W11236851 Refrigerator Genuine OEM Air Damper Diffuser
The W11236851 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM air damper diffuser assembly for Whirlpool refrigerators, and also fits select Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Kenmore, and Ikea models. Located inside the refrigerator behind the evaporator cover, this damper controls the flow of cold air from the freezer into the refrigerator compartment, opening and closing as needed to maintain the set temperatures in each section.
Causes of a bad damper include wear and tear of the movable parts over time, failure of the actuator motor that powers it, or damage from something accidentally blocking the damper mechanism. Symptoms of a failing damper include the refrigerator section running too cold or too warm, the freezer section running too cool or too warm, difficulty maintaining set temperatures, excessive condensation inside the appliance, or ice accumulation.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Check For Blockages First Unplug the refrigerator and safely store any food that could spoil while the power is off. Wear work gloves. Before disassembling anything, check whether food items or packaging have been accidentally pushed against the damper mechanism, since this can cause the same temperature symptoms as a genuinely failed part. Locate the evaporator cover, typically in the freezer or at the back of the fresh food compartment depending on your model, and remove it to access the damper assembly. Photograph the wiring connection to the actuator motor before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the wiring harness from the old damper assembly, remove any mounting clips or fasteners, and pull it free. Install the new W11236851 in the same position, reconnect the wiring harness fully, and secure any mounting hardware. Reinstall the evaporator cover. Restore power and monitor both the refrigerator and freezer temperatures over the next 24 hours to confirm consistent, accurate cooling in both compartments. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver (model-dependent), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My refrigerator section is too warm but the freezer is fine. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is a common symptom of a failing air damper. Since this damper controls how much cold air moves from the freezer into the refrigerator compartment, a stuck or broken damper can leave the refrigerator section too warm even while the freezer maintains a normal temperature.
My freezer or fridge is too cold instead of too warm. Could this still be the damper?
Yes. A damper stuck in the open position can let too much cold air flow into the refrigerator compartment, making it colder than intended, while a damper stuck closed can have the opposite effect. Both too-cold and too-warm symptoms in either compartment can point to this same part.
What should I check before assuming the damper itself is broken?
Check that nothing — food packaging, containers, or shifted items — is physically blocking the damper mechanism, since accidental blocking can produce the same temperature symptoms as a genuinely worn or failed damper, without requiring a replacement part at all.
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 damper and actuator design of the air damper diffuser originally installed in your refrigerator.

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.

AJU34125552 Genuine OEM LG Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve
The AJU34125552 is a genuine LG OEM water inlet valve for LG refrigerators, supplying water to both the ice maker and the door water dispenser from a single valve assembly. Mounted at the rear of the refrigerator where the household water supply line connects, this valve opens on command from the control board to admit water for either feature, and closes again once the request is satisfied.
Common causes of failure include mineral and sediment buildup from hard water interfering with the internal solenoid over time, and general electrical wear. A failing valve typically shows up as the ice maker no longer producing ice, the water dispenser slowing down or stopping entirely, or both symptoms appearing together since one valve serves both functions.
Quick Answer
The AJU34125552 Genuine OEM LG Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve fixes LG refrigerators where the ice maker stopped making ice, the water dispenser isn't working, water flow is slow, or there's a leak near the valve at the back of the refrigerator. Supplies both the ice maker and dispenser from one valve.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Ice maker has stopped making ice, or is producing less ice than usual
Water dispenser on the refrigerator door isn't working or has slowed down
Both the ice maker and water dispenser affected together
Slow water flow at the dispenser
Water leaking near the valve at the back of the refrigerator
No water or ice production at all
Valve failure following known hard water conditions at the home

