WR60X26866 Genuine OEM GE Refrigerator Axial Evaporator Fan Motor
The WR60X26866 is a Genuine OEM GE replacement axial evaporator fan motor manufactured by GE to factory specifications, designed as a direct fit for the fresh food section of select GE French door refrigerators, including the CFE28, CFE29, CWE23, CYE22, CYE23, DFE28, DFE29, GFD28, GFE26, GFE27, GFE28, GFE29, GFS26, GFS28, GNE26, GNE29, GYE22, GYS22, PFD28, PFE28, PFE29, PWE23, PYD22, PYE22, PYE23, and ZWE23 series. The evaporator fan motor pulls air through the evaporator coils to remove heat from the circulating air inside the refrigerator. Without a functioning evaporator fan, the refrigerator compartment cannot maintain its target temperature even when the compressor and condenser are running normally — the cold air generated at the evaporator simply isn't being circulated to the food storage areas.
The WR60X26866 is a DC motor rated at 13.6V DC, 0.16A, with a fan housing measuring 3-4/7"L x 2"W x 3-1/8"H, plus a multi-color wire harness and plug approximately 11-1/2" long. It includes the axial fan blade and harness as a complete assembly. It directly replaces WR60X26033, WR60X26030, WR60X24303, WR60X10341, WR60X10356, WR60X10357, WR02X13733, 239D1412P006, V80E14MS2A3-57A611, 8817V-W1, 4546026, AP5985039, AP6278228, EAP12172983, PD00038765, PS11721915, and PS12172983. Important: if your refrigerator was built between May 2014 and March 2015 with serial range FF–HD, the unit's software must be updated before installing this fan motor — see FAQ below. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools.

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

XPG497 Microwave Door Switch (Normally Open)
The XPG497 is an aftermarket normally open (NO) microwave door interlock switch, also designated EXP497, that restores proper start behavior so the microwave runs only when the door is fully closed. It is a replacement for many LG, GE, Whirlpool, Frigidaire, Kenmore, Samsung, Panasonic and Sharp door switches, including Frigidaire 5304509460. When the switch fails, the microwave may not start, may lose power intermittently, or may show an error.
Rated 16A at 125/250VAC with 0.187" (4.8 mm) terminals and an overall size of 27.8 x 10.3 x 15.9 mm. Microwaves use several door switches, and each does a different job. This is the normally open type; it will not replace normally closed or common-type switches.
⚠️ Critical Safety Part — Switch Type And Position Must Match Exactly Door interlock switches work together as a safety system. Installing the wrong type (normally open vs. normally closed) or putting a switch in the wrong position can let the microwave run with the door open, a serious radiation hazard. Replace each switch with the exact same type in the exact same position, and have the interlock system tested after replacement. If you are not qualified to service microwave ovens, use a trained technician.
Quick Answer
The XPG497 Microwave Door Switch (Normally Open) replaces a failed normally open door interlock switch on a compatible microwave. 16A, 125/250VAC. Cross-references many OEM numbers, including Frigidaire 5304509460. Classic symptom: the microwave won't start. Confirm your original switch is normally open before ordering.
Common Problems This Part Fixes

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Microwave And Beware Of The High Voltage Capacitor Unplug the microwave before starting and never operate it with the cabinet open. The high voltage capacitor can hold a lethal charge even after the microwave is unplugged. If your repair requires removing the outer cabinet, discharge the capacitor safely first, or have a qualified technician do the work.
⚠️ Photograph Switch Positions Before Removing Anything Several door switches are often mounted close together. Before disconnecting anything, photograph each switch's position and wiring so the new normally open switch goes back exactly where the old one came from. Some switch tabs and mounts are fragile, so remove the old switch carefully. After installing, have the door interlock system tested before using the microwave.
Frequently Asked Questions
My microwave won't start. Is this the part I need?
A failed door switch is a common cause, but a microwave has several switches and other parts can cause the same symptom. Identify which switch failed and confirm it is normally open before ordering.
Is this switch normally open or normally closed?
This is a normally open (NO) switch. It is not interchangeable with normally closed switches, which do a different job in the interlock system.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement from XPARTCO that cross-references many OEM numbers, including Frigidaire part 5304509460. If you specifically need a genuine Frigidaire part, contact our support team.

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. Brushless DC (BLDC) motor, 12V DC, 2.5W, 0.12A, ~1,870 RPM. Replaces DA31-00287B, DA31-00334A, DA31-00305A, DA96-00968A, AP6803162, 3954921, AP5948644, PS9494284, EAP9494284, PS12590897, EAP12590897. Verify your model number before ordering — Samsung uses several different evaporator fan motors, and this is not the same part as our DA81-06013A listing.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Let The Freezer Thaw If Iced Over Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning, and remove 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, 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.

