XPARTCO DA31-00334C Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
The XPARTCO DA31-00334C is an aftermarket replacement evaporator fan motor for Samsung bottom-mount and side-by-side refrigerators. This small brushless DC (BLDC) motor sits behind the freezer's rear panel, directly in front of the evaporator coil, and its job is to pull cold air off that coil and push it through the duct system into both the freezer and fresh food compartments. Without it circulating air, the coil itself keeps getting cold, but that cold air never reaches your food — the freezer may still work reasonably well since it sits closer to the coil, while the fresh food side drifts warmer and warmer since it depends entirely on ducted airflow from the back.
Rated at 12V DC, 2.5W, 0.12A, running at approximately 1,870 RPM. As a brushless design, this motor has no physical brushes to wear out, so failure typically comes from a worn bearing that lets the blade wobble or bind, a winding that has burned out electrically, or a blade that has become jammed by a chunk of built-up frost or freezer debris. It directly replaces DA31-00287B, DA31-00334A, DA31-00305A, DA96-00968A, AP6803162, 3954921, AP5948644, PS9494284, EAP9494284, PS12590897, and EAP12590897. Also compatible with select Kenmore refrigerators built on the Samsung platform.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DA31-00334C Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor fixes Samsung bottom-mount and side-by-side refrigerators with uneven cooling, a fresh food compartment that's warmer than it should be, frost or ice buildup at the back or bottom of the freezer, or a grinding/buzzing noise from inside the cabinet. Brushless DC (BLDC) motor, 12V DC, 2.5W, 0.12A, ~1,870 RPM. Replaces DA31-00287B, DA31-00334A, DA31-00305A, DA96-00968A, AP6803162, 3954921, AP5948644, PS9494284, EAP9494284, PS12590897, EAP12590897.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Let The Freezer Thaw If Iced Over Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning, and remove all food from the freezer to a cooler for the duration of the repair. Wear work gloves. Access is through the freezer's rear interior panel: remove the shelving and bins as needed, then remove the screws securing the back panel and set it aside to expose the evaporator coil and fan assembly. If you see significant frost or ice buildup 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, since ice can be masking the actual point of failure and can also make the old motor difficult to remove cleanly. Photograph the wiring harness connector and the fan blade's orientation 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 — on many models the blade is a separate piece that pulls off the motor shaft. Transfer the fan blade to the new motor if it isn't included, or install the new blade supplied with this motor, matching the original orientation. Mount the new DA31-00334C in the same position, reconnect the wiring harness connector fully, and confirm the 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 cooling has returned. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My freezer seems fine but the fresh food section is warm. Is this really the fan motor?
Yes, this is a very common and telling symptom pattern. The freezer compartment sits right next to the evaporator coil and can stay reasonably cold through simple proximity even with poor air circulation, but the fresh food compartment depends entirely on the fan pushing cold air through the ducting to reach it. When the fan motor fails or slows down, the fresh food side is usually the first and most noticeably affected area, while the freezer may seem to lag only slightly behind.
I hear a grinding or buzzing noise that stops when I open the freezer door. What does that mean?
This is a classic symptom of a worn fan motor bearing or a blade that's catching on built-up frost. Opening the door often triggers the refrigerator's internal light switch or door sensor, which can cut power to the fan momentarily — the noise stops because the fan stops spinning, then resumes once the door closes and the fan restarts. If you can see or reach the fan blade with the freezer open, check whether it spins freely and smoothly by hand; a blade that wobbles, binds, or contacts the housing points to the motor as the cause.
There's a lot of frost around the back panel of my freezer. Should I fix that before replacing the fan?
It's worth understanding which came first. Excess frost can be a cause of fan failure — a jammed blade can burn out the motor over time — or a result of it, since poor air circulation lets moisture condense and freeze unevenly around the coil area. Either way, thawing the ice out fully before you install the new motor makes the repair easier and lets you confirm the blade spins freely once everything is defrosted, rather than immediately jamming again on refrozen ice.
Do I need to transfer the fan blade from my old motor?
