XPARTCO XPDC70X5-450R Dual Run Capacitor (70/5 MFD, 450V, Round)
The XPARTCO XPDC70X5-450R is a universal dual run capacitor for central air conditioners, heat pumps, and condensing units. A run capacitor works alongside a single-phase AC motor to keep it running efficiently once it's started, boosting torque and correcting the phase of the current feeding the motor's windings. This is a dual capacitor, meaning it combines two separate capacitors — one for the compressor, one for the condenser fan motor — into a single three-terminal can, which is why nearly every residential outdoor AC unit uses exactly this style of component to run both motors from one part.
Rated 70 MFD for the compressor circuit and 5 MFD for the fan motor circuit, at 450VAC, in a round aluminum can housing. Because a capacitor's voltage rating is a ceiling rather than a fixed match, this 450V-rated capacitor can safely replace an original capacitor rated 370V or 440V — going higher on voltage is always safe, going lower is not. Over time, the dielectric material inside a run capacitor breaks down from heat cycling and electrical stress, causing it to lose capacitance or fail outright. A failing dual capacitor produces a very recognizable set of symptoms: the outdoor unit hums but the compressor or fan won't start, the fan spins slowly or needs a manual push to get going, the system trips the breaker, or the capacitor can itself is visibly bulging, domed, or leaking oily residue at the top.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO XPDC70X5-450R Dual Run Capacitor fixes central air conditioners and heat pumps where the outdoor unit hums but won't start, the compressor or fan motor won't run, the fan spins slowly or needs a manual push, the breaker trips, or the capacitor can is visibly bulged or leaking. 70 MFD (compressor) + 5 MFD (fan) dual capacitor, 450VAC, round, 3-terminal. Universal fit for equipment originally speced at 370V or 440V, since a higher voltage rating is always a safe upgrade. Capacitors store a dangerous electrical charge even after power is disconnected — always discharge before handling.

XPDC70X5-450R
This is a universal component rather than a single-manufacturer part, so the specific OEM number your HVAC system's label references will vary by brand (Goodman, Trane, Carrier, Rheem, York, Lennox, Amana, and others). This capacitor is a correct replacement for any dual run capacitor matching the 70 MFD / 5 MFD rating with a voltage rating of 450V or lower. If you have your original part number, contact our support team and we will verify compatibility before you order.
Compatibility
This dual run capacitor is a universal replacement compatible with central air conditioners, heat pumps, and condensing units across all major HVAC brands, wherever the original capacitor is rated:
70 MFD (compressor) + 5 MFD (fan motor)
370V, 440V, or 450V (this capacitor's 450V rating exceeds and safely replaces either lower rating)
Round can shape with 3 terminals
Note: The MFD (microfarad) rating must match your original capacitor exactly on both sides — do not substitute a different MFD value for either the compressor or fan side. Voltage rating, on the other hand, can be equal to or higher than the original (450V safely replaces 370V or 440V), but never lower. Can shape (round vs. oval) affects only physical fit inside your unit's electrical compartment, not performance. If you're unsure of your original capacitor's specifications, they're printed directly on its can — contact our support team if you'd like help confirming compatibility.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Danger — Capacitors Store A Dangerous Electrical Charge Shut off power to the outdoor unit at the disconnect box and at the breaker before beginning. A capacitor stores an electrical charge even after power has been disconnected, and that charge can deliver a serious or fatal shock. Before touching any terminal, discharge the capacitor by shorting each pair of terminals together (C-to-Fan, C-to-Herm, and Fan-to-Herm) using an insulated-handle screwdriver, or by using a proper capacitor discharge tool with a resistor. Never short the terminals with a bare metal tool held with your bare hand. If you are not fully comfortable performing a capacitor discharge safely, have a qualified HVAC technician replace this part instead.
⚠️ Photograph The Wiring Before Disconnecting — Match Terminals Exactly Wear work gloves and safety glasses. After confirming the capacitor is fully discharged, photograph the wiring on the old capacitor's terminals before disconnecting anything — dual capacitors are labeled C (Common), Herm or Comp (compressor/hermetic), and Fan, and getting a wire on the wrong terminal can damage the new capacitor or the motor it feeds. Note which terminal each wire came from, or label them individually with tape. Remove the mounting strap or bracket holding the old capacitor in its housing, and disconnect each wire from its terminal. Install the new XPDC70X5-450R in the same mounting position, secure it with the strap or bracket, and reconnect each wire to the matching terminal (C, Herm, and Fan) exactly as labeled. Double-check every connection before restoring power. Restore power at the breaker and disconnect box, and confirm the compressor and fan both start promptly and run smoothly. Tools needed: insulated-handle screwdriver or capacitor discharge tool, nut driver, work gloves, safety glasses.