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. It directly replaces WR60X26033, WR60X26030, WR60X24303, WR60X10341, WR60X10356, WR60X10357, WR02X13733, 239D1412P006, V80E14MS2A3-57A611, 8817V-W1, 4546026, AP5985039, AP6278228, EAP12172983, PD00038765, PS11721915, and PS12172983. Important: if your refrigerator was built between May 2014 and March 2015 with serial range FF–HD, the unit's software must be updated before installing this fan motor — see FAQ below. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator and Move Perishable Food Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Unplug the refrigerator and safely store any food that could spoil while the power is off. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. The evaporator fan motor for the fresh food section is mounted on the back wall of the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment, behind an access panel. Take a photo of the existing fan position and wire harness routing before disconnecting. Remove the shelves and any internal components blocking access to the back wall, then remove the screws holding the rear access panel in place. Disconnect the fan motor's wire harness connector and remove the mounting screws securing the old motor. Note the fan blade orientation on the motor shaft. Install the new WR60X26866 motor assembly in the same position with the blade facing the same direction, reconnect the wiring harness, and reinstall the mounting screws and access panel. Replace the shelves and other internal components, restore power, and confirm the fan spins and the refrigerator cools properly. Allow several hours for the refrigerator to return to its set temperature before reloading with food. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My fridge is warm but my freezer is cold — is the evaporator fan motor the problem?
Yes — this is one of the most recognizable symptoms of evaporator fan motor failure on GE French door refrigerators with a separate fresh food evaporator. The freezer side has its own cooling circuit and remains cold, while the fresh food side relies on this fan to circulate air across its evaporator coils. When the fan fails, the freezer continues working but the fresh food compartment loses its cold air supply, warming up while the freezer stays at temperature. If you also notice frost building up on the evaporator coils behind the back panel of the fresh food compartment, the fan failure is confirmed.
What is the software update requirement for May 2014 – March 2015 refrigerators?
GE issued a software update for certain refrigerators manufactured between May 2014 and March 2015 (serial range FF–HD) before they could properly support newer revisions of the WR60X26866 evaporator fan motor. If your refrigerator falls in this date and serial range, the control software must be updated before installing this fan motor — either by GE factory service or by using the Software Update Module part WR98R882802. Installing the new fan on an unupdated unit can result in improper performance. Check the serial number plate inside your refrigerator (typically on the left side wall) to confirm whether your unit is affected. Refrigerators built outside this range do not require the update.
How do I test if the evaporator fan motor has failed?
Unplug the refrigerator, then access the fan behind the rear panel of the fresh food compartment. First, try turning the fan blade by hand — if it doesn't spin freely, is stiff, or seizes, the motor bearing has failed. Next, listen during normal operation — if the motor is unusually noisy or makes a grinding sound, the bearings are worn even if it still spins. Finally, with the unit unplugged and the motor disconnected, use a multimeter on the motor windings to check for continuity. If the windings show no continuity, the motor has failed electrically. Also check for approximately 11–14V DC at the connector when the refrigerator is running — if voltage is present but the motor doesn't spin, the motor has failed.
My fridge has two evaporator fans — which one does this replace?
Some GE French door refrigerators have separate evaporator fan motors for the freezer and the fresh food sections. The WR60X26866 is the fresh food evaporator fan motor — it's the axial fan located behind the rear panel of the fresh food compartment, not in the freezer. If your symptom is "freezer cold, fridge warm," this is the correct part. If your symptom is "freezer warm" or "ice maker not making ice but fridge is fine," the freezer evaporator fan motor (a different part number) is more likely the cause. Confirm which compartment has the cooling problem before ordering.
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 Washer and Shut Off Water Before Starting — Wear Gloves Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before beginning. Wear work gloves — there are sharp edges inside the washer cabinet. For front-load models: remove the lower front access panel to expose the pump housing and filter. Drain residual water via the filter drain hose (have a shallow pan ready). Disconnect the wire harness from the motor. On most Samsung front-load models, the motor assembly twists out of the pump housing by rotating counter-clockwise — do not force it. Remove the old motor, note the O-ring position, and install the new O-ring from this kit onto the new DC31-00187A motor. Insert the new motor into the housing and twist clockwise to lock. Reconnect the wire harness. Reinstall the lower panel, restore power and water, and run a drain/spin cycle to confirm drainage. For top-load models: access through the lower front panel or by tilting the washer on its side depending on model. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers, shallow pan, towels, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between DC31-00187A and DC97-20621C?
The DC31-00187A is the drain pump motor — the electrical component that drives the impeller. The DC97-20621C is the complete drain pump assembly, which includes the motor plus the outer pump housing, hose connection ports, and mounting hardware. When you order the DC31-00187A, you replace only the motor and reuse the existing DC97-20621C pump housing. When you order the DC97-20621C, you replace the entire assembly including the housing. Both resolve the same drain fault — the DC31-00187A is the more targeted repair when the housing is in good condition.
What error codes indicate a drain pump motor failure?
Error codes 5C, SE, SC, 5E, and SUDS on compatible Samsung washers all indicate a drain fault — the washer was unable to drain within the expected time. Before replacing the motor, clean the drain filter/coin trap at the lower front panel. A clogged filter is one of the most common causes of these error codes and does not require motor replacement. If the filter is clear and the codes persist, or if the pump is making loud noise or is completely silent during the drain phase, the motor needs replacement.
What is the difference between DC31-00187A and DC31-00178A?
These are cross-references for the same or very similar Samsung drain pump motor used across different Samsung washer generations. The DC31-00178A was used on earlier Samsung models and the DC31-00187A is the current version. Both are commonly listed as interchangeable replacements for each other in Samsung washer drain pump repair. The DC31-00187D and DC31-00178D are also variants of the same motor from different production runs.
Should I clean the filter before replacing the pump motor?
Yes — always check and clean the drain filter first. On Samsung front-load washers, the filter is accessible behind the lower front kick panel, typically on the right side — remove the cap slowly and drain water into a shallow pan first. Lint, coins, debris, and hair are very common causes of Samsung drain error codes that are completely resolved by cleaning the filter without any parts replacement. If the filter is clear and the error codes persist, the pump motor is the next component to replace.
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 performance of the original DC31-00187A drain pump motor.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Microwave Before Starting Unplug the microwave before beginning. Open the microwave door and locate the waveguide cover on the interior right wall of the cavity — it is a flat rectangular plate, typically tan or off-white in color. If the old cover is burned, it may be stuck to the wall or disintegrating — carefully remove any remaining pieces and wipe the mounting area clean. Slide or clip the new W10915651 cover into the mounting slot on the right wall of the cavity — it should seat flat against the wall with no gaps. Ensure the cover is fully seated before use. Do not operate the microwave with a missing, cracked, or burned waveguide cover — even a small burn hole can cause arcing and progressive damage. Restore power and run a brief test cycle to confirm normal operation. Tools needed: None. A damp cloth may be needed to clean the mounting area.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the waveguide cover do and why does it need to be replaced?
The waveguide cover is a thin mica plate that covers the opening of the waveguide — the channel through which microwave energy travels from the magnetron into the cooking cavity. Its job is to prevent food particles, grease, and steam from entering and contaminating the waveguide. When food splatter builds up on the cover and burns, the cover develops scorch marks or burn-through holes. These damaged spots absorb microwave energy and cause arcing — sparks and electrical discharges that can quickly damage the magnetron, which is the most expensive component in the microwave. Replacing the waveguide cover promptly when it shows damage is the least expensive and most important preventive maintenance you can do for a microwave.
Can I use the microwave without the waveguide cover?
No — never operate a microwave with a missing, cracked, or burned waveguide cover. Without the cover, food particles and moisture can enter the waveguide directly, causing immediate arcing and sparking. Even a small hole in the cover can cause arcing. Operating the microwave in this condition risks damaging the magnetron (a $100–$200 or more repair), burning the waveguide channel, or creating a fire hazard. The waveguide cover is inexpensive and installs in minutes — always replace it before using the microwave again.
My microwave is sparking — will replacing the waveguide cover fix it?
Sparking is almost always caused by a burned or damaged waveguide cover, and replacing the cover resolves the sparking in the vast majority of cases. However, if the waveguide itself (the metal channel behind the cover) has been damaged from prolonged arcing, or if metal debris from a burned cover has entered the waveguide, additional cleaning or component repair may be needed. Inspect the area behind the old cover after removing it — if the wall or channel shows deep burn damage, contact our support team or a technician before operating the microwave again.
How do I prevent the waveguide cover from burning again?
The most effective prevention is to keep the interior of the microwave clean — specifically the waveguide cover itself and the walls near it. Wipe down the cover and interior walls with a damp cloth after each use, especially after heating anything that splashes or spatters. Use a microwave-safe cover or lid over food when heating. Never operate the microwave when empty, as this directs all microwave energy at the waveguide cover without any food to absorb it. With regular cleaning, a mica waveguide cover can last for years without needing 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 from heat-resistant mica to match the dimensions and fit of the original W10915651 waveguide cover.

