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. Common Problems This Part Fixes Outdoor AC unit hums but the compressor won't start Condenser fan won't spin, or spins slowly and needs a manual push to get going System trips the breaker shortly after starting AC blows warm air because the compressor isn't running Repeated clicking sound from the contactor as it tries and fails to start the motor Capacitor can visibly bulging, domed on top, or leaking oily residue System that used to start slowly and has now stopped starting altogether Burning smell from the outdoor unit's electrical compartment 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 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.

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.

XPARTCO EAU63923603 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor The XPARTCO EAU63923603 is an aftermarket replacement evaporator fan motor assembly compatible with a wide range of LG and Kenmore LG-built French door, side-by-side, and bottom-freezer refrigerators — including the LFCC, LFCS, LFXC, LFXS, LMXC, LMXS, LRDCS, LRFCS, LRFDS, LRFWS, LRFXS, LRMVS, LRMXC, and LRMXS series. The evaporator fan motor draws air across the cold evaporator coils and circulates it through the fresh food compartment. This constant airflow is what keeps the refrigerator section at temperature. When the fan motor fails, the most telling symptom is that the refrigerator section runs warm while the freezer stays cold — because the coils are still producing cold, but nothing is moving that air up into the fridge. Electrical specs: DC 12V, 1.0A, with a 4-pin connector. Motor body: 75 x 55 x 25 mm. Shaft: 46 mm (1.81") long, 3.0 mm diameter. Lead length: 70 cm (27.5").

Wear work gloves to protect your hands. The evaporator fan motor is located behind the rear evaporator access panel. Remove the shelves, drawers, and any items blocking access to the back wall of the compartment. If there's frost or ice buildup on the panel or coils, allow it to thaw completely before continuing — never chip or pry ice off the evaporator coils, as the aluminum fins damage easily and a damaged coil is a far more expensive repair. Remove the screws securing the rear access panel and lift it away to expose the evaporator coils and fan motor. Photograph the wiring connection, fan blade position, and motor orientation before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the 4-pin wiring connector by gently pulling the plug. Remove the fan blade from the motor shaft (note its orientation — it must go back the same way), then remove the mounting screws holding the motor in place and lift out the old motor. Install the new EAU63923603 motor in the same position and orientation — the mounting holes and connector location match the original even though the body may look slightly larger. Secure the mounting hardware, reinstall the fan blade on the 3.0 mm shaft, and reconnect the 4-pin wiring connector until it seats firmly. Confirm the fan blade spins freely by hand without rubbing on any surrounding surface. Reinstall the rear access panel, shelves, and drawers. Plug the refrigerator back in and allow several hours for the unit to return to its set temperature before reloading with food. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions My refrigerator section is warm but the freezer is still cold — is this the fan motor? This is the single most common and telling symptom of a failed evaporator fan motor. Here's why: the evaporator coils (which produce the cold) sit in the freezer section, and the evaporator fan is what pushes that cold air into the fresh food compartment. When the fan motor fails, the freezer stays cold (it's right next to the coils) but the fridge warms up because no air is being circulated to it. If your freezer is cold and your fridge is warm, the evaporator fan motor is the prime suspect. You can confirm by listening for the fan when the compressor runs, or by opening the rear evaporator panel to see if the fan spins. The new motor looks bigger than my old one — is it the right part? Yes — this is an upgraded replacement design, and it's normal for the motor body to appear slightly larger than the original LG unit. What matters is that the mounting holes and connector locations are identical to the original, so it bolts into the same position and plugs into the same 4-pin harness. The shaft (46 mm long, 3.0 mm diameter) also matches, so your existing fan blade transfers over. Compatibility is unchanged. If you have any concern, compare the mounting hole spacing and the connector to your old motor before installing. Why is my evaporator fan making noise? A noisy evaporator fan usually means one of two things: the motor bearings are wearing out (producing grinding, buzzing, or squealing), or the fan blade is rubbing against frost or ice that has built up around it. If frost buildup is the cause, that often points to a secondary problem in the defrost system (defrost heater, sensor, or control) allowing ice to accumulate where it shouldn't. Replacing a worn-out fan motor resolves the bearing noise. If heavy frost keeps returning after replacement, investigate the defrost system next. LG has several similar fan motors — how do I know this is the right one? LG uses several different evaporator fan motors across its refrigerator lineup, and while they look similar, they differ in voltage, current, shaft dimensions, and connector style. The EAU63923603 is a DC 12V / 1.0A motor with a 4-pin connector, 46 mm shaft, and 70 cm lead, used across the LFCC/LFCS/LFXC/LFXS/LMXC/LMXS/LRDCS/LRFCS/LRFDS/LRFWS/LRFXS/LRMVS/LRMXC/LRMXS series. Before ordering, find the part number printed on your old motor and confirm it's EAU63923603 or one of the listed cross-references (EAU65058305, EAU63923606, AP6317197, PS12383671). If your motor shows a different number, contact our support team with your model number and we'll confirm the correct motor. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine LG OEM part, but is manufactured with an ABS housing and quality metal internal components to match the electrical specifications (DC 12V, 1.0A), 4-pin connector, shaft dimensions (46 mm x 3.0 mm), mounting hole pattern, and cooling function of the original EAU63923603 evaporator fan motor used in compatible LG and Kenmore LG-built refrigerators.

