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.

AEB73764520 Genuine OEM LG Refrigerator Fan Grille Assembly
The AEB73764520 is a genuine LG OEM fan grille assembly for LG refrigerators. This grille sits around the evaporator fan, holding and directing the air the fan pushes so cold air is guided evenly throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments rather than dispersing unevenly right at the fan. It also serves a protective role, shielding the spinning fan blade from accidental contact while still allowing full, unrestricted airflow through its vents.
Made of durable plastic, this grille can crack, warp, or break over time from the cold temperature cycling inside the freezer compartment, or from accidental impact during cleaning or organizing frozen food. A damaged grille typically shows up as uneven cooling or airflow within the compartment, since air isn't being properly guided and distributed, or in cases of significant damage, a fan blade that's no longer adequately shielded. Because parts that look similar can have small but meaningful differences in size and shape, it's important to confirm this exact part number matches your refrigerator before ordering, rather than relying on general appearance.

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 to protect your hands. Access is typically through the freezer's rear interior panel: remove shelving and bins as needed, then remove the screws securing the back panel to expose the evaporator fan area where the grille is mounted. Photograph the grille's orientation and any mounting clips or screws before removing it. Carefully remove the old grille from around the fan, taking care not to contact the fan blade itself. Install the new AEB73764520 grille in the same position, securing any clips or screws to hold it firmly in place. Reassemble the back panel, restore power, and monitor the refrigerator over the next 24 hours to confirm even, consistent cooling has returned. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My cooling seems uneven, with some areas colder than others. Could this grille be the cause?
Yes, this is possible if the grille is cracked, warped, or has come loose. This grille's job is to guide the evaporator fan's airflow evenly throughout the compartment, so damage or misalignment can cause cold air to concentrate in some areas while other spots don't get adequate circulation.
Why does this part need to match my model so precisely?
Fan grille assemblies that look very similar at a glance can have small differences in size and shape between different LG refrigerator platforms, since the grille has to fit precisely around the specific fan and duct assembly used in your model. Ordering based on a general resemblance rather than confirming your exact model number risks a poor fit that doesn't seat or seal correctly.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by LG to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original mounting and airflow design of the fan grille assembly originally installed in your refrigerator.

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.