It depends on what's included with your specific order — check whether a blade came with your new motor before removing the old one. If a blade is not included, the blade from your original motor typically pulls off the shaft and can be transferred over. Photograph the blade's orientation on the shaft before removing it so you can reinstall it the same way; an improperly oriented blade can affect airflow or contact the housing.
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, 2.5W, 0.12A, ~1,870 RPM), brushless motor design, and mounting configuration of the original DA31-00334C evaporator fan motor used in compatible Samsung and Kenmore refrigerators.

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.

XPARTCO W11224591 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
The XPARTCO W11224591 is an aftermarket replacement freezer evaporator fan motor assembly compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore bottom-mount French door refrigerators. The evaporator fan motor is located in the freezer compartment behind the rear panel — it draws cold air across the evaporator coils and circulates it throughout both the freezer and the fresh food compartment. This constant air movement is what keeps temperatures even and food fresh. When the fan motor fails, the most common symptom is telling: the refrigerator (fresh food) compartment stops cooling while the freezer stays cold but doesn't reach full capacity, because the fan is no longer moving the cold air up into the fridge section.
This is a complete assembly that includes the fan motor, wiring harness, temperature sensor (thermistor), and defrost thermostat — everything integrated into one replaceable unit. Finished in white. As a direct replacement for the Whirlpool W11224591, it also replaces AP6329809, W10865431, W10728111, W11215582, 4844712, and PS12349521. Motor failure typically results from normal wear, obstruction from frost or debris rubbing the fan blade, or motor winding issues. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO W11224591 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and Amana bottom-mount French door refrigerators where the fridge section is warm but the freezer is cold, temperatures are uneven, frost builds up on the coils, or unusual noise comes from the freezer compartment.

⚠️ 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 in the freezer compartment behind the rear access panel. Remove all freezer shelves, drawers, and the ice maker (if equipped) to clear access to the back wall. If there's frost or ice buildup on the rear panel or coils, allow the freezer to thaw completely before continuing — never chip or pry ice off the evaporator coils, as the aluminum fins damage easily. Remove the screws securing the rear freezer access panel and lift it away to expose the evaporator coils and fan motor assembly. Photograph the wiring harness connections and the fan motor orientation before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the wire harness connectors from the old assembly and release it from its mounting points. Lift out the old fan motor assembly. Install the new W11224591 assembly using the original mounting points and connectors — since this is a complete assembly, the fan motor, harness, temperature sensor, and defrost thermostat all transfer as one unit. Reconnect the wiring harness, matching your photos. Confirm the fan blade spins freely by hand without rubbing on any surrounding surface. Reinstall the rear access panel, shelves, drawers, and ice maker. Plug the refrigerator back in and allow several hours for the unit to return to its set temperature before reloading with food. Test airflow and temperature consistency before considering the job complete. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" 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 on these bottom-mount French door refrigerators. Here's why: the evaporator coils (which produce the cold) are in the freezer, and the evaporator fan is what pushes that cold air up into the fresh food compartment. When the fan motor fails, the freezer stays cold (it's right next to the coils) but the fridge section 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 running when the compressor is on, or opening the freezer rear panel to see if the fan spins.
What's included with this part — is it just the motor?
This is a complete assembly, not just the bare motor. It includes the fan motor, the wiring harness, the temperature sensor (thermistor), and the defrost thermostat — all integrated into one unit. This is actually an advantage: since these components live together in the freezer compartment and can each cause cooling problems, replacing them as a bundle addresses multiple potential failure points in a single repair, reducing the chance you'll be back in the freezer compartment a few months later for a related part.
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 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 with the defrost system (defrost heater, thermostat, or control) allowing ice to accumulate where it shouldn't. Since this replacement assembly includes a new defrost thermostat, it addresses one of the common defrost-related causes. If heavy frost keeps returning after replacement, the defrost heater or control board should be investigated next.
Do I need to defrost the freezer before installing this?
If there's frost or ice buildup on the rear freezer panel or evaporator coils, yes — clear it before installing the new assembly. Leave the freezer empty and unplugged with the door open for several hours (longer for heavy ice) to let everything thaw naturally, placing towels at the base to catch melt water. Never chip or pry ice off the evaporator coils with a tool — the aluminum fins are delicate and a damaged coil is a far more expensive repair. Once everything is fully thawed and dried, proceed with the fan motor replacement.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the fit, mounting points, connector configuration, and function of the original W11224591 evaporator fan motor assembly used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, and Kenmore bottom-mount French door refrigerators — including the integrated harness, temperature sensor, and defrost thermostat.

