Choice 240597203 Refrigerator Temperature Sensor Replaces 240597220
The Choice 240597203 is an aftermarket replacement refrigerator temperature sensor compatible with a wide range of Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore (253/106/795 prefix), Crosley, White-Westinghouse, Kelvinator, Gibson, Tappan, Viking, and Ikea refrigerators and household freezers. This NTC (negative temperature coefficient) thermistor continuously monitors the temperature inside the refrigerator or freezer compartment and sends resistance-based readings to the main control board, which uses this data to cycle the compressor, fans, and defrost heaters to maintain accurate temperatures. As the thermistor heats up or cools down, its electrical resistance changes predictably, allowing the control board to calculate the exact temperature in real time.
When this sensor fails or drifts out of range, the refrigerator may run too cold or too warm, cycle excessively, freeze up the evaporator, fail to maintain set temperatures, or display OP error codes. Rated 10K Ohm NTC, with a 5/16" diameter probe, 12" wire, and overall dimensions of 3-5/8"L x 5/8"W x 5/16"H (sensor probe itself measures ~1-3/16"L x 5/16" diameter). Compatible with 20-28 cubic foot North American household refrigerators in French door, side-by-side, top-freezer, and bottom-freezer configurations (post-2005 production). It directly replaces 240597203, 240597220, 240597201, 240597202, 7240597203, AP4032998, AH1765215, EA1765215, EAP1765215, EAP17647917, 1258948, 4985585, OEM21729470, PD00000590, PD00088922, PS1765215, and PS17647917. Not compatible with mini fridges, car refrigerators, commercial units, wine coolers, or ice makers. Installs in 15–20 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator and Move Perishable Food Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Unplug the refrigerator and safely store any food that could spoil while the power is off. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Depending on your refrigerator model, the fresh-food temperature sensor is typically located behind the air tower or damper assembly on the rear interior wall of the refrigerator compartment; the freezer temperature sensor is typically located behind the rear freezer access panel near the evaporator coils. Confirm which sensor location matches your symptom and the parts diagram for your specific model before starting. Remove all shelves, drawers, and any items blocking access to the sensor location. Remove the screws holding the air tower/damper cover (fresh food side) or rear freezer access panel to expose the sensor. Photograph the sensor position, wire routing, and connector before removing. Disconnect the wire connector (gently — the connector can be fragile) and release the sensor from its mounting clip. Fully insert the new 240597203 sensor probe into the card slot (no exposure) and secure with the mounting clip. Reconnect the wire connector — plug wiring terminals tightly to avoid poor contact. Use cable ties to secure any loose wire routing as before. Reinstall the cover or panel, replace the shelves and drawers, and plug the refrigerator back in. Allow several hours for the refrigerator to return to its set temperature before reloading with food. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, cable ties, multimeter (for testing), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does OP error code mean on my Frigidaire refrigerator?
The OP error code (Open) indicates the control board is detecting an open circuit on a temperature sensor input — meaning the sensor is failing to send a resistance signal, either because the sensor itself has failed open internally, the wire has broken, or the connector isn't seated. Replacing the temperature sensor typically resolves the code when the sensor itself is the cause. If the code persists after replacement, check the wire harness between the sensor and the control board for damage, and confirm the connector is fully seated. If the OP code appears alongside other symptoms like frost buildup and cooling issues that persist after sensor replacement, the defrost temperature sensor (on the Harness-Low Side, a different part number) may also need to be replaced, or the main control board may be at fault.
How do I test if the temperature sensor has failed?
Unplug the refrigerator, disconnect the sensor's wire connector, and set your multimeter to resistance mode. At room temperature (approximately 25°C / 77°F), a working NTC thermistor should read approximately 10K Ohms. If the sensor reads 0 ohms, it has shorted internally. If it reads infinite resistance (open circuit, often shown as "OL" on the multimeter), the sensor has failed open. If it reads significantly off from 10K (for example 8.4K or 5K at room temp), the sensor has drifted and is no longer providing accurate readings — replacement is recommended. Any of these results confirms the sensor needs replacement.