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Store Perishable Food Separately Shut off the water supply and unplug the refrigerator before beginning, and move perishable food to a cooler for the duration of the repair. Wear work gloves. Pull the refrigerator away from the wall for access, then locate the valve at the rear of the cabinet where the water supply line connects. Photograph the wiring harness and water line connections before disconnecting anything. On some installations, the wiring harness has been routed between water supply lines, which can make the connector difficult to reach and unplug — if this is the case, gently reposition or loosen a water line first rather than forcing the connector. Disconnect the water supply line from the old valve, disconnect the electrical connector, and remove the mounting screws holding the valve in place, then pull it free. Install the new AJU34125552 in the same position, secure the mounting screws, and reconnect the electrical connector fully — route the wiring the same way the original was routed, avoiding pinch points against the water lines if possible. Reattach the water supply line, tightening securely by hand plus a partial turn with pliers. Restore the water supply and check for leaks before restoring power. Push the refrigerator back into place and test both the ice maker and water dispenser over the following day to confirm normal operation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, adjustable wrench or pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My ice maker and dispenser both stopped working at the same time. Is that normal for a valve failure?
Yes, this is actually a very telling symptom. Because one valve assembly supplies water to both the ice maker and the door dispenser, a failure inside the valve itself commonly affects both functions simultaneously. If only one of the two has stopped working while the other functions normally, it's worth double-checking the water filter and supply line for a localized restriction before assuming the valve has failed, but a simultaneous failure of both points strongly toward this valve.
The wiring harness on my old valve was hard to reach. Is that normal?
It can be, depending on how the original installation routed the wiring. Some installations run the harness between two water supply lines, which can make the connector awkward to access and unplug. If you find yourself in this situation, gently repositioning or loosening a nearby water line first — rather than forcing the connector — makes it much easier to disconnect without damaging anything.
Could hard water be why my valve failed?
Yes, this is a common and well-documented cause. Mineral deposits from hard water can build up inside the valve over time and interfere with the internal solenoid's ability to open and close properly, eventually leading to failure. If you know your home has hard water and this valve has failed, it may be worth considering a water softener or more frequent filter changes to extend the life of the replacement.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by LG to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It includes the same solenoid design and dual-function (ice maker and dispenser) configuration as the water inlet valve originally installed in your refrigerator.

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.

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.

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.

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.

WR49X25197 Refrigerator Genuine OEM Axial Evaporator Motor Replaces WR60X26866
The WR49X25197 is a genuine GE OEM axial evaporator fan motor for the fresh food evaporator on select GE French door refrigerators. Unlike a standard evaporator fan motor, this is an axial-design motor purpose-built for the fresh food side of the refrigeration system, using its blade geometry to move air efficiently and quietly through that compartment's evaporator coil for precise, consistent temperature control.
Rated 13.6VDC, 0.16A. Manufactured by Nidec, designation V80E14MS2A3-57A611. Over time, motor bearings wear out or the motor can fail electrically, and symptoms typically include the fresh food compartment running warm while the freezer remains unaffected, unusual noise from the fresh food evaporator area, or inconsistent cooling in that compartment specifically, since this motor doesn't serve the freezer side at all. It directly replaces WR60X26866, WR60X10341, WR60X24303, WR60X26033, WR60X10356, WR60X10357, WR60X26030, 239D1412P001, 239D1412P006, and AP6278228.
Quick Answer

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Check Your Manufacture Date For A Software Update Requirement Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning, and move perishable food to a cooler for the duration of the repair. Wear work gloves. Before starting, check your refrigerator's serial number/manufacture date sticker (typically inside the fresh food compartment) — if your unit was made between May 2014 and March 2015 with a serial range of HD through FF, plan for a control software update via factory service or a Software Update Module (WR98R882802) after installing this motor, since without it the new motor may not perform correctly. Access to the fresh food evaporator is typically through an interior panel in the fresh food compartment, separate from the freezer's evaporator access — check your model's service diagram. If there's frost or ice buildup around the fan or coil, let the unit sit unplugged with the door open for a few hours 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. Mount the new WR49X25197 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 panel. Restore power and monitor the fresh food compartment over the next 24 hours to confirm even, consistent cooling has returned. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My fresh food section runs warm but the freezer is fine. Is this the right part?
Yes, this is exactly the symptom pattern this motor addresses, since it's dedicated specifically to the fresh food evaporator rather than serving both compartments. If your freezer is cooling normally and only the fresh food section is warm or inconsistent, this axial motor is a strong candidate for the cause.
Do I really need a software update after installing this motor?
Only if your refrigerator falls into a specific manufacturing window: units made between May 2014 and March 2015, identifiable by a serial range of HD through FF. For those units, GE's own guidance states the control software must be updated by factory service or with a Software Update Module (WR98R882802) for the new motor to perform correctly. If your refrigerator falls outside that date range, this step isn't necessary — check your serial number sticker to confirm which category your unit falls into.
Is this the same as a regular evaporator fan motor?
Not quite — this is an axial-design motor built specifically for the fresh food evaporator on GE French door refrigerators, distinct from general evaporator fan motors that serve the freezer side or both compartments together. Always confirm your model number and which compartment's fan has failed before ordering.
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 axial motor design, blade fitment, and electrical rating of the fresh food evaporator motor originally installed in your refrigerator.
