XPARTCO DA81-06013A Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
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.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DA81-06013A Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor fixes Samsung French door and bottom-mount refrigerators where the fridge or freezer is too warm, cooling is poor, frost builds up on the evaporator coils, unusual noise comes from the freezer, or the ice maker stops working.

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.

WR60X10209 (OE) Refrigerator Condenser Fan Motor
The WR60X10209 is an OE (Original Equipment) DC condenser fan motor for GE refrigerators. 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 across the condenser coils to help dissipate heat from the hot refrigerant before it moves on to the evaporator, keeping the compressor from overheating and the whole system running efficiently.
Rated 11.3V DC, 2.2W, with a 4-pin plastic plug carrying 4 wires (white, blue, red, and yellow). The motor shaft measures 1/8" in diameter and 2-7/8" long. Common failure causes include worn motor bearings, dirty or obstructed condenser coils forcing the motor to work harder than intended, and general electrical wear. Symptoms include increased noise when the freezer door is opened, warm temperatures inside the refrigerator, and — left unaddressed — compressor overheating and food spoilage from a refrigerator that can no longer maintain temperature. It directly replaces WR60X10042, WR60X10053, WR60X10065, WR60X10080, WR60X10081, WR60X10155, WR60X10216, WR60X24483, AP4265957, and PS1483567.
Quick Answer
The WR60X10209 (OE) Refrigerator Condenser Fan Motor fixes GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and select Kenmore refrigerators with increased noise near the compressor compartment, warm temperatures inside the fridge, or early signs of compressor overheating. 11.3V DC, 2.2W, 4-pin/4-wire plug, 1/8" x 2-7/8" shaft. Replaces WR60X10042, WR60X10053, WR60X10065, WR60X10080, WR60X10081, WR60X10155, WR60X10216, WR60X24483, AP4265957, PS1483567. This is the 12V DC condenser fan — if your refrigerator needs a 120V motor, see our WR60X10220 listing instead.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Increased noise near the compressor compartment or when the freezer door is opened
Warm temperatures inside the refrigerator
Refrigerator running constantly as it struggles to maintain temperature
Compressor overheating from restricted airflow around the condenser coils
Food spoilage from a refrigerator that can't hold a consistent temperature
Fan blade that doesn't spin freely, or doesn't spin at all, when checked by hand
What Is an OE Part?
OE (Original Equipment) means this part is manufactured by the same original supplier that produces the Genuine OEM version — identical fit, materials, and performance. The only difference is packaging: OE parts ship under our XPARTCO brand rather than the appliance manufacturer's branded box, which is why they can't be listed as Genuine OEM. You get factory-original quality at a more affordable price.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Danger — Authorized Service Part Required For Flammable Refrigerant Systems GE's own service guidance carries an explicit warning for this component: it is a manufacturer-authorized service part intended for use in refrigerator models that use a flammable refrigerant, such as R600a. Using an unauthorized or incorrectly rated service part in a unit that uses a flammable refrigerant could lead to a risk of fire or explosion. Before ordering or installing, confirm your refrigerator's refrigerant type and verify this part is correct for your specific model. If you have any doubt about your refrigerant type or the correct part for your unit, contact our support team with your model number before proceeding, or have a qualified appliance technician perform this repair.
⚠️ 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 4-pin plug 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. Mount the new WR60X10209 in the same position, reconnect the 4-pin plug fully, 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. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is there a fire/explosion warning on this part?
Some refrigerators use a flammable refrigerant, such as R600a (isobutane), instead of older non-flammable refrigerants. Electrical components like fan motors sit near refrigerant lines and can be a source of ignition if a leak were ever present, which is why GE specifically requires an authorized, correctly rated service part for these systems rather than a generic substitute. This isn't a concern unique to this listing — it reflects GE's general guidance for electrical components used in flammable-refrigerant refrigerators, and confirming your model and refrigerant type before ordering is the appropriate precaution.
My refrigerator is noisy and runs warm. Is this the condenser fan?
It's a strong possibility, especially if the noise seems to come from the back or bottom of the unit and you notice both symptoms together. Without proper airflow across the condenser coils, heat builds up in the machine compartment, which reduces the whole refrigeration cycle's efficiency and shows up as warmer-than-normal temperatures throughout the fridge.
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.
Is this a genuine OEM part?
This is an OE (Original Equipment) part sold under our XPARTCO brand. OE parts are manufactured by the same original supplier that produces the Genuine OEM part, so the fit, materials, and performance are identical — the difference is that OE parts ship in XPARTCO packaging rather than the appliance manufacturer's branded box, which is why we can't list them as Genuine OEM. This gives you factory-original quality at a more affordable price than the branded version.