XPARTCO WR60X10185 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
The XPARTCO WR60X10185 is an aftermarket replacement evaporator fan motor located in the freezer compartment, for GE, Hotpoint, and select Kenmore, Haier, Monogram, and Café refrigerators. This motor pulls air across the evaporator coils to strip heat from it, then circulates that cold air through the freezer and, via ducting, to the fresh food compartment. This particular motor does not include a thermistor — it ships as a fan motor with a 4-wire harness on a 6-pin connector, with two of those six pin slots left empty. If your refrigerator's original connector has a white thermistor wire in it, or a separate connector for a freezer light, this is not the correct motor for your unit.
Rated 9.75V DC, 3.25W. A fan motor generally has a long service life, but it can burn out quickly if debris or ice buildup obstructs the blade and forces the motor to work against resistance it wasn't designed for. Common symptoms of a failing motor include unusual noise from the freezer, a fresh food compartment that's warmer than it should be while the freezer stays reasonably cold, frost or ice accumulating around the fan or coil, and a refrigerator that runs constantly trying to compensate for lost circulation. It directly replaces AP3875639, 1170107, 197D2039P007, 197D2039P008, PS1019114, EAP1019114, WR23X10346, WR23X10350, WR23X10353, WR23X10355, WR23X10364, WR23X10404, WR23X10405, WR23X10406, WR60X10043, WR60X10059, WR60X10068, WR60X10083, WR60X10084, WR60X10099, WR60X10149, WR60X10152, WR60X10154, and WR60X10157. As an aftermarket replacement, the WR60X10185 is built to OEM-equivalent quality standards.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WR60X10185 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor fixes GE, Hotpoint, and select Kenmore refrigerators where the fresh food section runs warm while the freezer stays cold, there's unusual noise from the freezer, or frost is building up around the coil. 9.75V DC, 3.25W, 4-wire harness on a 6-pin connector (2 pins empty).

Compatibility
This evaporator fan motor is compatible with select GE and Hotpoint refrigerators, and also fits select Kenmore, Haier, Monogram, and Café refrigerators built on the GE platform.
Note — check your connector before ordering: GE uses several different evaporator fan motor variants that look nearly identical, and choosing the wrong one means the connector or function won't match your refrigerator. This WR60X10185 motor has no thermistor and a plain 4-wire harness with 2 empty slots on its 6-pin connector. If your old motor's connector has a white thermistor wire in it, you need WR60X10074 instead (harness with integrated thermistor). If your old connector instead has a dedicated light connector, you need WR23X10467. This part is also a separate motor from our WR60X10318 listing, which is a side-by-side platform assembly with its own integrated thermistor and a longer harness. Always verify your full model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure which motor fits your refrigerator.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Check Your Connector Type First Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning, and move perishable food to a cooler for the duration of the repair. Wear work gloves. Before removing the old motor, look closely at its connector: confirm it's a plain 4-wire harness with no thermistor wire and no separate light connector, matching this replacement. 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 and fan assembly. 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 and the fan blade's orientation 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. Transfer the fan blade to the new motor if a blade isn't included, matching the original orientation. Mount the new WR60X10185 in the same position, reconnect the wiring harness connector fully, and confirm the 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
How do I know if I need this motor or the one with the thermistor?
Look directly at your old motor's electrical connector before ordering. This WR60X10185 motor has a plain 4-wire harness on a 6-pin plug, with two of the six pin positions left empty — there's no thermistor wire involved. If your connector instead has a white thermistor wire running into it, you'll need WR60X10074, which includes an integrated thermistor and is not interchangeable with this motor. If your connector has a separate plug specifically for a freezer light, you'll need WR23X10467 instead.
My fresh food section is warm but the freezer seems fine. Is this the right part?