Frequently Asked Questions
My AC unit hums but won't start. Is this the capacitor?
It's one of the most common causes of exactly that symptom. A run capacitor gives the compressor or fan motor the extra push needed to start turning; without it, the motor can draw power and hum in place without ever actually starting to spin. If you can see the capacitor can and it looks bulged, domed on top, or is leaking a brown oily residue, that's strong visual confirmation of failure.
Can I use a 450V capacitor to replace my old 370V or 440V one?
Yes. Voltage rating is a ceiling, not an exact match requirement — a capacitor rated for a higher voltage than your original will work safely and often lasts longer under the same electrical stress. What you cannot do is go the other direction: never install a capacitor with a lower voltage rating than your original, since that risks premature failure or the capacitor breaking down under normal operating conditions.
Does the round vs. oval shape matter?
Only for physical fit inside your unit's electrical compartment — it has no effect on electrical performance. If your unit's mounting bracket or available space is sized for a round can, use a round capacitor; if it's sized for an oval can, use an oval one. The MFD and voltage ratings are what matter electrically, not the shape.
The fan spins if I give it a push, but won't start on its own. What does that mean?
This is a classic sign of a weak or failing capacitor — it may still have enough charge to keep the motor running once it's already spinning, but not enough to provide the initial starting torque. This is a strong signal to replace the capacitor before it fails completely and leaves you with no cooling at all.
Is this a genuine OEM part?
This is a universal replacement part rather than a brand-specific OEM part. Because dual run capacitors are a standardized component defined by their electrical specifications rather than their manufacturer, this capacitor is a correct replacement for any unit's original capacitor that shares the same 70/5 MFD, 450VAC, round dual run capacitor rating — regardless of which HVAC brand originally installed it.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator and Shut Off Water Before Starting Unplug the refrigerator and shut off the water supply before beginning. Remove all food and shelving from the freezer compartment. On most compatible models, the evaporator fan is located behind the freezer back panel. Remove the screws securing the freezer back panel and carefully slide it out to expose the evaporator coils and fan assembly. If ice has built up on the fan or coils, use a hair dryer to melt it before attempting to remove the fan — do not force a frozen fan free. Disconnect the 2-pin wire connector from the old motor. Remove the fan blade by pulling it straight off the motor shaft, then unscrew the motor mounting brackets and remove the old motor. Install the new W10464673 motor in the same position, secure the mounting brackets, press the fan blade back onto the shaft, and reconnect the 2-pin connector. Reinstall the freezer back panel, restore power and water, and verify the fan runs when the compressor starts. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, hair dryer (if coils are iced), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the evaporator fan motor do?
The evaporator fan motor drives a fan blade inside the freezer compartment that draws air across the evaporator coils — the cold coils remove heat from the air, and the fan distributes the chilled air throughout both the freezer and fresh food sections via a duct system. Without the evaporator fan running, the evaporator coils still get cold and the compressor still runs, but no cold air is circulated. This causes both compartments to gradually warm up even though the refrigeration system itself may be functioning correctly. A failed evaporator fan motor is one of the most common and most frequently misdiagnosed causes of poor refrigerator cooling.
How do I know if the evaporator fan motor has failed?
Open the freezer door and press the door switch (the small button or tab that tells the refrigerator the door is closed) — this should start the evaporator fan if the compressor is running. If you hear no fan noise and feel no airflow from inside the freezer with the compressor running, the fan motor has likely failed. You can also remove the freezer back panel and physically check whether the fan blade spins freely by hand — if it is stuck or wobbles, inspect for ice buildup or a seized motor bearing. If the blade spins freely but the motor does not run when powered, the motor has burned out.
What is the difference between W10464673 and WPW10464673?
These are the same evaporator fan motor. WPW10464673 is the updated Whirlpool OEM part number that superseded the original W10464673. The 3020513 is also a cross-reference for this same motor. This aftermarket replacement is compatible with all of these numbers.
My freezer is cold but my fridge is warm — could it be the evaporator fan?
Yes — this is a classic evaporator fan failure symptom. When the fan motor fails partially, the freezer may still receive some cold air passively from the evaporator, but not enough air is circulated to reach the fresh food section through the duct system. A failed evaporator fan is frequently the cause of this hot-fridge-cold-freezer pattern. Check the fan as described above — if it is not spinning, replacing the W10464673 motor will restore cooling to both compartments.