WR60X10318 Genuine OEM GE Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
The WR60X10318 is a genuine GE OEM evaporator fan motor assembly used in side-by-side refrigerators, complete with an integrated 2-wire thermistor built right into its 6-pin wiring harness. This motor draws air across the evaporator coil and circulates it through both the fresh food and freezer compartments, while the built-in thermistor reports temperature back to the control board so it can regulate cooling accurately. Because the thermistor and fan motor arrive as a single assembly, a fault in either function shows up together, and replacing this one part addresses both.
The harness and plug measure approximately 13-7/8" in length. Common failure causes include worn motor bearings that eventually seize the shaft entirely, debris or ice buildup around the fan blade, and general electrical wear over time. On this side-by-side platform, a classic failure sequence is a bearing that starts out noisy, then progressively worsens until the motor freezes up completely — once the fan stops moving air, the evaporator coil often ices over heavily since moisture keeps accumulating with nowhere for the resulting cold air to go. Symptoms include unusual noise from the freezer, inconsistent or warm temperatures in either compartment, visible frost buildup on the coil, and a refrigerator that runs continuously trying to compensate. It directly replaces AP4981643, PS3487992, EAP3487992, and 1812462.
Quick Answer
The WR60X10318 Genuine OEM GE Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor fixes GE side-by-side refrigerators with unusual noise from the freezer, warm or inconsistent temperatures, frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coil, or a refrigerator running constantly. Complete assembly with integrated 2-wire thermistor on a 6-pin, 13-7/8" harness. Replaces AP4981643, PS3487992, EAP3487992, 1812462. Not the same part as our WR60X10307 or WR60X10185 listings — those are separate motors for different GE refrigerator platforms.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Unusual noise — grinding, buzzing, or humming — coming from the freezer compartment

