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

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

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

XPARTCO WR60X26866 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
The XPARTCO WR60X26866 is an aftermarket replacement axial evaporator fan motor for the fresh food section of select GE French door refrigerators, including the CFE28, CFE29, CWE23, CYE22, CYE23, DFE28, DFE29, GFD28, GFE26, GFE27, GFE28, GFE29, GFS26, GFS28, GNE26, GNE29, GYE22, GYS22, PFD28, PFE28, PFE29, PWE23, PYD22, PYE22, PYE23, and ZWE23 series. The evaporator fan motor pulls air through the evaporator coils to remove heat from the circulating air inside the refrigerator. Without a functioning evaporator fan, the refrigerator compartment cannot maintain its target temperature even when the compressor and condenser are running normally — the cold air generated at the evaporator simply isn't being circulated to the food storage areas.
The WR60X26866 is a DC motor rated at 13.6V DC, 0.16A, with a fan housing measuring 3-4/7"L x 2"W x 3-1/8"H, plus a multi-color wire harness and plug approximately 11-1/2" long. It includes the axial fan blade and harness as a complete assembly. It directly replaces WR60X26033, WR60X26030, WR60X24303, WR60X10341, WR60X10356, WR60X10357, WR02X13733, 239D1412P006, V80E14MS2A3-57A611, 8817V-W1, 4546026, AP5985039, AP6278228, EAP12172983, PD00038765, PS11721915, and PS12172983. Important: if your refrigerator was built between May 2014 and March 2015 with serial range FF–HD, the unit's software must be updated before installing this fan motor — see FAQ below.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator and Move Perishable Food Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Unplug the refrigerator and safely store any food that could spoil while the power is off. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. The evaporator fan motor for the fresh food section is mounted on the back wall of the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment, behind an access panel. Take a photo of the existing fan position and wire harness routing before disconnecting. Remove the shelves and any internal components blocking access to the back wall, then remove the screws holding the rear access panel in place. Disconnect the fan motor's wire harness connector and remove the mounting screws securing the old motor. Note the fan blade orientation on the motor shaft. Install the new WR60X26866 motor assembly in the same position with the blade facing the same direction, reconnect the wiring harness, and reinstall the mounting screws and access panel. Replace the shelves and other internal components, restore power, and confirm the fan spins and the refrigerator cools properly. Allow several hours for the refrigerator to return to its set temperature before reloading with food. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My fridge is warm but my freezer is cold — is the evaporator fan motor the problem?
Yes — this is one of the most recognizable symptoms of evaporator fan motor failure on GE French door refrigerators with a separate fresh food evaporator. The freezer side has its own cooling circuit and remains cold, while the fresh food side relies on this fan to circulate air across its evaporator coils. When the fan fails, the freezer continues working but the fresh food compartment loses its cold air supply, warming up while the freezer stays at temperature. If you also notice frost building up on the evaporator coils behind the back panel of the fresh food compartment, the fan failure is confirmed.
What is the software update requirement for May 2014 – March 2015 refrigerators?
GE issued a software update for certain refrigerators manufactured between May 2014 and March 2015 (serial range FF–HD) before they could properly support newer revisions of the WR60X26866 evaporator fan motor. If your refrigerator falls in this date and serial range, the control software must be updated before installing this fan motor — either by GE factory service or by using the Software Update Module part WR98R882802. Installing the new fan on an unupdated unit can result in improper performance. Check the serial number plate inside your refrigerator (typically on the left side wall) to confirm whether your unit is affected. Refrigerators built outside this range do not require the update.
How do I test if the evaporator fan motor has failed?
Unplug the refrigerator, then access the fan behind the rear panel of the fresh food compartment. First, try turning the fan blade by hand — if it doesn't spin freely, is stiff, or seizes, the motor bearing has failed. Next, listen during normal operation — if the motor is unusually noisy or makes a grinding sound, the bearings are worn even if it still spins. Finally, with the unit unplugged and the motor disconnected, use a multimeter on the motor windings to check for continuity. If the windings show no continuity, the motor has failed electrically. Also check for approximately 11–14V DC at the connector when the refrigerator is running — if voltage is present but the motor doesn't spin, the motor has failed.
My fridge has two evaporator fans — which one does this replace?
Some GE French door refrigerators have separate evaporator fan motors for the freezer and the fresh food sections. The WR60X26866 is the fresh food evaporator fan motor — it's the axial fan located behind the rear panel of the fresh food compartment, not in the freezer. If your symptom is "freezer cold, fridge warm," this is the correct part. If your symptom is "freezer warm" or "ice maker not making ice but fridge is fine," the freezer evaporator fan motor (a different part number) is more likely the cause. Confirm which compartment has the cooling problem before ordering.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured to match the dimensions, fan housing, electrical specifications, and pre-attached wire harness configuration of the original WR60X26866 evaporator fan motor.