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

Wear work gloves. Before removing the old motor, look closely at its connector: confirm it's a plain 4-wire harness with no thermistor wire and no separate light connector, matching this replacement. Access is through the freezer's rear interior panel: remove shelving and bins as needed, then remove the screws securing the back panel to expose the evaporator coil and fan assembly. If there's significant frost or ice around the fan or coil, let the unit sit unplugged with the door open for a few hours, or run a manual defrost, before continuing. Photograph the wiring harness connector and the fan blade's orientation before disconnecting anything. Unplug the motor's wiring harness connector, remove the mounting screws or clips holding the motor bracket in place, and pull the motor and fan blade assembly free. Transfer the fan blade to the new motor if a blade isn't included, matching the original orientation. Mount the new WR60X10185 in the same position, reconnect the wiring harness connector fully, and confirm the blade spins freely by hand without contacting the housing before reassembling the back panel. Restore power and monitor both compartments over the next 24 hours to confirm even, consistent cooling has returned. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions How do I know if I need this motor or the one with the thermistor? Look directly at your old motor's electrical connector before ordering. This WR60X10185 motor has a plain 4-wire harness on a 6-pin plug, with two of the six pin positions left empty — there's no thermistor wire involved. If your connector instead has a white thermistor wire running into it, you'll need WR60X10074, which includes an integrated thermistor and is not interchangeable with this motor. If your connector has a separate plug specifically for a freezer light, you'll need WR23X10467 instead. My fresh food section is warm but the freezer seems fine. Is this the right part? Yes, this is a very common and telling symptom pattern. The freezer sits right next to the evaporator coil and can stay reasonably cold through proximity even with weakening air circulation, but the fresh food compartment depends entirely on the fan pushing cold air through the ducting to reach it. When the fan motor fails or slows down, the fresh food side is usually the first and most noticeably affected area, and GE's own guidance confirms that a fresh-food-warm/freezer-fine pattern points to this fan. Why would a fan motor "burn out quickly" instead of just wearing out slowly? While this motor generally has a long service life, it can fail rapidly if something obstructs the fan blade from turning — commonly built-up frost or ice, or occasionally debris. When the blade can't turn freely, the motor works against resistance it wasn't designed for, which accelerates internal wear and can burn it out much faster than normal aging would. Clearing ice from around the fan before or during replacement helps prevent stressing the new motor the same way. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured to match the original 9.75V, 3.25W motor design, blade fitment, and 4-wire harness configuration of the fan motor originally installed in your refrigerator.

Wear work gloves. Locate the evaporator fan motor, typically found behind an interior panel covering the evaporator coil assembly in the freezer or fresh food compartment depending on your model. If there's noticeable frost or ice buildup around the fan or coil, allow it to fully defrost before continuing. 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 W10822580 in the same position, reconnect the wiring harness fully, and secure the mounting hardware. Reinstall the interior panel. Restore power and monitor the refrigerator'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 refrigerator is running warm. Is this the part I need? It's a strong possibility, since this is one of the more common causes of a refrigerator or freezer running warmer than normal. That said, per the parts distributor's own guidance, this is intended as a general guideline rather than a certain diagnosis, since other components can produce the same symptom. Confirming with a technician or checking related parts first can help avoid an unnecessary purchase if something else turns out to be the cause. My refrigerator has frost buildup. Could this motor be involved? Yes, this is one of the documented symptoms tied to this motor. If airflow through the evaporator area isn't circulating properly due to a failing fan motor, frost can build up excessively in ways that wouldn't happen with normal airflow. Should I check anything before replacing this motor? If there's frost or ice buildup around the fan or evaporator coil, it's worth letting that clear before installing the new motor, since built-up ice can restrict the fan's movement and give a false impression that the motor itself has failed. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the motor design, dimensions, and connection type of the original W10822580 evaporator fan motor used in compatible Whirlpool, Roper, Admiral, Maytag, and related refrigerators.