Yes, this is a very common and telling symptom pattern. The freezer sits right next to the evaporator coil and can stay reasonably cold through proximity even with weakening air circulation, but the fresh food compartment depends entirely on the fan pushing cold air through the ducting to reach it. When the fan motor fails or slows down, the fresh food side is usually the first and most noticeably affected area, and GE's own guidance confirms that a fresh-food-warm/freezer-fine pattern points to this fan.
Why would a fan motor "burn out quickly" instead of just wearing out slowly?
While this motor generally has a long service life, it can fail rapidly if something obstructs the fan blade from turning — commonly built-up frost or ice, or occasionally debris. When the blade can't turn freely, the motor works against resistance it wasn't designed for, which accelerates internal wear and can burn it out much faster than normal aging would. Clearing ice from around the fan before or during replacement helps prevent stressing the new motor the same way.
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 original 9.75V, 3.25W motor design, blade fitment, and 4-wire harness configuration of the fan motor originally installed in your refrigerator.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator and Move Perishable Food Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves — Match the Connector Unplug the refrigerator and safely store any food that could spoil while the power is off. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. The evaporator fan motor is located in the freezer section behind the rear access panel. Remove all freezer shelves, drawers, and the ice maker (if equipped) to clear access to the back wall. If there's frost or ice buildup on the rear panel or coils, allow the freezer to thaw completely before continuing — never chip or pry ice off the evaporator coils, as the aluminum fins damage easily. Remove the screws securing the rear evaporator access panel and lift it away to expose the fan motor. Photograph the wiring harness connection and fan motor orientation before disconnecting anything. Before installing, compare the new motor's connector and part number to your old one — they must match. Disconnect the wiring harness by gently pulling the plug, and remove the two mounting screws holding the fan motor assembly in place. Remove the old motor. Install the new DA81-06013A in the same position and orientation, secure with the two mounting screws, and reconnect the wiring harness by firmly pushing the plug in until it seats. Confirm the fan blade spins freely by hand without rubbing on any surrounding surface. Reinstall the rear access panel, shelves, drawers, and ice maker. Plug the refrigerator back in and allow several hours for the unit to return to its set temperature before reloading with food. No software or firmware update is required. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver (or electric screwdriver), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my evaporator fan motor has failed?
The most common signs are a refrigerator or freezer that's too warm despite the compressor running, poor or uneven cooling, and frost building up on the evaporator coils because air isn't being circulated. You may also hear unusual noise (grinding, squealing, or clicking) from the freezer compartment as the motor bearings fail or the blade rubs on accumulated frost. To confirm: with the refrigerator running, open the freezer and listen/look for the fan behind the rear panel — if it's not spinning while the compressor runs, or it's making noise, the motor has likely failed. You can also test the motor with a 12V DC power source; a working motor will spin when powered.
Samsung has several similar-looking fan motors — how do I know this is the right one?
This is the critical thing to get right. Samsung uses several different evaporator fan motors across its refrigerator lineup, and while they look similar, they differ in voltage and connector style and are NOT interchangeable. The DA81-06013A is a 12V DC motor with a 3-wire harness, used across the RF18/RF22/RF23/RF24/RF25/RF26/RF28/RF30/RF34 French door and bottom-mount series. A different motor — such as the BLDC DA31-00342A used in some RS-series side-by-side models — has a different connector and won't work here. Before ordering, find the part number printed on your old motor, or match your refrigerator's model number against the compatibility list. When in doubt, send us your model number and we'll confirm.
Do I need to update any software or firmware after installing this?
No — this is a simple mechanical fan motor with no electronics that require programming. Unlike some Samsung refrigerator control boards or main PCBs, the evaporator fan motor is a direct drop-in replacement: disconnect the old one, connect the new one, and it works immediately. There's no pairing, calibration, or firmware update needed. Just make sure the connector matches and the fan blade spins freely after installation.
Should I defrost the freezer before installing this?