XPARTCO WR60X25858 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
The XPARTCO WR60X25858 is an aftermarket replacement 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 WR60X25858, WR60X10340, 4931166, 239D1371P002, U11P14MS7AA3-57A61, AGE29632, AP6891698, EAP12727431, 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 an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured to match the motor design, voltage, and connection type of the original WR60X25858 evaporator fan motor used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, Café, Profile, and Kenmore refrigerators.

5304530651 Refrigerator Genuine OEM Evaporator Fan Motor
115V 60hz 2.8W
Replaces Part Numbers: 5304530651, 242077704, AP7179350, PS16660872
Description: This Evaporator Fan Motor is a Genuine OEM part for specific Electrolux, Frigidaire refrigerator models. It is responsible for circulating air throughout the refrigerator’s interior to maintain consistent cooling and optimal temperature distribution. This motor works to move air over the evaporator coils, aiding in the cooling process and ensuring that the refrigerator and freezer compartments remain at the desired temperature.
XPARTCO EAU63103201 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
The XPARTCO EAU63103201 is an aftermarket replacement evaporator fan motor for LG and select Kenmore/Kenmore Elite refrigerators. On this platform, the fan sits behind a panel near the crisper drawers and circulates air specifically through the fresh food compartment — a different physical location than the freezer-mounted evaporator fans found on many other brands. When this motor slows down or fails, the fresh food section is the part of the refrigerator most directly affected, since it depends on this fan to keep cold air moving across the compartment.
Rated 12V DC at 1A with a 4-pin connector, this motor has a 2.36" (60mm) shaft length and a 0.12" (3.16mm) shaft diameter, with roughly a 20.5" (56cm) wire lead. Common failure modes include worn motor bearings that let the blade wobble or bind, and general electrical wear from age. A fridge running warm, not cold at all, or making unusual noise from behind the crisper area are all signs pointing to this motor.

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

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.

WR60X31997 Genuine OEM GE Refrigerator Ice Box Fan Motor
The WR60X31997 is a genuine GE OEM ice box fan motor assembly for GE, Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, and Café refrigerators. This motor is situated in the freezer section and circulates cold air specifically around the ice box area, playing a direct role in ice production as well as general cooling and airflow in that part of the freezer. Consistent airflow here is what keeps the ice maker producing normally and prevents warm spots from developing nearby.
Rated 12V DC, 0.23A. Common causes of failure include a malfunctioning motor, worn-out bushings that hinder smooth rotation, or damaged fan blades that restrict airflow; mineral buildup can also gradually degrade the fan's efficiency over time. A failing ice box fan produces a recognizable set of symptoms: reduced or inadequate ice production, items in the freezer warming up or defrosting even with the door shut, unusual sounds or vibration when the fan runs, or uneven frost patterns suggesting the airflow in that area isn't circulating properly. It directly replaces PD00071430, 4964240, AP6978662, PS12744140, and EAP12744140.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning, and move perishable food to a cooler for the duration of the repair. Wear work gloves. Access the ice box fan by locating the panel or housing covering it in the freezer's ice box area — this may require removing the ice maker or nearby components for clearance depending on your model. Photograph the wiring and the fan blade's orientation before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the motor's wiring harness connector, remove the mounting screws or clips holding the motor bracket in place, and pull the motor and fan blade assembly free. Mount the new WR60X31997 in the same position, reconnect the wiring harness connector, and confirm the blade spins freely by hand without contacting the housing before reassembling any panels or components you removed for access. Restore power and monitor ice production and freezer temperature over the next 24 hours to confirm normal operation has returned. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My ice maker is producing less ice than usual. Could this fan be the cause?
Yes, this is one of the more common symptoms of a failing ice box fan. Since this fan circulates cold air specifically around the ice box area, reduced airflow from a struggling or seized motor can directly slow down ice production, even if the rest of the freezer seems to be cooling normally.
Items near the ice box seem to be warming up even though the freezer door is shut. Is that related?
Yes. If this fan isn't circulating air properly, the area around the ice box can lose consistent cooling even while the rest of the freezer stays cold, since that zone depends specifically on this fan for airflow. This localized warming, paired with reduced ice production, is a strong combined signal pointing to this fan.
Is this the same as a general evaporator fan motor?
No, this is a distinct component. The ice box fan motor circulates air specifically around the ice box area to support ice production and nearby cooling, while a general evaporator fan motor circulates air across the evaporator coil for the freezer and fresh food compartments more broadly. The two serve different roles and are not interchangeable — always confirm which fan your model needs using your parts diagram or model number.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original motor design, blade fitment, and mounting configuration of the ice box fan motor originally installed in your refrigerator.