WR60X10318 Genuine OEM GE Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
The WR60X10318 is a genuine GE OEM evaporator fan motor assembly used in side-by-side refrigerators, complete with an integrated 2-wire thermistor built right into its 6-pin wiring harness. This motor draws air across the evaporator coil and circulates it through both the fresh food and freezer compartments, while the built-in thermistor reports temperature back to the control board so it can regulate cooling accurately. Because the thermistor and fan motor arrive as a single assembly, a fault in either function shows up together, and replacing this one part addresses both.
The harness and plug measure approximately 13-7/8" in length. Common failure causes include worn motor bearings that eventually seize the shaft entirely, debris or ice buildup around the fan blade, and general electrical wear over time. On this side-by-side platform, a classic failure sequence is a bearing that starts out noisy, then progressively worsens until the motor freezes up completely — once the fan stops moving air, the evaporator coil often ices over heavily since moisture keeps accumulating with nowhere for the resulting cold air to go. Symptoms include unusual noise from the freezer, inconsistent or warm temperatures in either compartment, visible frost buildup on the coil, and a refrigerator that runs continuously trying to compensate. It directly replaces AP4981643, PS3487992, EAP3487992, and 1812462.
Quick Answer
The WR60X10318 Genuine OEM GE Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor fixes GE side-by-side refrigerators with unusual noise from the freezer, warm or inconsistent temperatures, frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coil, or a refrigerator running constantly.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Side-by-Side Units May Have Tight Clearance Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning, and move perishable food to a cooler for the duration of the repair. Wear work gloves. On side-by-side models, access can be tight: you may need to remove the rear interior panel, the ice maker, and a fan cover to reach the motor, so budget extra time and patience compared to a simpler platform. If the evaporator coil is heavily iced over, let the unit sit unplugged with the door open for several hours, or run a manual defrost, before continuing — ice can make the old motor difficult to remove cleanly and may be masking the actual point of failure. Photograph the 6-pin wiring harness connector and the fan blade's orientation before disconnecting anything. Remove the mounting screws holding the fan assembly in place, unplug the wiring harness connector, and slide the old assembly out of its housing. Slide the new WR60X10318 assembly into the same housing, secure it with the mounting screws, and reconnect the harness connector fully. Confirm the blade spins freely by hand without contacting the housing before reassembling the fan cover, ice maker, and rear panel. Restore power, open the door to test the fan, and monitor both compartments over the next 24 hours to confirm even, consistent cooling has returned. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" and 5/16" nut drivers, work gloves, and a headlamp or flashlight for visibility in tight spaces.
Frequently Asked Questions
My freezer is heavily iced over and both compartments are warm. Is this the fan motor?
Yes, this is a very common failure sequence on this platform. Once the evaporator fan motor's bearings wear out and the motor slows or seizes, air stops circulating away from the coil, moisture keeps condensing on it, and ice builds up heavily. Once that happens, both the freezer and fresh food compartments typically lose cooling together, since neither is getting circulated cold air anymore. Thawing the ice and confirming the fan motor doesn't spin freely by hand will confirm this diagnosis.
Does this include the thermistor, or do I need to buy that separately?
It's included. This assembly ships with a 2-wire thermistor built directly into the 6-pin wiring harness, so you don't need to source or install a separate thermistor component — replacing this one part addresses both the fan motor and the thermistor together.
Why is access so tight on my side-by-side refrigerator?
Side-by-side refrigerators tend to pack components more tightly than French door or top-freezer models, and this evaporator fan often sits behind the ice maker and a dedicated fan cover in addition to the rear interior panel. Removing all of these takes more time than a simpler platform, but the fan motor itself installs the same straightforward way once you have access — a headlamp or flashlight helps considerably in the tighter space.
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 includes the same motor design, fan blade, integrated thermistor, and 6-pin harness configuration as the evaporator fan motor assembly originally installed in your side-by-side refrigerator.

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.

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.

XPARTCO EAU63923603 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
The XPARTCO EAU63923603 is an aftermarket replacement evaporator fan motor assembly compatible with a wide range of LG and Kenmore LG-built French door, side-by-side, and bottom-freezer refrigerators — including the LFCC, LFCS, LFXC, LFXS, LMXC, LMXS, LRDCS, LRFCS, LRFDS, LRFWS, LRFXS, LRMVS, LRMXC, and LRMXS series. The evaporator fan motor draws air across the cold evaporator coils and circulates it through the fresh food compartment. This constant airflow is what keeps the refrigerator section at temperature. When the fan motor fails, the most telling symptom is that the refrigerator section runs warm while the freezer stays cold — because the coils are still producing cold, but nothing is moving that air up into the fridge.
Electrical specs: DC 12V, 1.0A, with a 4-pin connector. Motor body: 75 x 55 x 25 mm. Shaft: 46 mm (1.81") long, 3.0 mm diameter. Lead length: 70 cm (27.5"). Housing made from durable ABS plastic with quality metal internal components. It directly replaces EAU63923603, EAU65058305, EAU63923606, AP6317197, PS12383671, EAP12383671, and PD00045140. Note: this is an upgraded replacement design — the motor body may look slightly larger than your original, but the mounting holes and connector locations are identical, so fit and compatibility are unchanged.

