sold as separately replaceable coils. If just one side has stopped working while the other functions normally, that still points to a failure inside this valve assembly, and replacing the complete unit is the standard repair.
Should I replace the fill hoses while I'm in there?
It's a good idea. The fill hoses connect right at the same point you'll already have exposed, wear on a similar timeline as the valve, and are a common source of slow leaks that get blamed on the valve. Since you're already accessing this area, replacing hoses that show any cracking, bulging, or stiffness saves you from repeating the disassembly 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 Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the solenoid design, flow rate, and mounting configuration of the original W10599356 / W10509710 valve used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore front-load washers.

XPARTCO W10350564 Refrigerator Run Capacitor Replaces WPW10350564
The XPARTCO W10350564 is an aftermarket replacement compressor run capacitor compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Roper, Admiral, Ikea, and Kenmore refrigerators and freezers. The run capacitor is a small but critical electrical component mounted near the compressor at the back of the refrigerator — it delivers a phase-shifted power boost that helps the compressor motor start at the beginning of each cooling cycle, and supports smooth, efficient motor operation while the compressor runs. When the capacitor fails — typically from dielectric breakdown, age, heat, or moisture intrusion — the compressor may fail to start, hum without starting, kick on and off repeatedly, or cause inconsistent cooling throughout the refrigerator.
Rated 12 µF (MFD) ±5% capacitance, 180VAC, 50/60Hz. This capacitor works together with the compressor start relay/start device — the two components are frequently replaced together, since a failed capacitor often stresses the relay and vice versa. It directly replaces WPW10350564, W10350564, AP6020176, PS11753490, EAP11753490, and 2683570. This is one of the most cost-effective refrigerator repairs — a failed run capacitor mimics symptoms of a failed compressor (a far more expensive repair), so testing and replacing the capacitor first can save hundreds of dollars. Installs in about 15 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO W10350564 Refrigerator Run Capacitor fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, and Kenmore refrigerators and freezers where the compressor won't start, hums without starting, kicks on and off, or the fridge/freezer is too warm with inconsistent cooling. 12 µF (MFD) ±5%, 180VAC, 50/60Hz. Replaces WPW10350564, AP6020176, PS11753490, EAP11753490, 2683570. Often replaced together with the compressor start relay. A 15-minute repair that can save you from misdiagnosing a "failed compressor."
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Compressor won't start — no power boost from the failed capacitor
Compressor hums or clicks but doesn't start running
Compressor kicks on and off repeatedly (short cycling)
Refrigerator and freezer too warm — cooling cycles not completing
Fridge too warm while freezer seems okay — weak compressor operation
Noticeable humming sounds from the back of the refrigerator
Inconsistent cooling and variable temperatures inside the refrigerator
Refrigerator will not start at all
Capacitor visibly bulged, leaking, or burned
Capacitance test reads significantly off from 12 µF

Installation Notes
⚠️ Capacitor Safety Warning — Stored Electrical Charge Capacitors store an electrical charge even after the refrigerator is unplugged. Before handling the old capacitor, discharge it safely: with the refrigerator unplugged, touch the blade of an insulated-handle screwdriver across both capacitor terminals simultaneously to short them together (you may see or hear a small spark — that's the stored charge dissipating). Never touch the capacitor terminals with bare hands before discharging. If you're not comfortable with this step, have the repair done by a qualified appliance technician.
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Unplug the refrigerator and pull it away from the wall to access the rear. Safely store any food that could spoil if the repair takes longer than expected. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. The run capacitor is located near the compressor at the bottom rear of the refrigerator, typically behind a lower rear access panel. Remove the screws holding the access panel and set it aside. Locate the capacitor — a small rectangular or oval component connected to the compressor's start relay/start device by wire terminals. Photograph the wire connections before disconnecting anything. Discharge the old capacitor before touching the terminals (see the safety warning above). Disconnect the wire terminals from the old capacitor — note which wire goes to which terminal. Release the capacitor from its mounting clip or bracket. Install the new W10350564 capacitor in the same position, secure the mounting clip, and reconnect the wires to the same terminals as photographed. While the panel is open, inspect the start relay/start device on the side of the compressor — if it rattles when shaken, shows burn marks, or has corroded terminals, replace it at the same time. Reinstall the rear access panel, push the refrigerator back into place, plug it in, and listen for the compressor to start smoothly within a few minutes. Allow several hours for the refrigerator to return to its set temperature. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, insulated-handle flathead screwdriver (for discharging), needle-nose pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if the run capacitor has failed and not the compressor?
This is the key question — because a failed $15–30 capacitor produces nearly identical symptoms to a failed $300+ compressor. Signs pointing to the capacitor: the compressor hums or clicks but won't start; the compressor tries to start, runs briefly, then shuts off (short cycling); or the refrigerator gradually stopped cooling with humming from the rear. To test: unplug the refrigerator, discharge the capacitor, disconnect it, and measure it with a multimeter that has a capacitance setting — a healthy capacitor reads close to 12 µF (within ±5%). A reading far off, zero, or infinite confirms the capacitor has failed. Visual signs like bulging, leaking, or burn marks also confirm failure. Given the low cost, replacing the capacitor (and start relay) first is the standard diagnostic approach before condemning the compressor.
Should I replace the start relay at the same time?
Yes, it's strongly recommended. The run capacitor and the compressor start relay/start device work together in the compressor's starting circuit — the relay switches power to the start winding while the capacitor provides the phase-shifted boost. When one fails, the other has typically been stressed by the same electrical events (voltage spikes, overheating, repeated failed start attempts). Both components are inexpensive, mounted in the same location on or near the compressor, and accessible in the same repair session. A quick relay check: with the refrigerator unplugged, remove the relay and shake it — if it rattles, the internal components have failed and it needs replacement.
Why does the capacitor need to be discharged before handling?
Capacitors store electrical energy — that's their job. Even after the refrigerator is unplugged, the capacitor can hold a charge capable of delivering a painful (and potentially dangerous) shock when you touch both terminals. Before handling, always discharge the capacitor by shorting both terminals together with the blade of an insulated-handle screwdriver — touch the metal blade across both terminals at once and hold for a second or two. You may see a small spark as the charge dissipates; that's normal. After discharging, the capacitor is safe to handle. This takes five seconds and eliminates the shock risk entirely.
What's the difference between a run capacitor and a start capacitor?
Both assist the compressor motor but in different phases of operation. A start capacitor delivers a large, brief boost only during the initial moment of motor startup, then is switched out of the circuit. A run capacitor — like the W10350564 — stays in the circuit continuously while the motor runs, providing an ongoing phase shift that improves the motor's running efficiency and torque. Household refrigerators on the Whirlpool platform typically use a run capacitor working alongside the start relay/start device. Match the replacement to your original: the W10350564 is a 12 µF, 180VAC run capacitor, and the capacitance rating must match for correct compressor operation.
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 to match the electrical specifications (12 µF ±5%, 180VAC, 50/60Hz), terminal configuration, and compressor-support function of the original WPW10350564/W10350564 run capacitor used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, and Kenmore refrigerators and freezers.