My refrigerator has multiple temperature sensors — which one do I replace?
Frigidaire refrigerators typically use multiple temperature sensors: one in the fresh food compartment (behind the air tower/damper), one in the freezer compartment (near the evaporator coils), and often a separate defrost temperature sensor on the Harness-Low Side. The 240597203 is used as the fresh food or freezer compartment temperature sensor. If your symptom is "fresh food too warm" or "freezer over-freezing," the fresh food sensor is the likely candidate. If your symptom is "freezer icing up despite defrost heater working," the defrost temperature sensor may be the culprit — a different part number. Check your refrigerator's parts diagram to confirm the correct sensor location for your specific symptom.
Does this sensor fit my Kenmore refrigerator?
On many Kenmore refrigerators, yes — Sears sells Kenmore-branded refrigerators that are manufactured by Frigidaire/Electrolux, Whirlpool, LG, and Samsung. The 240597203 sensor fits Kenmore refrigerators with model numbers beginning with the 253, 106, or 795 prefixes that are Frigidaire/Electrolux-built. Kenmore refrigerators built by other manufacturers (Whirlpool, LG, Samsung) use different sensors. Check the first three digits of your Kenmore model number — if it's 253, 106, or 795 and falls within the compatible model list, this is the correct part.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Frigidaire/Electrolux OEM part, but is manufactured to match the electrical specifications (10K Ohm NTC), probe dimensions (5/16" diameter x 1-3/16" length), wire length (12"), and connector configuration of the original 240597203 temperature sensor used in compatible refrigerators.

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 HS810 Refrigerator 3-in-1 Hard Start Kit 1/12 to 1/5 HP 120V
The XPARTCO XPHS810 is a universal 3-in-1 hard start kit that combines a solid-state starting relay, a start capacitor, and thermal overload protection into a single prewired unit for refrigerator and freezer compressors rated 1/12 to 1/5 HP at 120V (110–125VAC). It's designed as a direct equivalent to the widely used Supco RCO810 and similar kits, giving a struggling compressor extra starting torque to overcome internal friction and gas pressure at startup — commonly used to fix the classic "click-buzz-click" no-start symptom without replacing the entire compressor.
The kit is fully prewired with color-coded leads (typically black = Common, white = Start, red = Run) and mounts directly onto the compressor's terminal pins, with instructions printed on the unit itself. It directly replaces Supco RCO810, URCO810, URC0810, RC0810, RC100, TJ90RCO810, AP4503019, ERP810, ERPU810, HS8, HS810, HS81, PCS810, and Mars 32781. Installs in 15–30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO HS810 3-in-1 Hard Start Kit fixes refrigerators and freezers whose compressor makes a repeated "click-buzz-click" sound and fails to start, or that shut off on thermal overload during startup. Combines relay, start capacitor, and overload protector in one prewired unit for 1/12 to 1/5 HP compressors, 120V, 3.5A RLA. Replaces Supco RCO810, URCO810, RC0810, RC100, TJ90RCO810, AP4503019, ERP810, HS8, HS810, HS81, PCS810, Mars 32781. Do not install on LG linear/inverter compressors — see Installation Notes.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Compressor makes a repeated "click-buzz-click" noise and fails to start
Refrigerator or freezer runs warm because the compressor won't stay running
Compressor hums but doesn't start, then trips off on overload
Refrigerator cycles on and off rapidly without reaching temperature
Older or worn compressor that starts hard, especially after a power outage
⚠ Capacitor Hazard — Read Before Servicing This kit contains a start capacitor, which can store a dangerous electrical charge even after the refrigerator is unplugged. Always disconnect power before servicing, and discharge the capacitor safely (using an insulated-handle resistor tool or by briefly shorting the terminals with an insulated screwdriver) before handling it. Never touch capacitor terminals with bare hands. If you are not comfortable working around stored electrical charge, have this repair performed by a qualified technician.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Discharge Capacitor Safely Disconnect power before beginning. Before touching any wiring, check your compressor's data label to confirm it is NOT a linear/inverter/BLDC compressor — this kit is not compatible with those and can damage the inverter board if connected. Access the compressor compartment, typically at the rear or bottom of the unit. Remove the existing relay/overload assembly by gently pulling it straight off the compressor terminal pins — do not force or twist. Use a multimeter to confirm which pins are Common (C), Start (S), and Run (R) if not already labeled. Connect the hard start kit's wires to the matching pins. Wire the kit's main power leads into the refrigerator's supply wiring using wire nuts, following the included diagram. Secure the kit with zip ties or its mounting strap to prevent vibration damage during compressor operation. Restore power and confirm the compressor starts smoothly without repeated clicking. Tools needed: nut driver or screwdriver, digital multimeter, wire nuts, insulated screwdriver (for capacitor discharge).
