Genuine OEM WR60X27396 Refrigerator Air Damper Assembly
The WR60X27396 is a genuine OEM air damper assembly for GE refrigerators, including side-by-side and bottom-mount models. The damper is a motorized flap that opens and closes to direct cold air from the freezer into the fresh food compartment, which is how the refrigerator keeps the fresh food section at the right temperature. When it sticks open or closed, or its motor stops working, the compartments fall out of balance: the fresh food section can run too warm or too cold, frost can build up, and the damper may make noise as it moves.
This is a genuine OEM part from GE Appliances, not an aftermarket equivalent, so the fit and operation match the original. It supersedes the earlier WR31X20918 damper assembly.

Genuine OEM from GE Appliances. Classic symptom: the freezer is cold but the fresh food section is warm, or the fresh food section freezes items, even with normal settings.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Fresh food section too warm while the freezer stays cold
Fresh food section too cold, freezing food
Damper stuck open or closed, causing a temperature imbalance
Unusual clicking or buzzing noises when the damper moves

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the refrigerator before starting, and move perishable food to a cooler or another refrigerator so it stays safe during the repair. Following your model's service guide, remove the panels or covers needed to reach the damper, which sits in the air path between the freezer and the fresh food section. Note the position of the old damper, disconnect its wiring connector, and remove the fasteners holding it in place. Install the new damper in the same position, reconnect the connector, and replace the panels. Restore power and allow time for the temperatures to stabilize before judging the repair.
Frequently Asked Questions
My freezer is cold but the fresh food section is warm. Is this the part I need?
It can be. If the damper is stuck closed, not enough cold air reaches the fresh food section. Before replacing it, check that the vents aren't blocked by food and that frost isn't jamming the damper. A stuck or failed damper is a likely cause when those are clear.
My fresh food section is freezing my food. Could this be the damper?
Yes. A damper stuck open lets too much cold air in from the freezer, which can freeze items in the fresh food section.
My old damper is marked WR31X20918. Will this work?
Yes. WR31X20918 is on the Replaces list, and WR60X27396 is its current replacement. If you're unsure, contact our support team with your model number and we'll confirm.
Is this a genuine GE part?
Yes. This is a genuine OEM part from GE Appliances, not an aftermarket equivalent.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator and Move Perishable Food Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Unplug the refrigerator and safely store any food that could spoil while the power is off. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. The evaporator fan motor is located behind the rear access panel inside the freezer compartment. Remove the freezer shelves and any internal components blocking access to the rear panel. Remove the screws holding the rear access panel to expose the evaporator coils and fan motor (a 1/4" hex driver is commonly needed). Photograph the wire connections and fan blade orientation before disconnecting. Disconnect the wire harness connector from the old motor. Note the orientation of the fan blade on the motor shaft and the position of the two rubber mounting grommets — both must be transferred to the new motor. Remove the mounting screws or release the motor from its bracket, and pull the old motor free. Transfer the rubber grommets and fan blade (if not pre-installed) to the new 2315539 motor in the same orientation. Install the new motor in the same position, reconnect the wire harness, 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: 1/4" hex driver, Phillips screwdriver, flathead screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My freezer is making loud noise — is it the evaporator fan motor?
Yes, this is the most recognizable symptom of a failed evaporator fan motor on Whirlpool-platform refrigerators. When the motor's bearings wear out, it produces loud humming, whining, grinding, or scraping noises during operation. The noise often varies as the fan speed changes or as ice builds up around the fan blade. To confirm, unplug the refrigerator and access the fan behind the rear freezer panel — try turning the blade by hand. If it doesn't spin freely, is stiff, or seizes, the motor bearing has failed and needs replacement.
My freezer is cold but my fridge is warm — could this be the cause?
Yes — on many Whirlpool-platform refrigerators, the freezer's evaporator fan motor is responsible for circulating cool air from the freezer evaporator into the fresh food compartment as well. When this fan fails, the freezer's own compartment may stay cold because the cold air is generated right there, but the fresh food section warms up because no air is being moved into it. If your fridge is warm while the freezer remains cold, this is a likely cause — especially if you also hear unusual noise from the freezer area or see ice buildup on the evaporator coils.
What is the difference between 2315539 and WP2315539?
These are the same evaporator fan motor. WP2315539 is the updated Whirlpool OEM part number that superseded the original 2315539. The 2219689, 2225625, W10438708, and ESF-U2B are also cross-references for this same motor across various Whirlpool catalog revisions and production runs. This aftermarket replacement is compatible with all of these numbers.
Why do I need to transfer the rubber grommets from the old motor?
The two rubber grommets seat between the motor housing and the mounting bracket inside the refrigerator. They isolate the motor from the cabinet to dampen vibration and reduce noise during operation, and they also keep the motor properly positioned in its mount. The new 2315539 typically ships without these grommets — they are reused from the old motor. Remove them carefully from the old motor before discarding it, and slide them onto the new motor in the same positions. Without the grommets, the motor may run noisily or vibrate excessively.
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 dimensions, electrical specifications (115V AC, 60Hz, clockwise rotation), incorporated wire harness, and function of the original WP2315539/2315539 evaporator fan motor.