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.

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. It directly replaces WR60X26033, WR60X26030, WR60X24303, WR60X10341, WR60X10356, WR60X10357, WR02X13733, 239D1412P006, V80E14MS2A3-57A611, 8817V-W1, 4546026, AP5985039, AP6278228, EAP12172983, PD00038765, PS11721915, and PS12172983. Important: if your refrigerator was built between May 2014 and March 2015 with serial range FF–HD, the unit's software must be updated before installing this fan motor — see FAQ below. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools.

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 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.

5303918214 Genuine OEM Frigidaire Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat
The 5303918214 is a genuine Frigidaire OEM 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. As a genuine OEM part, the 5303918214 is manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
Quick Answer
The 5303918214 Genuine OEM Frigidaire 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

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator And Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting Unplug the refrigerator from the wall outlet and turn off the water supply to the refrigerator before beginning. 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 a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original temperature threshold, mounting configuration, and function of the defrost thermostat originally installed in your refrigerator.

The XPARTCO DA81-06013A is an aftermarket replacement evaporator fan motor compatible with a wide range of Samsung French door and bottom-mount refrigerators across the RF18, RF22, RF23, RF24, RF25, RF26, RF28, RF30, and RF34 series. 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.

WR60X31997 Genuine OEM GE Refrigerator Ice Box Fan Motor
The WR60X31997 is a genuine GE OEM ice box fan motor assembly for GE, Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, and Café refrigerators. This motor is situated in the freezer section and circulates cold air specifically around the ice box area, playing a direct role in ice production as well as general cooling and airflow in that part of the freezer. Consistent airflow here is what keeps the ice maker producing normally and prevents warm spots from developing nearby.
Rated 12V DC, 0.23A. Common causes of failure include a malfunctioning motor, worn-out bushings that hinder smooth rotation, or damaged fan blades that restrict airflow; mineral buildup can also gradually degrade the fan's efficiency over time. A failing ice box fan produces a recognizable set of symptoms: reduced or inadequate ice production, items in the freezer warming up or defrosting even with the door shut, unusual sounds or vibration when the fan runs, or uneven frost patterns suggesting the airflow in that area isn't circulating properly. It directly replaces PD00071430, 4964240, AP6978662, PS12744140, and EAP12744140.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning, and move perishable food to a cooler for the duration of the repair. Wear work gloves. Access the ice box fan by locating the panel or housing covering it in the freezer's ice box area — this may require removing the ice maker or nearby components for clearance depending on your model. Photograph the wiring and the fan blade's orientation before disconnecting anything. Disconnect 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. Mount the new WR60X31997 in the same position, reconnect the wiring harness connector, and confirm the blade spins freely by hand without contacting the housing before reassembling any panels or components you removed for access. Restore power and monitor ice production and freezer temperature over the next 24 hours to confirm normal operation has returned. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My ice maker is producing less ice than usual. Could this fan be the cause?
Yes, this is one of the more common symptoms of a failing ice box fan. Since this fan circulates cold air specifically around the ice box area, reduced airflow from a struggling or seized motor can directly slow down ice production, even if the rest of the freezer seems to be cooling normally.
Items near the ice box seem to be warming up even though the freezer door is shut. Is that related?
Yes. If this fan isn't circulating air properly, the area around the ice box can lose consistent cooling even while the rest of the freezer stays cold, since that zone depends specifically on this fan for airflow. This localized warming, paired with reduced ice production, is a strong combined signal pointing to this fan.
Is this the same as a general evaporator fan motor?
No, this is a distinct component. The ice box fan motor circulates air specifically around the ice box area to support ice production and nearby cooling, while a general evaporator fan motor circulates air across the evaporator coil for the freezer and fresh food compartments more broadly. The two serve different roles and are not interchangeable — always confirm which fan your model needs using your parts diagram or model number.
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 motor design, blade fitment, and mounting configuration of the ice box fan motor originally installed in your refrigerator.