Frequently Asked Questions
My compressor makes a clicking or buzzing sound and won't start — will this fix it?
A hard start kit resolves this in many cases, especially on older or worn compressors that struggle to overcome internal gas pressure at startup. However, "click-buzz-click" can also indicate a failing compressor winding or a compressor nearing end of life. If the hard start kit doesn't resolve the issue, the compressor itself may need replacement — a hard start kit can extend a marginal compressor's life but can't revive one with failed internal windings.
Can I use this on any refrigerator?
This kit works on standard PSC and RSIR compressors within the 1/12 to 1/5 HP range at 120V. It is NOT compatible with LG linear/inverter compressors or any variable-speed inverter-driven compressor — connecting it to one of those can destroy the inverter control board. Check your compressor's label for "Inverter," "Linear," "BLDC," or "Digital" before ordering.
Do I need to remove my existing start capacitor or relay first?
Yes — remove the old relay/overload assembly from the compressor terminal pins before installing this kit. The XPHS810 is designed to work with or without an existing separate run capacitor remaining in the circuit, but the old start relay and any old start capacitor should be removed and replaced by this kit, not left in place alongside it.
Is this safe to install myself?
Many DIYers install hard start kits successfully, but this repair involves a capacitor that can hold a dangerous electrical charge even after the unit is unplugged, plus correctly identifying compressor terminals. If you're not comfortable working around stored electrical charge or don't have a multimeter to confirm terminal identification, we'd recommend having a qualified technician perform this repair.

Genuine OEM WP3387134 Dryer Cycling Thermostat
The Genuine OEM Whirlpool WP3387134 is a dryer cycling thermostat, the operating thermostat that controls drying temperature. It switches the heating element off when the dryer reaches its set temperature and back on after it cools, keeping the inside of the dryer at a steady temperature throughout the cycle. This one is rated L155-25: it cuts out at approximately 155°F and cycles back on once the temperature drops about 25°F.
When a cycling thermostat fails, the dryer may stop heating, run too hot, or keep heating after the drum has stopped. This is the original Whirlpool part, and it fits a wide range of Whirlpool-built dryers sold under the Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Roper, Crosley, Estate, Amana, and other brand names.
Quick Answer
The Genuine OEM WP3387134 Cycling Thermostat fixes a Whirlpool-built dryer that isn't heating, runs too hot, or has inconsistent drying temperatures. Rated L155-25, it cycles the heating element off at about 155°F and back on after a 25°F drop. Classic symptom: clothes come out damp or the dryer runs excessively hot, with no sign of a clogged vent.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the dryer or switch off its circuit breaker before beginning, and shut off the gas supply first on gas models. Wear work gloves, as the cabinet edges are sharp. Remove the panel that gives access to the heater housing per your model's service guide, note the wire terminal positions, and disconnect them from the old thermostat. Remove the thermostat, install the new one in the same position, and reconnect the wires. A screwdriver and needle-nose pliers are typically all you need. Before closing the dryer, clean the lint trap and check the exhaust vent for restrictions, since poor airflow is a common cause of overheating.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer isn't heating or runs too hot. Is this the part I need?