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 from ABS plastic and metal to match the electrical specifications and shaft dimensions of the original W10464673 evaporator fan motor.

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. Replaces 1373246, 200D5001P003, AP4318644, EAP1766252, PS1766252, AH1766252, UDQR002GNL, WR60X10129, AGE29237, PD00028496. 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.

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. This gives you factory-original quality at a more affordable price than the branded version.

279827 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Drive Motor
The 279827 is a Genuine OEM Whirlpool replacement dryer drive motor with pre-attached pulley, compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Estate, and Kenmore dryers. The drive motor is the component that powers everything that moves in your dryer — it turns the drum belt (which rotates the drum to tumble clothes) and simultaneously drives the blower wheel (which pushes heated air through the drum and out the exhaust vent). When the motor fails, the dryer either won't start, won't tumble, stops mid-cycle, or makes loud humming, buzzing, or grinding noises.
This is a dual-shaft motor: the drive shaft (1-3/4" long) connects to the drum belt via the pre-attached pulley, and the blower shaft (1-3/4" long) drives the blower wheel. The pulley is pre-attached and is not available separately — if your old motor's pulley is worn, this replacement includes a new one. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications, the 279827 is one of the most widely used dryer motors across the Whirlpool platform, replacing over 70 legacy part numbers spanning decades of production. Key cross-references include W10448892, W10396029, W10194250, 8066206, 3395654, 3398046, 3391888, 3395652, AP3094245, PS334304, and EAP334304. Includes the motor assembly, two 1/8" insulated female terminals, and instructions. Before replacing the motor, check the thermal fuse (electric dryers) and door switch first — a blown fuse or failed switch produces identical no-start symptoms and is a far cheaper fix. Installs in 45–90 minutes with basic hand tools.

This is one of the most extensively cross-referenced parts in the Whirlpool catalog. If your old motor shows a part number not listed here, contact our support team with your dryer model number and we will verify compatibility.
Compatibility
This drive motor is compatible with select dryers from the following brands:
Whirlpool dryers — electric and gas models across many generations (WED, WGD, LER, LGR, LEQ, LGQ series and many more)
Maytag dryers — select Whirlpool-built models (MED, MGD, MEDC, MEDX series)

Important — Before Replacing the Motor: A dryer that won't start can be caused by several components that are far cheaper and easier to replace than the motor. Before ordering, check the thermal fuse (electric dryers — test for continuity with a multimeter), the door switch (test for continuity when pressed), and the start switch. All three produce identical no-start symptoms. Only replace the motor after ruling out these common causes — a motor replacement is a significant repair, and it's far cheaper to replace a $10 thermal fuse than a $150+ motor. Always verify your dryer model number before ordering.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Disconnect Power Before Starting — 240V Circuit (Electric) or Gas Line (Gas) — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power at the breaker before beginning — electric dryers operate on a 240V circuit and there is a serious risk of electrical shock. For gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply at the shutoff valve. Wear work gloves and safety glasses. Pull the dryer away from the wall. Remove the lint screen and the screws beneath it. For most Whirlpool-platform dryers, remove the top panel by releasing the spring clips at the front, then detach the front panel by removing the screws at the top corners. Disconnect the door switch wires and set the front panel aside. Support the drum and slide it forward to access the motor at the bottom rear. Remove the drum belt from the motor pulley and idler pulley. Photograph the motor's wiring connections before disconnecting. Disconnect the electrical connections from the motor. Remove the blower wheel from the old motor's blower shaft — this typically requires a clamp or clip removal (the blower wheel threads off counterclockwise on many models). Remove the motor mounting clip/bracket and lift out the old motor. Install the new 279827 motor in the same position. Transfer the blower wheel onto the new motor's blower shaft and secure it. Reinstall the motor mounting clip/bracket. Reconnect the electrical connections using the included insulated female terminals if needed (match your photos). Re-route the drum belt around the drum, through the idler pulley, and onto the motor pulley. Reassemble the front panel, top panel, and lint screen. Restore power (and gas for gas dryers) and run a test cycle — confirm the drum spins smoothly and heated air flows through the drum. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, socket/ratchet set, putty knife (for spring clips), needle-nose pliers, work gloves, safety glasses.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer won't start — is the motor definitely the problem?
