XPARTCO WR60X35205 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor The XPARTCO WR60X35205 is an aftermarket replacement fresh food evaporator fan motor for GE refrigerators. This small DC motor drives the fan that circulates cold air from the evaporator across the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment, keeping temperature consistent throughout the section — especially important on larger or multi-zone units where air needs to reach multiple shelves and drawers evenly. When the motor's bearings wear out or the windings fail, airflow to the fresh food section drops off even though the freezer keeps working normally, since the two compartments typically run on separate fan motors. Rated 13.6V DC, 0.16A, this is a direct-fit aftermarket replacement built to the same mounting and electrical specification as the original motor. A quieter-running motor than a worn original is a common result after replacement, since failing bearings are often what make the old motor noisy before it fails outright. Quick Answer The XPARTCO WR60X35205 Evaporator Fan Motor fixes a GE refrigerator whose fresh food (fridge) compartment is running warm while the freezer still works fine, or that makes a new buzzing/grinding noise from the fan area. 13.6V DC / 0.16A, direct-fit replacement. Classic symptom: fridge section creeping up toward 50-55°F while the freezer stays cold, often paired with a noisy fan just before failure. Common Problems This Part Fixes Fresh food (refrigerator) compartment running warm while the freezer stays cold Buzzing, grinding, or rattling noise from the fan area — often a sign of a failing bearing Inconsistent or uneven cooling across refrigerator shelves and drawers Food in the bottom crisper drawers freezing unexpectedly due to airflow imbalance Fan not running at all, or running intermittently Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models. For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item. Replaces Part Numbers This fan motor directly replaces the following part numbers: WR60X35205, WR60X29099, WR60X20880, WR60X24723, WR60X26281, DAZB0838RCM, 197D9873P003, AGE29910, AP6997194, EAP16226575, PD00071276, PS16226575 These numbers span several generations of GE's own part numbering for this fan motor as the design was updated over time — all are the correct replacement for this fan motor regardless of which number appears on your refrigerator's parts diagram. Compatibility This fan motor is compatible with 30+ GE refrigerator models, including: CFE28TP2MDS1, CFE28TP2MES1, CFE28TP2MFS1 CFE28TP3MDD1, CFE28TP3MED1, CFE28TP3MFD1 CFE28TP4MDW2, CFE28TP4MEW2, CFE28TP4MFW2 CFE28TSHBSS GFE28HSHDSS, and numerous additional GE French-door and multi-zone refrigerator models Note: This is specifically the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment evaporator fan motor, not the freezer fan motor — many GE refrigerators use a separate fan for each compartment, and this part will not resolve a freezer-side airflow problem. Confirm which compartment's fan has failed before ordering, or contact our support team with your model number to verify before ordering. Key Features Direct-fit aftermarket fresh food evaporator fan motor for GE refrigerators 13.6V DC, 0.16A rating matches OEM specification Resolves warm-fridge-with-cold-freezer, noisy fan, and uneven cooling symptoms Often runs quieter than a worn original motor after replacement Fits 30+ GE French-door and multi-zone refrigerator models Straightforward swap — typically 30–60 minutes with basic hand tools Product Specifications Part Number XPWR60X35205 OEM Part Number WR60X35205 Part Type Refrigerator Fresh Food Evaporator Fan Motor Condition Aftermarket Replacement Voltage 13.6 Volt DC Amperage 0.16 Amp Application GE French-Door & Multi-Zone Refrigerators Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the refrigerator or switch off its circuit breaker before beginning. Remove the interior back panel or evaporator cover inside the fresh food compartment per your model's service guide — you may need to remove shelves or drawers first for access. Some models require a short defrost/thaw wait if frost has built up around the evaporator assembly. Disconnect the wire harness from the old fan motor, remove the mounting screws or clips, and note the fan blade's orientation before removing it. Transfer the fan blade to the new motor if it isn't included, install the new motor in the same position, reconnect the wire harness, and reinstall the cover and any shelves. Restore power and confirm the fan runs quietly and the compartment begins cooling normally. Frequently Asked Questions My fridge is warm but my freezer is fine — is this the part I need? Yes, this is a classic symptom of a failed fresh food evaporator fan motor. Since many GE refrigerators use separate fans for the fridge and freezer compartments, a fan failure on the fridge side won't affect freezer cooling. My fan is making a buzzing or grinding noise but still runs — should I wait until it fails completely? Not recommended. A buzzing or grinding noise is a common sign of a failing motor bearing, and these motors often run noisy for a period before failing outright. Replacing it at the first sign of noise can prevent a sudden loss of cooling. Is this the freezer fan or the fridge fan? This is specifically the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment fan motor, not the freezer fan. If your freezer isn't cooling or circulating air properly, you'll need the separate freezer evaporator fan motor part instead. Does this include the fan blade? This listing is for the fan motor. In most cases the original fan blade transfers over to the new motor during installation — check your specific motor and blade assembly when you remove the old unit.