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 behind the rear evaporator access panel. Remove the shelves, drawers, and any items blocking access to the back wall of the compartment. If there's frost or ice buildup on the panel or coils, allow it to thaw completely before continuing — never chip or pry ice off the evaporator coils, as the aluminum fins damage easily and a damaged coil is a far more expensive repair. Remove the screws securing the rear access panel and lift it away to expose the evaporator coils and fan motor. Photograph the wiring connection, fan blade position, and motor orientation before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the 4-pin wiring connector by gently pulling the plug. Remove the fan blade from the motor shaft (note its orientation — it must go back the same way), then remove the mounting screws holding the motor in place and lift out the old motor. Install the new EAU63923603 motor in the same position and orientation — the mounting holes and connector location match the original even though the body may look slightly larger. Secure the mounting hardware, reinstall the fan blade on the 3.0 mm shaft, and reconnect the 4-pin wiring connector until it seats firmly. Confirm the fan blade spins freely by hand without rubbing on any surrounding surface. Reinstall the rear access panel, shelves, and drawers. 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, nut driver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My refrigerator section is warm but the freezer is still cold — is this the fan motor?
This is the single most common and telling symptom of a failed evaporator fan motor. Here's why: the evaporator coils (which produce the cold) sit in the freezer section, and the evaporator fan is what pushes that cold air into the fresh food compartment. When the fan motor fails, the freezer stays cold (it's right next to the coils) but the fridge warms up because no air is being circulated to it. If your freezer is cold and your fridge is warm, the evaporator fan motor is the prime suspect. You can confirm by listening for the fan when the compressor runs, or by opening the rear evaporator panel to see if the fan spins.
The new motor looks bigger than my old one — is it the right part?
Yes — this is an upgraded replacement design, and it's normal for the motor body to appear slightly larger than the original LG unit. What matters is that the mounting holes and connector locations are identical to the original, so it bolts into the same position and plugs into the same 4-pin harness. The shaft (46 mm long, 3.0 mm diameter) also matches, so your existing fan blade transfers over. Compatibility is unchanged. If you have any concern, compare the mounting hole spacing and the connector to your old motor before installing.
Why is my evaporator fan making noise?
A noisy evaporator fan usually means one of two things: the motor bearings are wearing out (producing grinding, buzzing, or squealing), or the fan blade is rubbing against frost or ice that has built up around it. If frost buildup is the cause, that often points to a secondary problem in the defrost system (defrost heater, sensor, or control) allowing ice to accumulate where it shouldn't. Replacing a worn-out fan motor resolves the bearing noise. If heavy frost keeps returning after replacement, investigate the defrost system next.
LG has several similar fan motors — how do I know this is the right one?
LG uses several different evaporator fan motors across its refrigerator lineup, and while they look similar, they differ in voltage, current, shaft dimensions, and connector style. The EAU63923603 is a DC 12V / 1.0A motor with a 4-pin connector, 46 mm shaft, and 70 cm lead, used across the LFCC/LFCS/LFXC/LFXS/LMXC/LMXS/LRDCS/LRFCS/LRFDS/LRFWS/LRFXS/LRMVS/LRMXC/LRMXS series. Before ordering, find the part number printed on your old motor and confirm it's EAU63923603 or one of the listed cross-references (EAU65058305, EAU63923606, AP6317197, PS12383671). If your motor shows a different number, contact our support team with your model number and we'll confirm the correct motor.
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 with an ABS housing and quality metal internal components to match the electrical specifications (DC 12V, 1.0A), 4-pin connector, shaft dimensions (46 mm x 3.0 mm), mounting hole pattern, and cooling function of the original EAU63923603 evaporator fan motor used in compatible LG and Kenmore LG-built refrigerators.

XPARTCO WR60X10074 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
The XPARTCO WR60X10074 is an aftermarket replacement evaporator fan motor with thermistor for GE and Hotpoint refrigerators. This motor is located at the back of the freezer and circulates air across the evaporator coils, which convert refrigerant into cooling capacity — the fan is what carries that cooled air into both the freezer and fresh food compartments. Bundled with this motor is a separate thermistor that snaps onto the top portion of the evaporator and sends temperature signals back to the main control board, letting it regulate cooling accurately.
Rated 9.75V DC, 3.25W — the same base motor used in our WR60X10185 listing, but this version ships with the thermistor included. GE's own guidance is direct on this point: the thermistor should be replaced at the same time as the evaporator fan, since the two are serviced together under this part number rather than sold and swapped independently. Common failure causes include worn motor bearings and general electrical wear. Symptoms include unusual noise from the freezer, a refrigerator or freezer section running too warm, or inconsistent temperatures overall. It directly replaces AP3191003, 914169, 197D4492G001, and 197D2039P013.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WR60X10074 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor fixes GE and Hotpoint refrigerators with unusual noise from the freezer, a refrigerator or freezer section running too warm, or inconsistent cooling overall. 9.75V DC, 3.25W, includes thermistor. Replaces AP3191003, 914169, 197D4492G001, 197D2039P013. This is the motor-plus-thermistor version — if your old connector has no thermistor wire, you need our WR60X10185 listing instead; this is also a different assembly from our WR60X10318 side-by-side listing, which has the thermistor integrated into the motor's own harness rather than as a separate snap-on piece.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Unusual noise — humming, buzzing, or grinding — coming from the freezer
Fresh food compartment or freezer running too warm
Inconsistent or fluctuating refrigerator temperatures
Refrigerator running constantly as it struggles to maintain temperature
Fan motor that has gone silent after previously running normally
Fan blade that doesn't spin freely, or doesn't spin at all, when checked by hand