XPARTCO XPDC50X5-450R Dual Run Capacitor (50/5 MFD, 450V, Round) The XPARTCO XPDC50X5-450R 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 50 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 XPDC50X5-450R 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. 50 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. Common Problems This Part Fixes Outdoor AC unit hums but the compressor won't start Condenser fan won't spin, or spins slowly and needs a manual push to get going System trips the breaker shortly after starting AC blows warm air because the compressor isn't running Repeated clicking sound from the contactor as it tries and fails to start the motor Capacitor can visibly bulging, domed on top, or leaking oily residue System that used to start slowly and has now stopped starting altogether Burning smell from the outdoor unit's electrical compartment 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 XPDC50X5-450R 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 50 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: 50 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.

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 XPDC50X5-450R 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 50/5 MFD, 450VAC, round dual run capacitor rating — regardless of which HVAC brand originally installed it.

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.

Wear work gloves to protect your hands. The evaporator fan motor is located at the back of the freezer compartment, behind an interior access panel. Remove the freezer shelves and any internal components blocking access to the rear panel. Remove the screws holding the rear access panel in place to expose the evaporator coils and fan motor. Photograph the wire connections and fan blade orientation before disconnecting. Disconnect the 2-pin wire harness connector and the ground wire from the old motor. Note the orientation of the fan blade on the motor shaft — the blade typically presses onto the shaft and may need to be transferred to the new motor. Remove the mounting screws or release the motor from its mounting bracket, and pull the old motor free. Carefully transfer the fan blade to the new WR60X31522 motor in the same orientation (or use a new blade if you have one). Install the new motor in the same position, reconnect the wire harness and ground wire, and reinstall the access panel and shelves. Plug the refrigerator back in and allow several hours for the unit to return to its set temperature before reloading with food. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions How do I know if the evaporator fan motor has failed? The most common symptoms are: the refrigerator or freezer is warmer than its set temperature even though the compressor sounds like it's running normally; heavy frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coils behind the freezer access panel ("Antarctica" frost); and loud whining, grinding, or scraping noise from the freezer area. To confirm: unplug the refrigerator, remove the rear freezer access panel, and try turning the fan blade by hand. If it doesn't spin freely or is stiff/seized, the motor bearing has failed. You can also test for motor continuity with a multimeter — no continuity confirms electrical failure. My refrigerator has two evaporator fans — which one does this replace? Some refrigerator models have two evaporator fan motors — one in the fresh food section and one in the freezer section. The WR60X31522 is typically the freezer-section evaporator fan motor on top-mount style GE and Hotpoint refrigerators. If your symptom is "freezer not cooling properly" or "frost on freezer coils," this is the correct part. If your symptom is specifically "fresh food section warm while freezer is fine" on a French door refrigerator, you may need a different fan motor — contact our support team with your model number to confirm. Does this motor come with the fan blade? No — the WR60X31522 listing is for the motor with harness and plug only. The fan blade is typically transferred from the old motor: carefully pull it off the old motor shaft (it presses on, no hardware needed), and press it onto the new motor shaft in the same orientation. If your old fan blade is damaged or cracked, it should be replaced separately. Installing the blade in the wrong direction will reverse the airflow and reduce cooling performance. What's the difference between the WR60X31522 (115V AC) and DC motors like the WR60X10209 or WR60X26866? GE refrigerators use different fan motor technologies across model generations. The WR60X31522 is a 115V AC motor with a 2-pin connector plus ground — used in many GE and Hotpoint top-mount freezer refrigerators. The WR60X10209 and WR60X26866 are DC voltage motors (around 11–14V DC) used in newer GE French door refrigerators with electronic control boards that supply variable DC voltage for energy-efficient variable-speed fan operation. These are not interchangeable — always verify the correct part number for your specific refrigerator model before ordering. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by GE to factory specifications. It is the exact same evaporator fan motor installed in compatible GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Americana refrigerators from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