WR60X10257 (OE) Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor The WR60X10257 is an OE (Original Equipment) evaporator fan motor, also known as an AC/DC fan motor, for GE and Hotpoint refrigerators. Located at the back of the freezer, this motor circulates air across the evaporator coils, which convert refrigerant into cooling capacity — the fan is what carries that cold air into both the freezer and fresh food compartments. Rated 115V, 60Hz, 2.4W. Common failure causes include worn motor bearings and general electrical wear. A failing motor produces a recognizable symptom: the freezer may stay reasonably cold while the fresh food section runs warm, since the fresh food compartment depends entirely on this fan to receive circulated cold air. Other symptoms include unusual noise from the freezer or inconsistent cooling overall. It directly replaces 1373246, 200D5001P003, AP4318644, EAP1766252, PS1766252, AH1766252, UDQR002GNL, WR60X10129, AGE29237, and PD00028496. Quick Answer The WR60X10257 (OE) Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor fixes GE and Hotpoint refrigerators where the freezer stays cold but the fresh food section runs warm, there's unusual noise from the freezer, or cooling is inconsistent. 115V, 60Hz, 2.4W.

This is a 115V AC-powered motor — a different design from the 9.75V DC evaporator fan motors in our WR60X10074, WR60X10185, and WR60X10318 listings. Always match your original motor's voltage type before ordering. Common Problems This Part Fixes Freezer stays cold but the fresh food compartment runs warm Refrigerator or freezer sections too warm overall Unusual noise — humming, buzzing, or grinding — coming from the freezer Inconsistent or fluctuating refrigerator temperatures Refrigerator running constantly as it struggles to maintain 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. Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models. For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item. Replaces Part Numbers This refrigerator evaporator fan motor directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers: WR60X10257, 1373246, 200D5001P003, UDQR002GNL, WR60X10129, AP4318644, EAP1766252, PS1766252, AGE29237, PD00028496 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, and also fits select Haier, Monogram, and Café refrigerators built on the GE platform, including model numbers such as ETS22SBPARBS, ETS22SBSARSS, and GTS22FBPBRWW. Note — 115V AC, not 9.75V DC: This motor is a different design and voltage class from the DC evaporator fan motors used on other GE refrigerator platforms, including our WR60X10074, WR60X10185, and WR60X10318 listings (all 9.75V DC). Check your old motor's voltage rating, printed on the motor itself, before ordering — a DC motor and this AC motor are not interchangeable. 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. Key Features OE (Original Equipment) evaporator fan motor, also known as an AC/DC fan motor Circulates air across the evaporator coils to cool the freezer and fresh food compartments Resolves "freezer cold but fridge warm," "unusual noise," and "inconsistent cooling" symptoms caused by fan motor failure Rated 115V, 60Hz, 2.4W Direct drop-in replacement matching the original mounting and blade fitment Replaces 1373246, 200D5001P003, AP4318644, EAP1766252, PS1766252, AH1766252, UDQR002GNL, WR60X10129, AGE29237, and PD00028496 Compatible with GE, Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, and Café refrigerators OE (Original Equipment) — manufactured by the same original supplier as the Genuine OEM part Product Specifications Part Number WR60X10257-OE Part Type Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor Designation OE (Original Equipment) Compatible Brand GE Location Back of the freezer, over the evaporator coils Voltage 115V AC Frequency 60 Hz Wattage 2.4 W Dimensions 4"H x 2-3/4"W x 17"D Quantity 1 fan motor Compatible Brands GE, Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, Café 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 WR60X10257 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 freezer is cold but the fridge section is warm. Is this the right part? Yes, this is a very common and telling symptom pattern. The freezer sits close to the evaporator coil and can stay reasonably cold through proximity even with weakening air circulation, but the fresh food compartment depends entirely on this 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. How do I know if I need this 115V motor or one of your DC motors? Check the voltage rating printed directly on your old motor before ordering. This WR60X10257 is a 115V AC-powered motor, while our WR60X10074, WR60X10185, and WR60X10318 listings are all 9.75V DC motors used on different GE refrigerator generations. The two motor types are not interchangeable, so matching the voltage rating on your original motor is the most reliable way to confirm which one you need. 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.

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 Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models.

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.

Quantity 1 fan motor + 1 thermistor Compatible Brands GE, Hotpoint 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.

WR60X26866 Genuine OEM GE Refrigerator Axial Evaporator Fan Motor The WR60X26866 is a Genuine OEM GE replacement axial evaporator fan motor manufactured by GE to factory specifications, designed as a direct fit for the fresh food section of select GE French door refrigerators, including the CFE28, CFE29, CWE23, CYE22, CYE23, DFE28, DFE29, GFD28, GFE26, GFE27, GFE28, GFE29, GFS26, GFS28, GNE26, GNE29, GYE22, GYS22, PFD28, PFE28, PFE29, PWE23, PYD22, PYE22, PYE23, and ZWE23 series. The evaporator fan motor pulls air through the evaporator coils to remove heat from the circulating air inside the refrigerator. Without a functioning evaporator fan, the refrigerator compartment cannot maintain its target temperature even when the compressor and condenser are running normally — the cold air generated at the evaporator simply isn't being circulated to the food storage areas.

