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

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

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

XPARTCO EAU63103201 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
The XPARTCO EAU63103201 is an aftermarket replacement evaporator fan motor for LG and select Kenmore/Kenmore Elite refrigerators. On this platform, the fan sits behind a panel near the crisper drawers and circulates air specifically through the fresh food compartment — a different physical location than the freezer-mounted evaporator fans found on many other brands. When this motor slows down or fails, the fresh food section is the part of the refrigerator most directly affected, since it depends on this fan to keep cold air moving across the compartment.
Rated 12V DC at 1A with a 4-pin connector, this motor has a 2.36" (60mm) shaft length and a 0.12" (3.16mm) shaft diameter, with roughly a 20.5" (56cm) wire lead. Common failure modes include worn motor bearings that let the blade wobble or bind, and general electrical wear from age. A fridge running warm, not cold at all, or making unusual noise from behind the crisper area are all signs pointing to this motor. It directly replaces 4391461, AP6317185, PS11761147, EAP11761147, and PD00051700. Also identified by its production number, ODM-001F-41.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO EAU63103201 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor fixes LG and select Kenmore/Kenmore Elite refrigerators where the fresh food compartment runs too warm or isn't cooling at all, or there's unusual noise from behind the crisper drawer area.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access on this platform is different from many other brands: rather than removing a rear panel inside the freezer, slide the crisper drawer out fully, then remove the panel behind or above the drawer area to expose the fan motor. Photograph the wiring connector and the fan blade's position before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the 4-pin electrical connector from the old motor, remove the mounting screws or clips holding the motor bracket in place, and carefully pull the motor and fan blade assembly free. Transfer the fan blade to the new motor if a blade isn't included, matching the original orientation on the 60mm shaft. Mount the new EAU63103201 in the same position, reconnect the 4-pin connector fully, and confirm the blade spins freely by hand without contacting the housing before reassembling the panel and sliding the crisper drawer back into place. Restore power and monitor the fresh food compartment over the next several hours to confirm normal cooling has returned. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is this fan located near the crisper drawers instead of in the freezer?
LG's refrigerator platform routes cold air to the fresh food compartment differently than many other brands, with this particular fan positioned behind a panel near the crisper drawer area rather than inside the freezer compartment. That's simply a difference in refrigerator design between manufacturers — it doesn't affect the fan's job, which is still to keep cold air circulating through the fresh food section, but it does mean the access point for this repair looks different from what you might expect if you've worked on a different brand before.
My fridge section is warm but everything else seems fine. Is this the right part?
Yes, this is the classic symptom this motor addresses. Since this fan specifically circulates air through the fresh food compartment, a failure here tends to affect that section directly — a warm fridge with an otherwise normally-functioning freezer points squarely at this motor rather than at the compressor or refrigerant system.
There are several similar LG fan motor part numbers online. How do I know I have the right one?
LG's EAU-prefix fan motors can look similar at a glance, but they aren't interchangeable — for example, the EAU63923603/EAU65058305 assembly used on models like the LFXS28596S and LMXS28626S is a completely different part from this EAU63103201 motor. The safest way to confirm is to check your refrigerator's full model number against a verified compatibility list, or contact our support team with your model number before ordering.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine LG OEM part, but is manufactured to match the electrical specifications (12V DC, 1A, 4-pin connector), shaft dimensions, and mounting configuration of the original EAU63103201 evaporator fan motor used in compatible LG and Kenmore refrigerators.

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.

XPARTCO WR60X26866 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor (OE)
The XPARTCO WR60X26866 (OE — Original Equipment specification) is replacement axial evaporator fan motor built to OEM specifications, designed as a direct fit for the fresh food section of select GE French door refrigerators, including the CFE28, CFE29, CWE23, CYE22, CYE23, DFE28, DFE29, GFD28, GFE26, GFE27, GFE28, GFE29, GFS26, GFS28, GNE26, GNE29, GYE22, GYS22, PFD28, PFE28, PFE29, PWE23, PYD22, PYE22, PYE23, and ZWE23 series. The evaporator fan motor pulls air through the evaporator coils to remove heat from the circulating air inside the refrigerator. 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.

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.

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.