Compatibility
This evaporator fan motor is compatible with select GE and Hotpoint refrigerators, including model numbers such as DSS25PFMCCC.
Note — check your connector before ordering: This motor includes the thermistor. If your old motor's connector has no thermistor wire — a plain 4-wire harness with 2 empty pin slots on a 6-pin connector — you need our WR60X10185 listing instead (no thermistor). If your connector has a dedicated light connector, you need WR23X10467. This part is also a separate assembly from our WR60X10318 listing, a side-by-side platform motor with the thermistor built directly into its own 6-pin harness rather than snapping onto the evaporator as a separate piece. Even between similar GE thermistor-equipped motors, always verify your full model number, since GE support has confirmed these are not automatically interchangeable without checking your specific model. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure which motor your refrigerator needs.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Replace The Thermistor Along With The Motor Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning, and move perishable food to a cooler for the duration of the repair. Wear work gloves. Access is through the freezer's rear interior panel: remove shelving and bins as needed, then remove the screws securing the back panel to expose the evaporator coil, fan, and thermistor. If there's significant frost or ice around the fan or coil, let the unit sit unplugged with the door open for a few hours, or run a manual defrost, before continuing. Photograph the wiring harness connector, the fan blade's orientation, and the thermistor's snap-on position before disconnecting anything. Unplug 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. Unsnap the old thermistor from the top of the evaporator and disconnect its wiring as well. Install both the new motor and the new thermistor together, even if only one of them tested as failed — GE's own guidance is to replace the thermistor whenever the evaporator fan is replaced, since they're serviced as a pair under this part number. Mount the new motor in the same position, reconnect the wiring harness connector, and snap the new thermistor onto the same spot on the evaporator, reconnecting its wiring. Confirm the fan blade spins freely by hand without contacting the housing before reassembling the back panel. Restore power and monitor both compartments over the next 24 hours to confirm even, consistent cooling has returned. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need to replace the thermistor if only the fan motor stopped working?
GE's official guidance is yes — the thermistor should be replaced along with the evaporator fan whenever this part number is used, since they're sold and serviced together as a pair rather than as fully independent components. That said, some technicians have successfully replaced just the fan motor alone in certain situations; if you want to attempt a fan-only swap, test your existing thermistor first and keep in mind this isn't the manufacturer-recommended approach.
How do I know if I need this motor or the WR60X10185 (no thermistor) version?
Look at your old motor's electrical connector before ordering. This WR60X10074 motor comes with a thermistor — if your connector has a thermistor wire running to it, this is the correct part. If your connector is a plain 4-wire harness with no thermistor wire and two empty pin positions on a 6-pin plug, you need our WR60X10185 listing instead, which does not include a thermistor.
My fridge isn't cooling but the fan seems to spin fine. Could it still be this part?
Yes — if the fan is spinning but the fridge still isn't cooling properly, the thermistor half of this assembly is worth suspecting, since a faulty thermistor can send incorrect temperature readings to the control board even while the fan motor itself works fine. One customer confirmed their control board and thermistor initially "checked good" before eventually tracing a similar symptom to fan circulation — so it's worth testing both components rather than assuming the fan alone is the 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 GE OEM part, but is manufactured to match the 9.75V, 3.25W motor design, blade fitment, and thermistor function of the original WR60X10074 evaporator fan motor and thermistor used in compatible GE and Hotpoint refrigerators.

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.