XPARTCO 2315549 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor Replaces WP2315549 The XPARTCO 2315549 is an aftermarket replacement evaporator fan motor for Whirlpool-built side-by-side refrigerators, located in the freezer section. This small motor pulls cold air off the evaporator coil and pushes it through the duct system to both the freezer and fresh food compartments. Without it circulating air, the coil itself keeps getting cold, but that cold air never reaches your food — the freezer, being closest to the coil, may hold up reasonably well for a while, but the fresh food compartment depends entirely on ducted airflow and drifts warmer and warmer as circulation weakens or stops. This motor ships complete with its wiring harness, so nothing needs to be spliced or transferred from the old unit. Common failure modes include worn motor bearings that let the blade wobble or bind, ice buildup on the coil that jams the blade, and electrical failure of the motor windings. A simple way to check before ordering: with the refrigerator unplugged, try turning the fan blade by hand — it should spin freely with no grinding or resistance. It directly replaces WP2315549, 2220569, 1193008, AP6007250, PS11740362, and EAP11740362. Quick Answer The XPARTCO 2315549 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor fixes Whirlpool-built side-by-side refrigerators with uneven cooling between compartments, frost buildup on the evaporator coil, unusual humming or buzzing noise, or a fresh food section that runs warmer than the freezer. Includes wiring harness. Replaces WP2315549, 2220569, 1193008, AP6007250, PS11740362, EAP11740362. Double-check the part number carefully — this is a different motor from our similarly numbered 2315539 listing, and the two are easy to mix up. Common Problems This Part Fixes Fresh food compartment running warmer than the freezer, or warmer than it used to Uneven temperatures between shelves or between the fresh food and freezer sides Frost or ice buildup accumulating on or around the evaporator coil Unusual humming, buzzing, or grinding noise coming from inside the freezer Noise that stops when the freezer door is opened and starts again once it's closed Refrigerator running constantly as the compressor tries to compensate for poor circulation Fan blade that doesn't spin freely, or spins with noticeable resistance, when checked by hand Fridge section too warm or too cold, freezer section too warm or too cold 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 Whirlpool-built side-by-side refrigerators across the Whirlpool family of brands, including: Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerators Maytag, Amana, and KitchenAid refrigerators (select Whirlpool-built models) Jenn-Air, Admiral, Norge, and Roper refrigerators (select models) Inglis refrigerators (select models) Select Kenmore and Ikea refrigerators built on the Whirlpool platform Verified model numbers include: 7GS2FHAXTA02, 7GS5FHAXTA00, ED2DHEXWB00, and ED2DHEXWL00. Note — easy to confuse with 2315539: This part is 2315549, production number ESF-U2A. It is a separate, distinct motor from our 2315539 listing (production number ESF-U2B, replacing 2219689, 2225625, and W10438708), which serves a different set of models. The two part numbers differ by only a single transposed digit and are frequently mistyped or mixed up when ordering — double-check your old motor's part number or your appliance's full model number carefully before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure which motor you need. Key Features Aftermarket replacement evaporator fan motor with wiring harness included — nothing to splice or transfer Circulates cold air from the evaporator coil throughout the freezer and fresh food compartments Resolves "fresh food too warm," "uneven cooling," "frost buildup," and "humming or buzzing noise" symptoms caused by fan motor failure Direct drop-in replacement matching the original mounting and blade fitment Replaces WP2315549, 2220569, 1193008, AP6007250, PS11740362, and EAP11740362 Compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Inglis, and select Kenmore refrigerators Aftermarket replacement built to OEM-equivalent quality standards Straightforward DIY repair — typically 15 to 30 minutes Product Specifications Part Number 2315549 OEM Part Number WP2315549 Production Number ESF-U2A Part Type Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor Condition Aftermarket Replacement Brand Whirlpool Location Freezer section, behind the rear panel near the evaporator coil Kit Contents Fan motor with wiring harness Application Side-by-Side Refrigerators Repair Difficulty Easy — 15 to 30 minutes Quantity 1 fan motor Compatible Brands Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Inglis, Kenmore Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Let The Freezer Thaw If Iced Over Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning, and move all food from the freezer to a cooler for the duration of the repair. Wear work gloves. Access is through the freezer's rear interior panel: remove the shelving and bins as needed, then remove the screws securing the back panel and set it aside to expose the evaporator coil and fan assembly. If you see significant frost or ice buildup around the fan or coil, let the unit sit unplugged with the door open for a few hours, or run a manual defrost, before continuing — ice can be masking the actual failure and can make the old motor difficult to remove cleanly. Photograph the wiring harness connector and the fan blade's orientation before disconnecting anything. Unplug the motor's wiring harness connector, remove the mounting screws or clips holding the motor bracket in place, and carefully pull the motor and fan blade assembly free — on many models the blade is a separate piece that pulls off the motor shaft. Transfer the fan blade to the new motor if a blade isn't included, matching the original orientation. Mount the new 2315549 in the same position, reconnect the wiring harness connector fully, and confirm the blade spins freely by hand without contacting the housing before reassembling the back panel. Restore power and monitor both compartments over the next 24 hours to confirm even cooling has returned. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions How is this different from your 2315539 listing? The numbers look almost identical. They are genuinely different motors that happen to have nearly identical part numbers — 2315549 versus 2315539, just one transposed digit. This 2315549 motor carries production number ESF-U2A and replaces WP2315549, 2220569, and 1193008. Our separate 2315539 listing carries production number ESF-U2B and replaces a different set of numbers (2219689, 2225625, W10438708) for a different group of models. Because the numbers are so easy to mix up, we'd strongly recommend double-checking the exact number on your old motor, or your full refrigerator model number, before ordering either one. My freezer seems fine but the fresh food section is warm. Is this the fan motor? Yes, this is a very common and telling symptom pattern. The freezer compartment sits right next to the evaporator coil and can stay reasonably cold through simple proximity even with poor air circulation, but the fresh food compartment depends entirely on the fan pushing cold air through the ducting to reach it. When the fan motor fails or slows down, the fresh food side is usually the first and most noticeably affected area. How can I test the motor before ordering a replacement? With the refrigerator unplugged and the rear freezer panel removed, try turning the fan blade by hand. It should spin freely and smoothly with no grinding, binding, or resistance. If it doesn't turn freely, or doesn't turn at all, the motor has very likely failed. Also listen for humming or buzzing while the refrigerator is running — a motor trying and failing to turn often makes noise without actually moving air. There's a lot of frost around the fan and coil. Should I address that first? It's worth understanding which came first. Excess frost can be a cause of fan failure — a jammed, ice-bound blade can burn out the motor over time — or a result of it, since poor air circulation lets moisture condense and freeze unevenly around the coil area. Either way, thawing the ice out fully before installing the new motor makes the repair easier and lets you confirm the blade spins freely once everything is defrosted. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the mounting, wiring harness configuration, and airflow performance of the original WP2315549 evaporator fan motor used in compatible Whirlpool-built side-by-side refrigerators.

