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.

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.

XPARTCO XPC75-450R Round Run / Start Capacitor (CBB65, 7.5 MFD, 450V)
The XPARTCO XPC75-450R is a universal single run capacitor for single-phase AC motors. Unlike a dual run capacitor, which combines two capacitors into one can to serve both a compressor and a fan motor, this is a single capacitor with two terminals, sized for one motor circuit. Once a motor has started, this capacitor stays in the circuit continuously, correcting the phase of the current feeding the motor's auxiliary winding, which improves torque, efficiency, and running smoothness. This 7.5 MFD size is a very common rating for condenser fan motors, but the same CBB65-style capacitor is also widely used on pool pumps, small air compressors, washing machines, and other single-phase motor equipment.
Rated 7.5 MFD at 450VAC. Like all run capacitors, this one stores an electrical charge even after power is disconnected, and it should always be treated as energized until properly discharged. Over time, the dielectric material inside breaks down from heat and electrical stress, causing the capacitor to lose capacitance or fail outright. A failing run capacitor produces a recognizable symptom set: the motor hums but won't start, runs weakly, overheats, trips a breaker or overload protector, or the capacitor can itself becomes visibly bulged, domed, or leaks oily residue at the top.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO XPC75-450R Round Motor Run Capacitor fixes single-phase motor equipment — condenser fan motors, pool pumps, small compressors, and similar applications — where the motor hums but won't start, runs weakly, overheats, or trips its breaker or overload protector. 7.5 MFD, 450VAC, round CBB65-style capacitor, 2 terminals. Capacitors store a dangerous electrical charge even after power is disconnected — always discharge before handling.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Motor hums but won't start
Motor runs, but weakly or with reduced torque
Motor runs hot or trips its internal overload protector
Fan or pump won't start on its own but will run if given a manual push
Equipment trips the circuit breaker shortly after starting
Capacitor can visibly bulging, domed on top, or leaking oily residue
Motor that used to start slowly and has now stopped starting altogether

XPC75-450R
This is a universal component rather than a single-manufacturer part, so the specific OEM number your equipment's label references will vary by brand. This capacitor is a correct replacement for any single run capacitor matching the 7.5 MFD rating with a voltage rating of 450V or lower. If you have your original part number, contact our support team and we will verify compatibility before you order.
Compatibility
This single run capacitor is a universal replacement compatible with single-phase AC motor equipment across all major brands, wherever the original capacitor is rated:
7.5 MFD
370V, 440V, or 450V (this capacitor's 450V rating exceeds and safely replaces either lower rating)
Round can shape with 2 terminals
Common applications include central air conditioner and heat pump condenser fan motors, pool and spa pumps, small single-phase air compressors, and various single-phase motor equipment.
Note — single run, not dual: This is a single-motor capacitor with 2 terminals, distinct from our dual run capacitors (such as the XPDC80X5-450R and similar listings), which combine two capacitors and 3 terminals to serve both a compressor and a fan motor from one can. If your equipment's original capacitor has 3 terminals labeled C, Herm, and Fan, you need a dual capacitor instead of this single one. The MFD rating must match your original capacitor exactly; voltage rating can be equal to or higher than the original, but never lower. Always verify your original capacitor's specifications, printed on its can, before ordering. Contact our support team if you'd like help confirming compatibility.
Key Features
Universal single run capacitor for single-phase AC motors
7.5 MFD rating in a compact round can — a common size for condenser fan motors and similar equipment
450VAC rating — a safe upgrade replacement for equipment originally speced at 370V or 440V
Round CBB65-style can construction
Resolves "hums but won't start," "runs weakly," "overheats," and "trips the breaker" symptoms caused by capacitor failure
2 quick-connect terminals for a direct plug-on fit to standard motor wiring

Installation Notes
⚠️ Danger — Capacitors Store A Dangerous Electrical Charge Shut off power to the equipment at the disconnect box and at the breaker before beginning. A capacitor stores an electrical charge even after power has been disconnected, and that charge can deliver a serious or fatal shock. Before touching either terminal, discharge the capacitor by shorting the two terminals together using an insulated-handle screwdriver, or by using a proper capacitor discharge tool with a resistor. Never short the terminals with a bare metal tool held with your bare hand. If you are not fully comfortable performing a capacitor discharge safely, have a qualified technician replace this part instead.
⚠️ Photograph The Wiring Before Disconnecting Wear work gloves and safety glasses. After confirming the capacitor is fully discharged, photograph the wiring on the old capacitor's terminals before disconnecting anything. Note which wire came from which terminal, or label them individually with tape. Remove the mounting strap or bracket holding the old capacitor in its housing, and disconnect each wire from its terminal. Install the new XPC75-450R in the same mounting position, secure it with the strap or bracket, and reconnect each wire to its matching terminal exactly as labeled. Double-check both connections before restoring power. Restore power at the breaker and disconnect box, and confirm the motor starts promptly and runs smoothly. Tools needed: insulated-handle screwdriver or capacitor discharge tool, nut driver, work gloves, safety glasses.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need this single capacitor or a dual run capacitor?
Look at your old capacitor's terminals. If it has only 2 terminals serving one motor circuit, this single capacitor is the correct type. If it has 3 terminals labeled C, Herm, and Fan (or similar), it's a dual capacitor serving both a compressor and a fan motor from one can, and you'll need a dual capacitor such as our XPDC-series listings instead. The two types are not interchangeable.
Can I use a 450V capacitor to replace my old 370V or 440V one?
Yes. Voltage rating is a ceiling, not an exact match requirement — a capacitor rated for a higher voltage than your original will work safely and often lasts longer under the same electrical stress. What you cannot do is go the other direction: never install a capacitor with a lower voltage rating than your original, since that risks premature failure or the capacitor breaking down under normal operating conditions.
My fan or pump motor hums but won't start. Is this the capacitor?
It's one of the most common causes of exactly that symptom. A run capacitor gives the motor the extra push needed to start turning; without it working correctly, the motor can draw power and hum in place without ever actually starting to spin. If you can see the capacitor can and it looks bulged, domed on top, or is leaking a brown oily residue, that's strong visual confirmation of failure.
Is this a genuine OEM part?
This is a universal replacement part rather than a brand-specific OEM part. Because run capacitors are a standardized component defined by their electrical specifications rather than their manufacturer, this capacitor is a correct replacement for any equipment's original capacitor that shares the same 7.5 MFD, 450VAC, round rating — regardless of which brand originally installed it.

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.

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.
