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.

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.

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 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").

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.

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.

OE WR60X10220 Refrigerator Condenser Fan Motor
The OE WR60X10220 is an Original Equipment condenser fan motor for GE-built refrigerators, sourced from the same original manufacturer that supplies this motor for genuine GE production, and shipped in XPARTCO packaging rather than GE retail packaging. The condenser fan motor pulls air across the condenser coils and compressor to dissipate heat, and on many models it also helps evaporate condensate that collects in the drain pan below the compressor. When this motor fails or weakens, the compressor and coils can't shed heat properly, leading to a refrigerator that runs constantly, doesn't cool adequately, or develops a squealing/screeching noise as the motor bearings wear.
It directly replaces WR60X10220, WR60X10133, WR60X10171, WR60X10192, 197D1871P026, IS-2321GEN, AH1766247, EA1766247, EAP1766247, AP4298602, AGE29216, PD00001198, PS1766247, SM10220. Located in the rear compressor compartment behind the refrigerator's rear access panel. Installs in 30–60 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The OE WR60X10220 Refrigerator Condenser Fan Motor fixes GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore (GE-built) refrigerators that run constantly, don't cool adequately, or make a squealing/screeching noise from the compressor compartment. This is an Original Equipment motor — same manufacturer as genuine GE production, packaged as XPARTCO rather than GE retail packaging. 115V. Replaces WR60X10220, WR60X10133, WR60X10171, WR60X10192, 197D1871P026, IS-2321GEN, AH1766247, EA1766247, EAP1766247, AP4298602, AGE29216, PD00001198, PS1766247, SM10220. Classic symptom: loud squealing or screeching noise coming from behind the fridge.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Refrigerator runs constantly and doesn't cycle off normally
Fridge or freezer not cooling adequately or running warm
Loud squealing, screeching, or grinding noise from the rear compressor compartment
Compressor overheating or shutting off on thermal protection
Water pooling under the refrigerator from an overwhelmed drain pan
Condenser fan blade not spinning, or spinning slowly/intermittently
What Is an OE Part?
OE ("Original Equipment") parts are sourced from the same original manufacturer that supplies the component for genuine factory production — not a different aftermarket maker. The difference from a "Genuine OEM" listing is packaging: an OE part ships in XPARTCO packaging instead of the appliance brand's retail box, at a lower cost, while the part itself comes off the same production line. OE is a separate designation from our XPARTCO aftermarket brand and is never labeled with an XPARTCO prefix.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting Disconnect power before beginning. Pull the refrigerator away from the wall and remove the rear access panel over the compressor compartment (typically several screws around the perimeter). Locate the condenser fan motor and blade near the compressor. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting. Unplug the motor's wiring harness connector. Remove the mounting screws or bracket clip holding the motor in place, and note the orientation of the fan blade on the motor shaft before removing it — the blade must be reinstalled facing the same direction to move air correctly. Transfer the fan blade to the new WR60X10220 motor, or install the blade included with your kit in the same orientation. Mount the new motor in the same position and secure it. Reconnect the wiring harness, matching your photos. Reinstall the rear access panel, restore power, and confirm the fan spins freely and the compressor area cools down normally after running. Tools needed: nut driver or screwdriver, needle-nose pliers (for wiring connectors).
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between this OE part and a "Genuine OEM" listing?
Both come from the same original manufacturer as factory production — the difference is packaging and price. A Genuine OEM listing ships in the appliance brand's own retail box; this OE part ships in XPARTCO packaging at a lower cost, with no difference in the motor itself.
My fridge is making a loud squealing noise — is this the part I need?
Very likely, yes. A squealing or screeching noise from behind the refrigerator, especially one that gets louder over time, is one of the most common symptoms of a failing condenser fan motor as its bearings wear out. Pull the unit out and listen near the rear compressor compartment to confirm the noise is coming from that area before ordering.
Is this the same as an evaporator fan motor?
No — these are different components serving different purposes, and it's easy to order the wrong one. The evaporator fan motor is inside the freezer compartment and circulates cold air through the fridge and freezer. This condenser fan motor is in the rear compressor compartment and cools the compressor and condenser coils. Confirm which one your model uses based on symptoms and location before ordering.
Do I need to transfer the fan blade from my old motor?
On many models, yes — the fan blade is a separate component that mounts onto the motor shaft, and you'll transfer it from the old motor to the new one, noting its orientation first. Some kits include a new blade; check what's included with your specific motor before starting the repair.