XPARTCO XPDC60X5-450R Dual Run Capacitor (60/5 MFD, 450V, Round) The XPARTCO XPDC60X5-450R 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 60 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 XPDC60X5-450R 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. 60 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. Common Problems This Part Fixes Outdoor AC unit hums but the compressor won't start Condenser fan won't spin, or spins slowly and needs a manual push to get going System trips the breaker shortly after starting AC blows warm air because the compressor isn't running Repeated clicking sound from the contactor as it tries and fails to start the motor Capacitor can visibly bulging, domed on top, or leaking oily residue System that used to start slowly and has now stopped starting altogether Burning smell from the outdoor unit's electrical compartment 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 XPDC60X5-450R 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 60 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: 60 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. Key Features Universal dual run capacitor — supports both the compressor and condenser fan motor from one component 60 MFD compressor rating + 5 MFD fan motor rating in a single 3-terminal can 450VAC rating — a safe upgrade replacement for equipment originally speced at 370V or 440V Round aluminum can construction Resolves "hums but won't start," "fan spins slowly," "trips the breaker," and "bulging or leaking can" symptoms caused by capacitor failure 1/4" quick-connect terminals for a direct plug-on fit to standard HVAC wiring 50/60Hz rated Safety approved: CQC, VDE, TÜV, and CL; built to GB/T 3667 and EN 60252 standards Built to meet or exceed industry-standard specifications for this capacitor class Product Specifications Part Number XPDC60X5-450R Part Type Dual Run Capacitor Condition New — Universal Replacement Part Capacitance — Compressor 60 MFD (µF) Capacitance — Fan Motor 5 MFD (µF) Voltage Rating 450VAC Shape Round Terminals 3 (1/4" quick-connect) Frequency 50/60 Hz Tolerance ±5% Construction Type Polypropylene film capacitor Operating Temperature Range -40°C to 70°C (-40°F to +158°F) Safety Approvals CQC, VDE, TÜV, CL Approval Standard GB/T 3667, EN 60252 Application Central Air Conditioners, Heat Pumps, Condensing Units Quantity 1 dual run capacitor Compatible Brands Universal — all major HVAC brands 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 XPDC60X5-450R 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 60/5 MFD, 450VAC, round dual run capacitor rating — regardless of which HVAC brand originally installed it.