XPARTCO WR60X26866 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
The XPARTCO WR60X26866 is an aftermarket replacement axial evaporator fan motor for the fresh food section of select GE French door refrigerators, including the CFE28, CFE29, CWE23, CYE22, CYE23, DFE28, DFE29, GFD28, GFE26, GFE27, GFE28, GFE29, GFS26, GFS28, GNE26, GNE29, GYE22, GYS22, PFD28, PFE28, PFE29, PWE23, PYD22, PYE22, PYE23, and ZWE23 series. The evaporator fan motor pulls air through the evaporator coils to remove heat from the circulating air inside the refrigerator. Without a functioning evaporator fan, the refrigerator compartment cannot maintain its target temperature even when the compressor and condenser are running normally — the cold air generated at the evaporator simply isn't being circulated to the food storage areas.
The WR60X26866 is a DC motor rated at 13.6V DC, 0.16A, with a fan housing measuring 3-4/7"L x 2"W x 3-1/8"H, plus a multi-color wire harness and plug approximately 11-1/2" long. It includes the axial fan blade and harness as a complete assembly.

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

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator and Move Perishable Food Before Starting — Don't Touch Heater with Bare Hands Unplug the refrigerator and safely store any food that could spoil while the power is off. Wear work gloves and safety glasses to protect your hands and eyes. Handle the new heater only by its mounting brackets or end terminals — do NOT touch the heating element directly with bare fingers; skin oils can cause hot spots and shorten the heater's life. The defrost heater is mounted near the evaporator coils, behind the rear interior access panel of the freezer compartment. Remove all freezer shelves, drawers, and the ice maker (if equipped) to clear access. If there's a heavy ice sheet covering the back wall, allow the freezer to thaw completely or carefully manually defrost the coils before continuing — never break ice off the coils, as this damages the aluminum fins. Once the area is clear, remove the screws securing the rear access panel and lift it away to expose the evaporator coils and the defrost heater. Photograph the wire connections and heater orientation before disconnecting. Disconnect the wire harness connectors from the old heater, release the heater from its mounting clips or brackets, and lift it out. Install the new 5304524953 heater in the same position, ensuring it's properly seated in the mounting brackets, and reconnect the wire harness. While the panel is open, inspect the defrost thermostat for damage — if it's brittle, discolored, or shows visible defects, this is the ideal time to replace it as well. Reinstall the rear access panel, shelves, drawers, and ice maker. Plug the refrigerator back in and allow several hours for the unit to return to its set temperature before reloading with food. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, work gloves, safety glasses.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if the defrost heater has failed?
The most reliable sign is heavy frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coils behind the freezer back panel — when the heater can't melt the frost as designed, ice accumulates until it blocks airflow and cooling efficiency drops. You may also notice the freezer or fresh food section running warm, the compressor running continuously, or food spoiling faster than normal. To confirm with the refrigerator unplugged: remove the rear freezer access panel, disconnect the heater's wire harness, and test the heater's terminals with a multimeter set to continuity mode. A working heater shows continuity (low resistance); a failed heater shows an open circuit (infinite resistance). If you measure no continuity, the heater has burned out and needs replacement.
Should I replace the defrost thermostat and timer at the same time?
Yes, it's strongly recommended. The defrost heater, defrost thermostat, and defrost timer/control board work together as a system — the timer (or control board on newer models) initiates the defrost cycle, the thermostat monitors the temperature at the coils and terminates the cycle when the coils are above freezing, and the heater provides the heat that melts the frost. When one component fails, the others have typically experienced similar age and stress, and a near-term failure of another defrost component is common. Since the rear access panel must already be off and the components are right next to each other, replacing all three in a single session prevents a repeat repair down the road.
Should I manually defrost my freezer before installing the new heater?
If there's significant ice buildup on the evaporator coils or rear wall, yes — you need to clear it before installing the new heater. Leave the freezer empty and unplugged with the door open for 12–24 hours (or longer for heavy ice) to let everything thaw naturally. Place towels at the base to catch melt water. Do NOT chip or pry ice off the evaporator coils with any tool — the aluminum fins damage easily and a damaged coil is a far more expensive repair. Once everything is fully thawed and dried, you can proceed with the heater replacement.
My refrigerator/freezer has multiple defrost heater-related part numbers — which one do I need?
Frigidaire/Electrolux uses different defrost heater part numbers across different generations and models. The 5304524953 is specifically used in the Frigidaire Professional 19 cu. ft. single-door FPRU19F8 series refrigerators and FPFU19F8 series upright freezers, plus a smaller set of related Frigidaire-platform models. Before ordering, confirm your refrigerator or freezer's model number is in the compatibility list above, or check your appliance's parts diagram to verify that 5304524953 (or one of its cross-references 5304523833, AP6997296, PS16227227, 4975045) is the correct part for your specific model. If your unit is a side-by-side, French door, or other style, you may need a different defrost heater.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Frigidaire/Electrolux to factory specifications. It is the exact same defrost heater assembly installed in compatible Frigidaire, Electrolux, Crosley, Gibson, Kelvinator, Tappan, Westinghouse, White-Westinghouse, and Kenmore Frigidaire-built refrigerators and freezers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