If there's frost or ice buildup on the rear freezer panel or evaporator coils, yes — clear it before installing the new motor. Leave the freezer empty and unplugged with the door open for several hours (longer for heavy ice) to let everything thaw naturally, with towels at the base to catch melt water. Never chip or pry ice off the evaporator coils with a tool — the aluminum fins are delicate and a damaged coil is a far more expensive repair. If heavy frost keeps returning after the fan motor is replaced, the defrost system (defrost heater, sensor, or control) should be investigated as a secondary issue.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is manufactured to match the electrical specifications (12V DC, 0.16A), 3-wire harness, connector, frame dimensions (3-5/8"L x 1-3/4"W x 3-5/8"H), and cooling function of the original DA81-06013A evaporator fan motor used in compatible Samsung French door and bottom-mount refrigerators.

XPARTCO WR60X35205 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
The XPARTCO WR60X35205 is an aftermarket replacement fresh food evaporator fan motor for GE refrigerators. This small DC motor drives the fan that circulates cold air from the evaporator across the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment, keeping temperature consistent throughout the section — especially important on larger or multi-zone units where air needs to reach multiple shelves and drawers evenly. When the motor's bearings wear out or the windings fail, airflow to the fresh food section drops off even though the freezer keeps working normally, since the two compartments typically run on separate fan motors.
Rated 13.6V DC, 0.16A, this is a direct-fit aftermarket replacement built to the same mounting and electrical specification as the original motor. A quieter-running motor than a worn original is a common result after replacement, since failing bearings are often what make the old motor noisy before it fails outright.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WR60X35205 Evaporator Fan Motor fixes a GE refrigerator whose fresh food (fridge) compartment is running warm while the freezer still works fine, or that makes a new buzzing/grinding noise from the fan area. 13.6V DC / 0.16A, direct-fit replacement. Classic symptom: fridge section creeping up toward 50-55°F while the freezer stays cold, often paired with a noisy fan just before failure.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Fresh food (refrigerator) compartment running warm while the freezer stays cold
Buzzing, grinding, or rattling noise from the fan area — often a sign of a failing bearing
Inconsistent or uneven cooling across refrigerator shelves and drawers
Food in the bottom crisper drawers freezing unexpectedly due to airflow imbalance
Fan not running at all, or running intermittently
Cross Reference Information
Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models. For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item.
Replaces Part Numbers
This fan motor directly replaces the following part numbers:
WR60X35205, WR60X29099, WR60X20880, WR60X24723, WR60X26281, DAZB0838RCM, 197D9873P003, AGE29910, AP6997194, EAP16226575, PD00071276, PS16226575
These numbers span several generations of GE's own part numbering for this fan motor as the design was updated over time — all are the correct replacement for this fan motor regardless of which number appears on your refrigerator's parts diagram.
Compatibility
This fan motor is compatible with 30+ GE refrigerator models, including:
CFE28TP2MDS1, CFE28TP2MES1, CFE28TP2MFS1

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the refrigerator or switch off its circuit breaker before beginning. Remove the interior back panel or evaporator cover inside the fresh food compartment per your model's service guide — you may need to remove shelves or drawers first for access. Some models require a short defrost/thaw wait if frost has built up around the evaporator assembly. Disconnect the wire harness from the old fan motor, remove the mounting screws or clips, and note the fan blade's orientation before removing it. Transfer the fan blade to the new motor if it isn't included, install the new motor in the same position, reconnect the wire harness, and reinstall the cover and any shelves. Restore power and confirm the fan runs quietly and the compartment begins cooling normally.
Frequently Asked Questions
My fridge is warm but my freezer is fine — is this the part I need?
Yes, this is a classic symptom of a failed fresh food evaporator fan motor. Since many GE refrigerators use separate fans for the fridge and freezer compartments, a fan failure on the fridge side won't affect freezer cooling.
My fan is making a buzzing or grinding noise but still runs — should I wait until it fails completely?
Not recommended. A buzzing or grinding noise is a common sign of a failing motor bearing, and these motors often run noisy for a period before failing outright. Replacing it at the first sign of noise can prevent a sudden loss of cooling.
Is this the freezer fan or the fridge fan?
This is specifically the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment fan motor, not the freezer fan. If your freezer isn't cooling or circulating air properly, you'll need the separate freezer evaporator fan motor part instead.
Does this include the fan blade?
This listing is for the fan motor. In most cases the original fan blade transfers over to the new motor during installation — check your specific motor and blade assembly when you remove the old unit.