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

Compatibility This evaporator fan motor is compatible with select Samsung bottom-mount and side-by-side refrigerators, and also fits select Kenmore refrigerators built on the Samsung platform. Note — not the same motor as DA81-06013A: Samsung uses several different evaporator fan motor designs across its refrigerator lineup. The DA31-00334C is a distinct part from our DA81-06013A listing, which is built for a different model family and has its own connector and mounting configuration. Fitting the wrong motor can result in a connector that won't mate with your wiring harness or a fan blade that doesn't clear the housing correctly. Always verify your full model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure which motor fits your refrigerator.

Wear work gloves. Access is through the freezer's rear interior panel: remove the shelving and bins as needed, then remove the screws securing the back panel and set it aside to expose the evaporator coil and fan assembly. If you see significant frost or ice buildup around the fan or coil, let the unit sit unplugged with the door open for a few hours (or run a manual defrost) before continuing, since ice can be masking the actual point of failure and can also make the old motor difficult to remove cleanly. Photograph the wiring harness connector and the fan blade's orientation before disconnecting anything. Unplug the motor's wiring harness connector, remove the mounting screws or clips holding the motor bracket in place, and carefully pull the motor and fan blade assembly free — on many models the blade is a separate piece that pulls off the motor shaft. Transfer the fan blade to the new motor if it isn't included, or install the new blade supplied with this motor, matching the original orientation. Mount the new DA31-00334C in the same position, reconnect the wiring harness connector fully, and confirm the blade spins freely by hand without contacting the housing before reassembling the back panel. Restore power and monitor both compartments over the next 24 hours to confirm even cooling has returned. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions My freezer seems fine but the fresh food section is warm. Is this really the fan motor? Yes, this is a very common and telling symptom pattern. The freezer compartment sits right next to the evaporator coil and can stay reasonably cold through simple proximity even with poor air circulation, but the fresh food compartment depends entirely on the fan pushing cold air through the ducting to reach it. When the fan motor fails or slows down, the fresh food side is usually the first and most noticeably affected area, while the freezer may seem to lag only slightly behind. I hear a grinding or buzzing noise that stops when I open the freezer door. What does that mean? This is a classic symptom of a worn fan motor bearing or a blade that's catching on built-up frost. Opening the door often triggers the refrigerator's internal light switch or door sensor, which can cut power to the fan momentarily — the noise stops because the fan stops spinning, then resumes once the door closes and the fan restarts. If you can see or reach the fan blade with the freezer open, check whether it spins freely and smoothly by hand; a blade that wobbles, binds, or contacts the housing points to the motor as the cause. There's a lot of frost around the back panel of my freezer. Should I fix that before replacing the fan? It's worth understanding which came first. Excess frost can be a cause of fan failure — a jammed blade can burn out the motor over time — or a result of it, since poor air circulation lets moisture condense and freeze unevenly around the coil area. Either way, thawing the ice out fully before you install the new motor makes the repair easier and lets you confirm the blade spins freely once everything is defrosted, rather than immediately jamming again on refrozen ice. Do I need to transfer the fan blade from my old motor? It depends on what's included with your specific order — check whether a blade came with your new motor before removing the old one. If a blade is not included, the blade from your original motor typically pulls off the shaft and can be transferred over. Photograph the blade's orientation on the shaft before removing it so you can reinstall it the same way; an improperly oriented blade can affect airflow or contact the housing. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is manufactured to match the electrical specifications (12V DC, 2.5W, 0.12A, ~1,870 RPM), brushless motor design, and mounting configuration of the original DA31-00334C evaporator fan motor used in compatible Samsung and Kenmore refrigerators.
