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.

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.

WP2315539 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
The WP2315539 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM evaporator fan motor for Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerators. This motor draws air across the evaporator coil, cooling it, and circulates that cold air from the freezer into the fresh food compartment, keeping both sides of the refrigerator at consistent, even temperatures and preventing warm spots that can lead to food spoilage. This part features an incorporated wire harness.
Over time, the motor's bearings wear out or the motor fails electrically, and when this happens it commonly generates noticeable noise from the freezer area before it fails completely. Symptoms include unusual noise from the freezer, the fresh food compartment running warm while the freezer stays cold, ice buildup on the evaporator coil, or inconsistent cooling overall. It directly replaces 2219689, 2225625, 2315539, W10438708, and WP2315539VP.

Install the new WP2315539 in the same position, reconnect the wiring harness, and secure the new motor with the mounting screws. Replace the rear access panel and restore power, then check to confirm the fan motor is working properly and both compartments are cooling evenly. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, flathead screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My freezer is getting noisy. Is this the evaporator fan motor?
It's a strong possibility. When this motor's bearings begin to wear, it commonly generates noticeable noise in the freezer area well before it fails outright. If you're hearing new or increasing noise from the freezer, this motor is a reasonable first thing to check.
Does this motor include the wire harness, or do I need to buy that separately?
This motor comes with an incorporated wire harness already attached, so no separate harness purchase is needed for a standard installation. If your original motor's connector setup looks different from what's included here, double-check compatibility with our support team before ordering.
Is this the same as the 2315549 motor I've seen listed elsewhere?
No, these are two separate part numbers that are easy to confuse given how similar they look. Always confirm the exact part number from your refrigerator's parts diagram or the sticker on your old motor rather than assuming based on a close number match.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original motor design, wire harness, and blade fitment of the evaporator fan motor originally installed in your refrigerator.

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 in the freezer compartment behind the rear access panel. Remove all freezer shelves, drawers, and the ice maker (if equipped) to clear access to the back wall. If there's frost or ice buildup on the rear panel or coils, allow the freezer to thaw completely before continuing — never chip or pry ice off the evaporator coils, as the aluminum fins damage easily. Remove the screws securing the rear freezer access panel and lift it away to expose the evaporator coils and fan motor assembly. Photograph the wiring harness connections and the fan motor orientation before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the wire harness connectors from the old assembly and release it from its mounting points. Lift out the old fan motor assembly. Install the new W11224591 assembly using the original mounting points and connectors — since this is a complete assembly, the fan motor, harness, temperature sensor, and defrost thermostat all transfer as one unit. Reconnect the wiring harness, matching your photos. Confirm the fan blade spins freely by hand without rubbing on any surrounding surface. 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. Test airflow and temperature consistency before considering the job complete. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" 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 on these bottom-mount French door refrigerators. Here's why: the evaporator coils (which produce the cold) are in the freezer, and the evaporator fan is what pushes that cold air up into the fresh food compartment. When the fan motor fails, the freezer stays cold (it's right next to the coils) but the fridge section 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 running when the compressor is on, or opening the freezer rear panel to see if the fan spins.
What's included with this part — is it just the motor?
This is a complete assembly, not just the bare motor. It includes the fan motor, the wiring harness, the temperature sensor (thermistor), and the defrost thermostat — all integrated into one unit. This is actually an advantage: since these components live together in the freezer compartment and can each cause cooling problems, replacing them as a bundle addresses multiple potential failure points in a single repair, reducing the chance you'll be back in the freezer compartment a few months later for a related part.
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 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 with the defrost system (defrost heater, thermostat, or control) allowing ice to accumulate where it shouldn't. Since this replacement assembly includes a new defrost thermostat, it addresses one of the common defrost-related causes. If heavy frost keeps returning after replacement, the defrost heater or control board should be investigated next.
Do I need to defrost the freezer before installing this?
If there's frost or ice buildup on the rear freezer panel or evaporator coils, yes — clear it before installing the new assembly. Leave the freezer empty and unplugged with the door open for several hours (longer for heavy ice) to let everything thaw naturally, placing towels at the base to catch melt water. Never chip or pry ice off the evaporator coils with a tool — the aluminum fins are delicate and a damaged coil is a far more expensive repair. Once everything is fully thawed and dried, proceed with the fan motor replacement.
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 fit, mounting points, connector configuration, and function of the original W11224591 evaporator fan motor assembly used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, and Kenmore bottom-mount French door refrigerators — including the integrated harness, temperature sensor, and defrost thermostat.