Not necessarily — and this is important because a motor replacement is a significant repair. A dryer that won't start can be caused by several components that are far cheaper and easier to replace. Before ordering the motor, check these first: 1) Thermal fuse (electric dryers) — a blown thermal fuse is the single most common cause of a no-start condition. Test for continuity with a multimeter; if it reads open, replace the fuse (~$10). 2) Door switch — test for continuity when pressed; if it's failed, the dryer won't start as a safety measure. 3) Start switch — if pressing the start button produces no response at all, the start switch itself may have failed. Only replace the motor after ruling these out. Signs that point specifically to the motor: a loud humming or buzzing when you press start (motor trying but can't turn), grinding or squealing from the motor area, or a motor that runs intermittently and cuts out.
Why does the motor hum but the drum doesn't turn?
A humming motor that won't turn is a classic sign of a seized or failing motor — the windings are energized (hence the hum) but the shaft can't rotate because the bearings have failed or the motor is mechanically stuck. This can also be caused by the blower wheel being jammed with lint or debris, preventing the shaft from turning — so before condemning the motor, check the blower wheel for obstructions. If the blower wheel spins freely and the motor still hums without turning, the motor has failed and needs replacement. Note: a humming motor that won't start will eventually trip the thermal fuse as a safety measure, so you may need to replace both the motor and the thermal fuse.
Why are there so many cross-reference part numbers for this motor?
The 279827 is one of the most extensively cross-referenced parts in the Whirlpool catalog because it's been the standard dryer drive motor across the Whirlpool platform for decades — spanning Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Roper, Estate, Kenmore, and many other brands that Whirlpool manufactures for. Over the years, the motor has been assigned different part numbers by different brands, distributors, and catalog systems (W10448892, W10396029, 8066206, 3395654, 3398046, etc.), but they all point to the same motor. If your old motor shows ANY of those numbers, the 279827 is the correct replacement.
Does this motor come with the pulley?
Yes — the pulley is pre-attached to the motor and is not available separately. The pulley is what the drum belt rides on, transferring the motor's rotation to the drum. If your old motor's pulley was worn or grooved (a common cause of belt slipping and squealing), the new 279827 includes a fresh pulley. You will need to transfer the blower wheel from your old motor to the new one — the blower wheel is not included.
Should I replace the belt and idler pulley while changing the motor?
It's strongly recommended. When you replace the motor, the dryer is already apart and both the drum belt and idler pulley are right there in your hands. All three components wear from the same friction and heat cycles, and installing a new motor with a worn belt or a seized idler pulley puts unnecessary stress on the new motor from day one. Many technicians replace the belt, idler pulley, and drum support rollers as standard maintenance whenever the dryer is opened for a motor replacement — the combined cost of these parts is modest compared to the labor of disassembling the dryer again later.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications. It is the exact same drive motor with pulley installed in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Estate, and Kenmore dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

A00126401 Genuine OEM Frigidaire Dishwasher Drain Pump Motor
The A00126401 is a genuine Frigidaire OEM drain pump motor assembly for Frigidaire, Electrolux, Crosley, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, Tappan, and Kenmore dishwashers. At the end of each wash cycle, this pump is what actually pushes the used wash water out of the tub and through the drain hose, clearing the way for the next fill. An internal impeller spins to create that flow, drawing water in and forcing it out through the drain line.
Rated 120V, 60Hz, 35W, 0.8A, 3600RPM, with 1/4" male terminals, this assembly includes the pump motor, impeller, and seal. Common causes of failure include clogs from food particles or debris interfering with the impeller, worn or damaged impeller blades, and electrical failure of the motor itself. A failing drain pump typically shows up as water not draining from the dishwasher, water pooling at the bottom of the tub after a cycle, a grinding or humming noise from the pump area, or the dishwasher refusing to start a new cycle because it detects standing water left over from the last one. It directly replaces AP5690431, 154736201, 3015405, 5304492415, PS8689824, DW26401, PD00000922, and EAP2363535.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dishwasher Before Starting — Rule Out A Simple Clog First Before replacing the pump, check the drain hose and the sump screen at the bottom of the tub for a clog — food debris and buildup in the hose can produce identical "won't drain" symptoms to a failed pump, and clearing a clog costs nothing but a few minutes. One customer replaced the pump entirely, still had no drainage, and only afterward discovered the actual cause was a clogged drain hose; disconnecting and running a cycle without the hose attached can help confirm whether the pump itself is pushing water. Once you've confirmed the pump needs replacing, disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker, and pull the dishwasher out from under the counter for access to the underside — removing the two screws securing it to the counter first. Have a drain pan or towels ready for residual water. Photograph the wiring and hose connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the two wire connectors from the old pump, remove the three screws securing it in place, and disconnect the hose connections, then pull the old pump free. Install the new A00126401 in the same position, reconnect the hose connections, and reconnect the two wire connectors. Secure the pump with its three mounting screws. Slide the dishwasher back into place and secure it to the counter, restore power, and run a full test cycle to confirm normal draining with no leaks or unusual noise. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, flat-blade screwdriver, needle-nose pliers, drain pan, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dishwasher won't drain. How do I know if it's actually the pump and not something simpler?