A failed cycling thermostat can cause either symptom. It may stay open and prevent heat, or stay closed and let the dryer overheat. Check for a clogged vent and test the thermostat for continuity before replacing it.
What's the difference between the cycling thermostat and the high limit thermostat?
The cycling thermostat controls normal drying temperature by switching the heating element on and off. The high limit thermostat and thermal fuse are separate safety devices that cut power if the dryer overheats. This listing is for the cycling thermostat only.
How do I test this thermostat?
With the dryer unplugged and the wires removed, check for continuity across the terminals with a multimeter at room temperature. A properly working cycling thermostat should show continuity when cool. No continuity means it has failed.
Will this fit my dryer?
It fits many Whirlpool-built dryers, but the model list above is only a sample. Check your model number against your parts diagram, or contact our support team and we'll verify it before you order.

XPARTCO 279769 Dryer Thermostat Kit
The XPARTCO 279769 is an aftermarket replacement thermal cut-off and high-limit thermostat kit for Whirlpool, Kenmore, Roper, KitchenAid, Maytag, Amana, Estate, Crosley, and Admiral electric dryers. This kit bundles two components that guard against overheating at different thresholds: the 3390291 high-limit thermostat (rated L250-80F) monitors internal temperature and interrupts power at approximately 250°F to prevent overheating, then resets itself automatically once the dryer cools — no replacement needed after each trip. The 3977394 thermal cut-off fuse is the backup: rated at 352°F, it's a one-time safety device that permanently opens the circuit if temperatures climb high enough that the thermostat alone didn't prevent an overheat.
These two parts are sold together and should be replaced together as a set, since they protect the same circuit and tend to be stressed by the same underlying problem. Whirlpool's own guidance is direct: when the thermal cut-off fails, it usually indicates a venting problem, and failing to correct that airflow issue will cause repetitive failures even with new parts installed. Symptoms include the dryer not heating, clothes coming out extremely hot, or the dryer not running at all. This kit is commonly used alongside heating element 4391960. It directly replaces 279769, 279548, 2796769, 279769VP, 2821, 2004, 3387812, 3389946, 3398671, 3977394, 695563, 80001, SET184, SET198, TJSET198, ET184, AP3094224, AH334278, EA334278, EAP334278, PD00002485, PS334278, WP3390291, AP6008306, 3390291, 696397, and PS11741441. As an aftermarket replacement, the 279769 kit is built to OEM-equivalent quality standards.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 279769 Dryer Thermostat Kit fixes Whirlpool, Kenmore, Roper, KitchenAid, Maytag, Amana, Estate, Crosley, and Admiral electric dryers with no heat, no power at all, or clothes coming out dangerously hot. Includes the 3390291 high-limit thermostat (250°F, auto-resetting) and the 3977394 thermal cut-off fuse (352°F, one-time). Replaces 279548, 2796769, 279769VP, 3387812, 3389946, 3398671, 3977394, 695563, 80001, AP3094224, PS334278, WP3390291, AP6008306, 3390291, 696397, PS11741441. Always inspect and clean the exhaust venting when replacing this kit — a blown thermal fuse is a symptom of restricted airflow, and skipping the vent check leads to repeat failures.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Inspect And Clean The Venting Before Reassembling Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the rear panel, near the heating element and blower housing where both components are mounted. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything, since the thermostat and fuse can be easy to swap positions by mistake. Remove each old component from its mounting position, noting orientation, and disconnect its wiring. Before reassembling, fully inspect and clean the dryer's exhaust vent, from the lint trap housing all the way to the exterior vent hood, checking for lint buildup, crushed sections, or excessive length. When the thermal cut-off fails, it usually indicates a venting problem, and failing to correct that airflow issue will cause repetitive failures even with these new parts installed. Install the new 3390291 thermostat and 3977394 thermal fuse from this kit in the same positions as the parts they replace, reconnecting wiring exactly as photographed. Reassemble the panel, restore power, and run a full test cycle to confirm normal, consistent heating with no premature shutoffs. Tools needed: Phillips or nut driver (model-dependent), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My clothes are coming out extremely hot, hot enough to burn my hands. Is this the right kit?