EAU61524007 Genuine OEM LG Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
The EAU61524007 is a genuine LG OEM evaporator fan motor for LG and select Kenmore refrigerators. This motor circulates air over the evaporator coil and distributes that cooled air into the fresh food and freezer compartments in a balanced way, which is what keeps temperatures even throughout the refrigerator and helps prevent frost from building up on the coil.
DC-powered, white in color, with an assembled height of approximately 1 inch. Over time, the motor's bearings can wear out, or general electrical failure can set in from years of continuous cycling. A failing evaporator fan motor produces a wide range of symptoms since it affects both compartments and the defrost system: the refrigerator may not start at all, either compartment may run too warm or too cold, or frost buildup may appear where it shouldn't. Unusual noise from the freezer is another common early sign of a struggling motor. It directly replaces EAU60694510, AP5950081, PS10058947, EAP10058947, and PD00006349.

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 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 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 wiring harness connector 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. Transfer the fan blade to the new motor if a blade isn't included, matching the original orientation. Mount the new EAU61524007 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, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My refrigerator won't start at all. Could this really be the fan motor?
Yes, this is one of the documented symptoms for this part on LG's own service guidance. Because this motor is tied into the refrigeration and defrost circuit, a failure here can present as the unit not starting at all, in addition to the more expected symptoms like temperature problems or noise. That said, other components can produce a similar no-start symptom, so it's worth confirming this diagnosis if you're not fully certain.
Both compartments are running warm, not just one. Does that still point to this motor?
Yes. Since this motor is responsible for distributing cooled air to both the fresh food and freezer compartments from the evaporator coil, a failure here can affect both areas simultaneously rather than just one, unlike some other fan motor designs that mainly affect the compartment further from the coil.
How do I make sure I'm ordering this exact motor and not a similar one?
Check the part number printed directly on your old motor if it's legible, or confirm your refrigerator's full model number against the compatibility list. LG has released similarly-numbered motors, such as EAU61524002, that serve different models and have different electrical specifications, so matching by number is more reliable than matching by general appearance.
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 motor design, blade fitment, and mounting configuration of the evaporator fan motor originally installed in your 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.

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.

WR60X25858 Freezer Genuine OEM Evaporator Fan Motor
The WR60X25858 is a genuine GE OEM freezer evaporator fan motor for GE refrigerators, and also fits select Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, Café, Profile, and Kenmore models. Located in the freezer compartment, this motor circulates air across the evaporator coil and out into the freezer and, on many models, the fresh food compartment, drawing heat out of the air to maintain consistent, efficient cooling throughout the appliance.
Rated 13.6V DC, 0.23 amps, with fan dimensions of approximately 4.5" x 4.5" and a wiring harness and plug extending about 8.25" from the frame. Common causes of failure include worn motor bearings or electrical failure over time. Symptoms of a failing evaporator fan motor include the freezer failing to cool properly and warming up, insufficient airflow, excessive frost buildup, higher-than-normal freezer temperatures, or unusual noise — often caused by frost or ice rubbing against the fan blade as it turns. It directly replaces 239D1371P002, 3033253, 4931166, U11P14MS7AA3-57A61, WR60X10340, AGE29632, AP6891698, EAP12727431, EAP7320382, PD00054264, PS12727431.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Clear Any Frost Or Ice From The Fan Area Unplug the refrigerator and safely store any food that could spoil while the power is off. Wear work gloves. Locate the evaporator fan motor in the freezer compartment, typically behind an interior panel covering the evaporator coil assembly. If there's noticeable frost or ice buildup around the fan or coil, allow it to fully defrost before continuing — restricted airflow from ice is a common contributor to fan motor strain and noise. Remove the panel to access the fan motor, then disconnect the wiring harness from the old motor. Remove the mounting screws or clips securing the old motor and pull it free, along with the fan blade if it doesn't transfer separately. Install the new WR60X25858 in the same position, reconnect the wiring harness fully, and secure the mounting hardware. Reinstall the interior panel. While you're in this area, vacuuming out any accessible condenser coils is a good complementary maintenance step. Restore power and monitor the freezer's temperature over the next 24 hours to confirm normal, quiet operation and consistent cooling. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My freezer isn't cold anymore. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is one of the most common causes of a freezer that won't cool. One customer specifically reached out after their freezer wasn't cold, watched a diagnostic video explaining the evaporator fan's role, and confirmed this motor was the cause before ordering the replacement.
I hear a strange noise from inside my freezer. Could this be the fan motor?
Yes, this is a well-documented symptom. Noise often occurs when the fan motor itself is wearing out, or when frost or ice has built up enough to rub against the spinning fan blade. Clearing any ice buildup before replacing the motor helps you confirm whether the noise was from ice contact or the motor itself.
Should I do anything else while I have the freezer open for this repair?
It's a good opportunity to check for and clear any frost or ice buildup around the fan and coil area, since restricted airflow can contribute to fan strain. One customer also vacuumed out the condenser coils during the same repair, which is a reasonable companion maintenance step while everything is accessible.
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, voltage, and connection type of the evaporator fan motor originally installed in your refrigerator.

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

If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility.
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 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.

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 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.