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

May 2014–March 2015, serial range HD–FF (WR98R882802) Quantity 1 evaporator motor Compatible Brand GE Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Check Your Manufacture Date For A Software Update Requirement Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning, and move perishable food to a cooler for the duration of the repair. Wear work gloves. Before starting, check your refrigerator's serial number/manufacture date sticker (typically inside the fresh food compartment) — if your unit was made between May 2014 and March 2015 with a serial range of HD through FF, plan for a control software update via factory service or a Software Update Module (WR98R882802) after installing this motor, since without it the new motor may not perform correctly. Access to the fresh food evaporator is typically through an interior panel in the fresh food compartment, separate from the freezer's evaporator access — check your model's service diagram. If there's frost or ice buildup around the fan or coil, let the unit sit unplugged with the door open for a few hours 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. Mount the new WR49X25197 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 panel. Restore power and monitor the fresh food compartment over the next 24 hours to confirm even, consistent cooling has returned. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions My fresh food section runs warm but the freezer is fine. Is this the right part? Yes, this is exactly the symptom pattern this motor addresses, since it's dedicated specifically to the fresh food evaporator rather than serving both compartments. If your freezer is cooling normally and only the fresh food section is warm or inconsistent, this axial motor is a strong candidate for the cause. Do I really need a software update after installing this motor? Only if your refrigerator falls into a specific manufacturing window: units made between May 2014 and March 2015, identifiable by a serial range of HD through FF. For those units, GE's own guidance states the control software must be updated by factory service or with a Software Update Module (WR98R882802) for the new motor to perform correctly. If your refrigerator falls outside that date range, this step isn't necessary — check your serial number sticker to confirm which category your unit falls into. Is this the same as a regular evaporator fan motor? Not quite — this is an axial-design motor built specifically for the fresh food evaporator on GE French door refrigerators, distinct from general evaporator fan motors that serve the freezer side or both compartments together. Always confirm your model number and which compartment's fan has failed before ordering. 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 axial motor design, blade fitment, and electrical rating of the fresh food evaporator motor originally installed in your refrigerator.

XPARTCO WR60X10220 Refrigerator Condenser Fan Motor The XPARTCO WR60X10220 is an aftermarket replacement condenser fan motor for GE frost-free refrigerators with a condenser coil. 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 through the refrigerator's grille to cool both the compressor and the condenser coils as they work. It also plays a secondary role in helping evaporate excess water that collects in the drain pan. Because the condenser fan cools the mechanical side of the refrigeration system rather than circulating cold air to your food, a failing motor tends to affect the whole refrigerator's cooling capacity rather than just one compartment. The harness and plug extend approximately 8" from the motor body. Common failure causes include worn motor bearings, dust and debris buildup around the coils restricting airflow, and general electrical wear over time. Symptoms include a refrigerator that runs warm overall, a hot cabinet area near the back or bottom of the unit, a squealing or grinding noise, or the compressor running constantly as it struggles to shed heat. It directly replaces AP4298602, 1257132, AH1766247, EA1766247, PS1766247, WR60X10133, WR60X10171, WR60X10192, and SM10220. Quick Answer The XPARTCO WR60X10220 Refrigerator Condenser Fan Motor fixes GE, Hotpoint, RCA, Kenmore, Haier, Monogram, and Café frost-free refrigerators with a hot cabinet area, squealing or grinding noise, or a fridge running warm overall.

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 power wire and the ground wire 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. If the old fan blade is seized onto the motor shaft, a firm, sudden strike (rather than steady pressure) will typically break the blade loose from the shaft without damaging the plastic blade, so it can be reused on the new motor. Mount the new WR60X10220 in the same position, reconnect the power and ground wires, 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 and any hot cabinet area or noise has resolved. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions My refrigerator has a hot spot on the cabinet and runs warm overall. Is this the right part? Yes, this is a classic symptom pair for a failing condenser fan motor. Without proper airflow across the condenser coils and compressor, heat builds up in the machine compartment (producing that hot cabinet area) while the whole refrigeration cycle loses efficiency, which shows up as both compartments running warmer than normal rather than just one. The old fan blade is stuck on the motor shaft. How do I remove it without breaking it? A gentle, steady pull often won't budge a seized blade, but a firm, sudden strike to the blade (rather than continuous pressure) will typically pop it loose from the metal shaft without damaging the plastic blade itself, so you can reuse it on the new motor if a blade isn't included. Work carefully and support the blade so it doesn't fall and crack once it releases. 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. Does this fan also affect my drain pan? Yes, indirectly. In addition to cooling the compressor and condenser coils, this fan helps evaporate excess water that collects in the drain pan beneath the refrigerator. If the fan has failed, you may notice water pooling or not evaporating as it normally would, in addition to the more obvious cooling and noise symptoms. 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 mounting configuration, dimensions, and airflow performance of the original WR60X10220 condenser fan motor used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, RCA, Kenmore, Haier, Monogram, and Café refrigerators.

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.

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.