Yes, this is a documented symptom this kit addresses. If the high-limit thermostat fails to regulate temperature correctly, the dryer can run far hotter than it should, producing dangerously hot clothing at the end of a cycle. Whirlpool's own parts support has specifically pointed customers with this exact complaint toward this kit. Stop using the dryer if you notice this symptom and replace both components promptly.
Why do I need to replace both the thermostat and the fuse together?
These two parts protect the same circuit at different thresholds and tend to fail from the same underlying cause. If the high-limit thermostat isn't regulating temperature correctly, the thermal fuse often ends up blowing as the backup safety measure. Replacing only one risks the other failing again shortly after, so they're sold and serviced together as a set.
I replaced this kit and the dryer failed again. What should I check?
This is a strong sign the underlying cause — almost always restricted airflow — was never addressed. Thoroughly inspect and clean the entire exhaust path from the lint trap housing to the outside vent hood, checking for lint buildup, crushed or kinked ductwork, or a vent run that's too long. Failing to correct a venting issue will cause repetitive failures of this kit even when it's brand new.
Should I replace the heating element at the same time?
It's worth considering if your dryer's heating element (commonly 4391960 on compatible models) is original and has been running alongside a failing thermostat, since sustained overheating can stress the element as well. It's not required, but since you'll already have the panel open for this repair, it's a reasonable time to inspect the element for visible damage.
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 temperature thresholds and mounting configuration of the original 279769 high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off fuse kit used in compatible Whirlpool, Kenmore, Roper, KitchenAid, Maytag, Amana, Estate, Crosley, and Admiral electric dryers.

XPARTCO DC47-00018A Dryer Hi Limit Thermostat
The XPARTCO DC47-00018A is an aftermarket replacement cycling high-limit thermostat for Samsung and select Kenmore electric dryers. This is a genuine, automatically resetting thermostat — not a one-time fuse. It monitors temperature in the heating circuit and opens to cut power to the heating element at approximately 260°F, protecting the dryer from overheating. Once the temperature drops to around 210°F, it closes again on its own, letting the dryer resume heating without any part replacement needed.
This thermostat works alongside a downstream thermal fuse (such as our DC96-00887C listing) in the same overheat-protection circuit. If this thermostat is cycling excessively, tripping prematurely, or failing to regulate temperature correctly, it can put stress on that thermal fuse, sometimes causing it to blow as a last-resort safety measure. Symptoms of a failing high-limit thermostat include no heat or insufficient heat, drying that takes too long, or the dryer shutting off too soon before a load is fully dry. It directly replaces 35001092, WP35001092, 1122485, AP4201898, PS4205217, EAP2430930, PS2430930, and AP6008682.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DC47-00018A Dryer Hi Limit Thermostat fixes Samsung and select Kenmore electric dryers with no heat or insufficient heat, drying that takes too long, or premature shutoff before a load is fully dry. Opens at approximately 260°F, resets automatically around 210°F. Replaces 35001092, WP35001092, 1122485, AP4201898, PS4205217, EAP2430930, PS2430930, AP6008682. This is a resettable thermostat, not a fuse — it does not need replacement after each trip. It's a different component from our DC96-00887C thermal fuse listing, though the two are often checked together.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer has no heat or insufficient heat
Drying takes too long to complete a cycle
Dryer shuts off too soon, before clothes are fully dry
Timer will not advance through the cycle
Dryer that stopped working suddenly after running unusually hot
Dryer with a history of repeated downstream thermal fuse failures

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the rear panel, near the heater duct and blower housing area where this thermostat is mounted. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything, since this thermostat can be positioned close to other similar-looking components in the same circuit. Remove the old thermostat from its mounting position, noting orientation, and disconnect its wiring. Install the new DC47-00018A in the same position, reconnecting wiring exactly as photographed. Reassemble the panel, restore power, and run a full test cycle to confirm normal, consistent heating with no premature shutoffs. Tools needed: Phillips or nut driver (model-dependent), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to reset this thermostat after it trips, or replace it?