Check the drain hose and the sump screen at the bottom of the tub for a clog first — this is a genuinely common cause of "won't drain" symptoms and costs nothing to rule out. If the hose and screen are clear and the pump still won't run, test the pump motor with a multimeter for continuity. If there's no continuity, or the pump is getting power but still won't run, replacement is the correct fix.
I already replaced the pump and it's still not draining. What should I check next?
This has happened to real customers, and the cause was ultimately a clogged drain hose rather than the pump itself. If replacing the pump didn't solve the drainage problem, disconnect the drain hose and run a test cycle to see whether water is being pushed out at all — if it is, the hose downstream is the likely culprit and worth snaking out or replacing.
Does this kit include the check valve flapper?
This varies by supplier batch — this assembly reliably includes the pump motor, impeller, and seal, but flapper inclusion isn't consistent across all sources. Inspect your old pump's flapper for wear or damage before installation, and contact our support team if you need to confirm whether a flapper is included with your specific order.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original motor speed, impeller design, and terminal configuration of the drain pump originally installed in your dishwasher.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer and Shut Off Water Before Starting Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before beginning any repair. Place towels and a shallow pan at the front of the washer to catch residual water. Open the small access panel at the lower front of the washer and drain any remaining water through the drain hose or filter port. Remove the front panel of the washer by unscrewing the top panel screws, then removing the door gasket retaining wire and door latch screws to free the front panel. With the front panel removed, the drain pump assembly is now visible at the lower front. Use a flat-head screwdriver to release the pump mounting clip, then disconnect the drain hoses using pliers to loosen the clamps. Disconnect the wire harness from the pump motor. Pull the motor assembly out of the pump housing. Install the new 4681EA2001T motor into the existing housing, reconnect the hoses and wire harness, secure the pump clip, and reassemble the front panel. Restore power and water supply, then run a drain/spin cycle to verify proper drainage. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, flat-head screwdriver, needle-nose pliers, slip-joint pliers, shallow pan.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 4681EA2001T and 4681EA2001N?
These are the same drain pump motor — 4681EA2001T is the updated current part number that replaced the older 4681EA2001N. LG issued the updated number during a production cycle revision. If your washer or its documentation shows 4681EA2001N, 4681EA2001D, or any other older variant, the 4681EA2001T is the correct replacement to order.
What does the OE error code mean on an LG washer?
OE (or OE error) stands for "Outlet Error" — it means the washer was unable to drain within the expected time. Common causes include a clogged drain filter, a blocked or kinked drain hose, or a failed drain pump motor. Before replacing the motor, check and clean the drain filter and inspect the drain hose for kinks or blockages. If both are clear and the washer still shows OE, the pump motor has likely failed and needs replacement.
Does this include the pump housing?
No — the 4681EA2001T is the motor assembly only. It installs into your washer's existing pump housing, which is not included and does not need to be replaced in most cases. If your pump housing is cracked or damaged, you will need to source it separately. In most repairs, the housing is reused and only the motor assembly is replaced.
Should I check the drain filter before replacing the pump motor?
Yes — always check and clean the drain filter first. LG front-load washers have a coin trap and filter at the lower front that should be cleaned regularly. A heavily clogged filter or a foreign object jammed in the impeller can cause OE errors and loud humming without the pump motor being permanently damaged. Remove the filter, clear debris from the impeller area, and test the washer. If the problem persists after cleaning, the motor is the likely culprit.
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 from durable metal and ABS plastic to match the electrical specifications and performance of the original 4681EA2001T drain pump motor assembly.

XPARTCO WR60X26866 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor (OE)
The XPARTCO WR60X26866 (OE — Original Equipment specification) is replacement axial evaporator fan motor built to OEM 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.
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. Installs in 20–30 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 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.