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Side-by-Side Units May Have Tight Clearance Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning, and move perishable food to a cooler for the duration of the repair. Wear work gloves. On side-by-side models, access can be tight: you may need to remove the rear interior panel, the ice maker, and a fan cover to reach the motor, so budget extra time and patience compared to a simpler platform. If the evaporator coil is heavily iced over, let the unit sit unplugged with the door open for several hours, or run a manual defrost, before continuing — ice can make the old motor difficult to remove cleanly and may be masking the actual point of failure. Photograph the 6-pin wiring harness connector and the fan blade's orientation before disconnecting anything. Remove the mounting screws holding the fan assembly in place, unplug the wiring harness connector, and slide the old assembly out of its housing. Slide the new WR60X10318 assembly into the same housing, secure it with the mounting screws, and reconnect the harness connector fully. Confirm the blade spins freely by hand without contacting the housing before reassembling the fan cover, ice maker, and rear panel. Restore power, open the door to test the fan, and monitor both compartments over the next 24 hours to confirm even, consistent cooling has returned. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" and 5/16" nut drivers, work gloves, and a headlamp or flashlight for visibility in tight spaces.
Frequently Asked Questions
My freezer is heavily iced over and both compartments are warm. Is this the fan motor?
Yes, this is a very common failure sequence on this platform. Once the evaporator fan motor's bearings wear out and the motor slows or seizes, air stops circulating away from the coil, moisture keeps condensing on it, and ice builds up heavily. Once that happens, both the freezer and fresh food compartments typically lose cooling together, since neither is getting circulated cold air anymore. Thawing the ice and confirming the fan motor doesn't spin freely by hand will confirm this diagnosis.
Does this include the thermistor, or do I need to buy that separately?
It's included. This assembly ships with a 2-wire thermistor built directly into the 6-pin wiring harness, so you don't need to source or install a separate thermistor component — replacing this one part addresses both the fan motor and the thermistor together.
Why is access so tight on my side-by-side refrigerator?
Side-by-side refrigerators tend to pack components more tightly than French door or top-freezer models, and this evaporator fan often sits behind the ice maker and a dedicated fan cover in addition to the rear interior panel. Removing all of these takes more time than a simpler platform, but the fan motor itself installs the same straightforward way once you have access — a headlamp or flashlight helps considerably in the tighter space.
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 includes the same motor design, fan blade, integrated thermistor, and 6-pin harness configuration as the evaporator fan motor assembly originally installed in your side-by-side refrigerator.