Neither, in normal operation — this is a genuine cycling thermostat that resets itself automatically once the dryer cools to around 210°F. You should only need to replace it if it has failed outright (stuck open, stuck closed, or no longer switching at the correct temperatures), not simply because it tripped once during normal operation.
My dryer shuts off before the load is fully dry. Is that this part?
It's a strong possibility. If this high-limit thermostat is tripping prematurely — opening at a lower temperature than it should — the dryer can cut heat and end the cycle early even though the load isn't actually dry yet. This is one of the more common symptoms this thermostat addresses.
My thermal fuse keeps blowing. Could this thermostat be the underlying cause?
Yes, this is worth investigating. This thermostat and the downstream thermal fuse (our DC96-00887C listing) protect the same circuit at different points. If this thermostat isn't regulating temperature correctly — cycling excessively or failing to catch a temperature spike — the thermal fuse can end up blowing repeatedly as the last line of defense. If you've replaced the fuse more than once, checking or replacing this thermostat at the same time is a reasonable next step.
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 and opening/reset temperatures of the original DC47-00018A high-limit thermostat used in compatible Samsung and Kenmore electric dryers.

WR60X31997 Genuine OEM GE Refrigerator Ice Box Fan Motor
The WR60X31997 is a genuine GE OEM ice box fan motor assembly for GE, Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, and Café refrigerators. This motor is situated in the freezer section and circulates cold air specifically around the ice box area, playing a direct role in ice production as well as general cooling and airflow in that part of the freezer. Consistent airflow here is what keeps the ice maker producing normally and prevents warm spots from developing nearby.
Rated 12V DC, 0.23A. Common causes of failure include a malfunctioning motor, worn-out bushings that hinder smooth rotation, or damaged fan blades that restrict airflow; mineral buildup can also gradually degrade the fan's efficiency over time. A failing ice box fan produces a recognizable set of symptoms: reduced or inadequate ice production, items in the freezer warming up or defrosting even with the door shut, unusual sounds or vibration when the fan runs, or uneven frost patterns suggesting the airflow in that area isn't circulating properly. It directly replaces PD00071430, 4964240, AP6978662, PS12744140, and EAP12744140.
Quick Answer

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 the ice box fan by locating the panel or housing covering it in the freezer's ice box area — this may require removing the ice maker or nearby components for clearance depending on your model. Photograph the wiring and the fan blade's orientation before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the motor's wiring harness connector, remove the mounting screws or clips holding the motor bracket in place, and pull the motor and fan blade assembly free. Mount the new WR60X31997 in the same position, reconnect the wiring harness connector, and confirm the blade spins freely by hand without contacting the housing before reassembling any panels or components you removed for access. Restore power and monitor ice production and freezer temperature over the next 24 hours to confirm normal operation has returned. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My ice maker is producing less ice than usual. Could this fan be the cause?
Yes, this is one of the more common symptoms of a failing ice box fan. Since this fan circulates cold air specifically around the ice box area, reduced airflow from a struggling or seized motor can directly slow down ice production, even if the rest of the freezer seems to be cooling normally.
Items near the ice box seem to be warming up even though the freezer door is shut. Is that related?
Yes. If this fan isn't circulating air properly, the area around the ice box can lose consistent cooling even while the rest of the freezer stays cold, since that zone depends specifically on this fan for airflow. This localized warming, paired with reduced ice production, is a strong combined signal pointing to this fan.
Is this the same as a general evaporator fan motor?
No, this is a distinct component. The ice box fan motor circulates air specifically around the ice box area to support ice production and nearby cooling, while a general evaporator fan motor circulates air across the evaporator coil for the freezer and fresh food compartments more broadly. The two serve different roles and are not interchangeable — always confirm which fan your model needs using your parts diagram or model number.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original motor design, blade fitment, and mounting configuration of the ice box fan motor originally installed in your refrigerator.