WR60X31522 GE Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
The WR60X31522 is a OE replacement evaporator fan motor compatible with select GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Americana top-mount freezer refrigerators. The evaporator fan motor is located at the back of the freezer compartment and circulates air across the evaporator coils — converting the heat from the air into cool air that's then distributed throughout both the freezer and fresh food sections. Without a properly functioning evaporator fan, the refrigerator can't move cold air where it's needed, causing the fresh food and/or freezer sections to warm up, ice to build up on the coils, and the compressor to run continuously trying to compensate.
This 115V AC motor is rated at 60Hz, 3.3W and uses a 2-pin connector plus ground wire. Dimensions are 3-1/4"L x 2-3/8"W x 3-3/8"H, with a harness and plug extending approximately 3-1/2" from the motor. Construction is plastic and metal in marbled white & gray. Note: this listing is for the motor with harness only — the fan blade may need to be transferred from the old motor. It directly replaces WR60X10045, WR60X10046, WR60X10072, WR60X10138, WR60X10141, WR60X10346, WR60X23584, WR60X27646, WR60X28783, WR60X28784, WR60X31122, WR60X31523, 4959523, 197D2038P031, AP6977246, EAP12741350, PD00062864, and PS12741350.

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

XPARTCO WR60X35205 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
The XPARTCO WR60X35205 is an aftermarket replacement fresh food evaporator fan motor for GE refrigerators. This small DC motor drives the fan that circulates cold air from the evaporator across the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment, keeping temperature consistent throughout the section — especially important on larger or multi-zone units where air needs to reach multiple shelves and drawers evenly. When the motor's bearings wear out or the windings fail, airflow to the fresh food section drops off even though the freezer keeps working normally, since the two compartments typically run on separate fan motors.
Rated 13.6V DC, 0.16A, this is a direct-fit aftermarket replacement built to the same mounting and electrical specification as the original motor. A quieter-running motor than a worn original is a common result after replacement, since failing bearings are often what make the old motor noisy before it fails outright.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WR60X35205 Evaporator Fan Motor fixes a GE refrigerator whose fresh food (fridge) compartment is running warm while the freezer still works fine, or that makes a new buzzing/grinding noise from the fan area. 13.6V DC / 0.16A, direct-fit replacement. Classic symptom: fridge section creeping up toward 50-55°F while the freezer stays cold, often paired with a noisy fan just before failure.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Fresh food (refrigerator) compartment running warm while the freezer stays cold
Buzzing, grinding, or rattling noise from the fan area — often a sign of a failing bearing
Inconsistent or uneven cooling across refrigerator shelves and drawers
Food in the bottom crisper drawers freezing unexpectedly due to airflow imbalance
Fan not running at all, or running intermittently

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the refrigerator or switch off its circuit breaker before beginning. Remove the interior back panel or evaporator cover inside the fresh food compartment per your model's service guide — you may need to remove shelves or drawers first for access. Some models require a short defrost/thaw wait if frost has built up around the evaporator assembly. Disconnect the wire harness from the old fan motor, remove the mounting screws or clips, and note the fan blade's orientation before removing it. Transfer the fan blade to the new motor if it isn't included, install the new motor in the same position, reconnect the wire harness, and reinstall the cover and any shelves. Restore power and confirm the fan runs quietly and the compartment begins cooling normally.
Frequently Asked Questions
My fridge is warm but my freezer is fine — is this the part I need?
Yes, this is a classic symptom of a failed fresh food evaporator fan motor. Since many GE refrigerators use separate fans for the fridge and freezer compartments, a fan failure on the fridge side won't affect freezer cooling.
My fan is making a buzzing or grinding noise but still runs — should I wait until it fails completely?
Not recommended. A buzzing or grinding noise is a common sign of a failing motor bearing, and these motors often run noisy for a period before failing outright. Replacing it at the first sign of noise can prevent a sudden loss of cooling.
Is this the freezer fan or the fridge fan?
This is specifically the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment fan motor, not the freezer fan. If your freezer isn't cooling or circulating air properly, you'll need the separate freezer evaporator fan motor part instead.
Does this include the fan blade?
This listing is for the fan motor. In most cases the original fan blade transfers over to the new motor during installation — check your specific motor and blade assembly when you remove the old unit.

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

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

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