WR60X31522 GE Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
The WR60X31522 is a OE 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. Installs in 30–45 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 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.

W11645245 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Dual Water Valve
The W11645245 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM dual water inlet valve for Whirlpool-built refrigerators. Mounted at the rear of the refrigerator where the household water line connects, this single valve is the central control point for water flow to two separate features: the ice maker and the door-mounted water dispenser. When either feature calls for water, this valve's solenoids open to admit it and close again once the request is satisfied — since one valve handles both jobs, a failure here can affect the ice maker, the dispenser, or both at the same time.
Common causes of failure include mineral and sediment buildup from the household water supply interfering with the valve's internal operation over time, and electrical faults either in the valve itself or in the refrigerator's electronic control board that signals it. A failing dual water valve produces a recognizable set of symptoms: the door dispenser stops delivering water, the ice maker slows down, stops producing ice, or fails intermittently, water leaking around the valve area, or an audible electronic buzzing or humming sound coming from the back of the refrigerator. It directly replaces AP7208917, W11546685, W11446818, W11563296, and PS16875686. As a genuine OEM part, the W11645245 is manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
Quick Answer
The W11645245 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Dual Water Valve fixes Whirlpool-built refrigerators where the door water dispenser stops working, the ice maker slows down or stops making ice, there's a leak near the valve at the back of the refrigerator, or you hear an electronic buzzing or humming sound. Controls water flow to both the ice maker and water dispenser from a single valve. Replaces AP7208917, W11546685, W11446818, W11563296, PS16875686. Before replacing, rule out a simple mineral clog and a faulty control board signal — both can produce identical symptoms to a failed valve.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Water dispenser on the refrigerator door has stopped working
Ice maker has slowed down, stopped producing ice, or is malfunctioning intermittently
Both the ice maker and water dispenser affected at the same time
Water leaking around the valve area at the back of the refrigerator

Installation Notes
⚠️ Shut Off Water Supply And Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Have A Towel Ready Disconnect power at the outlet, and shut off the water supply valve behind or below the refrigerator before beginning. Wear work gloves. Pull the refrigerator away from the wall for access, then locate the valve at the rear or bottom of the cabinet where the water supply line connects. Have a towel or shallow pan ready, since residual water will spill out when you disconnect the line. Photograph the wiring and water line connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the water supply line from the old valve, disconnect the electrical connector, and remove the mounting screws holding it in place, then pull the valve free. Install the new W11645245 in the same position, secure the mounting screws, and reconnect the electrical connector fully. Reattach the water supply line, tightening securely by hand plus a partial turn with pliers — avoid overtightening plastic threaded fittings. Restore the water supply and check the connection for leaks before restoring power. Push the refrigerator back into place, then test both the ice maker and water dispenser over the next day to confirm normal operation has returned. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, adjustable wrench or pliers, towel or shallow pan, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dispenser stopped working but the ice maker still works. Is this the right part?
It's possible, but worth checking a couple of things first, since this valve serves both features from one unit. Confirm the water supply line isn't kinked or restricted, and check the inline water filter for a clog, since a blocked filter can starve the dispenser specifically while the ice maker (which may draw from a different point in the flow path depending on your model) keeps working. If the filter and supply line are clear and the dispenser still won't deliver water, the valve itself is the likely cause.
I hear a buzzing or humming sound from the back of the fridge. What does that mean?
This is a common symptom of a valve that's receiving an electrical signal to open but isn't passing water through correctly — the solenoid coil energizes and hums, but water flow is restricted or absent, often due to internal mineral buildup or a failing internal mechanism. If you hear this sound whenever the ice maker or dispenser is called on, the valve is a strong suspect.
Could the problem actually be my water filter instead of this valve?
Yes, it's worth ruling out first. A clogged inline water filter can produce very similar symptoms to a failing valve — reduced dispenser flow, slow ice production, or both. Try replacing the water filter first if it's been a while since the last change; if symptoms persist afterward, the dual water valve is the more likely cause.
Could this be a control board issue instead of the valve?
It's possible. This valve is triggered electrically by the refrigerator's control board, so a fault there can produce symptoms that look identical to a failed valve — no water reaching the ice maker or dispenser even though the valve itself is fine. If replacing the valve doesn't resolve the issue, the control board is the next component worth investigating.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It includes the same dual-function solenoid design and connection configuration as the valve originally installed in your refrigerator.
