5901JA1021A Genuine OEM LG Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Blade
The 5901JA1021A is a genuine LG OEM evaporator fan blade for LG and select Kenmore refrigerators. This is the plastic blade itself — not the motor — that mounts onto the evaporator fan motor's shaft and physically moves air through the evaporator fins and interior compartment as it spins, which is what carries cooled air to the fresh food and freezer sections and helps maintain efficient, even cooling.
Over time, the blade can crack, chip, or warp from ice contact, age, or physical damage, even while the motor underneath it is still working perfectly fine. A damaged fan blade typically shows up as reduced airflow and less effective cooling, a wobbling or unbalanced sound as the fan spins, or visible cracks and missing pieces on the blade itself. Since this is the blade only, it's a straightforward and inexpensive fix when the motor is still good but the blade has failed. It directly replaces 5901JJ1005A, AP4457221, 1268187, AH3528674, EA3528674, and PS3528674.
Quick Answer
The 5901JA1021A Genuine OEM LG Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Blade fixes LG and select Kenmore refrigerators with reduced cooling airflow, a wobbling or unbalanced fan noise, or a cracked/chipped/missing fan blade. Replaces 5901JJ1005A, AP4457221, 1268187, AH3528674, EA3528674, PS3528674. This is the blade only, not the motor — if your fan motor itself has failed (won't spin, no power, electrical fault), you need a motor replacement instead, such as our EAU61524007 listing.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Reduced airflow and less effective cooling despite the fan motor running
Wobbling, unbalanced, or rattling sound as the fan spins
Visible cracks, chips, or missing sections on the fan blade
Fan blade that has broken away from the motor shaft
Inconsistent cooling performance in the refrigerator or freezer

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning, and move perishable food to a cooler for the duration of the repair. Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the freezer's rear interior panel: remove shelving and bins as needed, then remove the screws securing the back panel to expose the evaporator fan. If there's significant frost or ice around the fan or coil, let the unit sit unplugged with the door open for a few hours, or run a manual defrost, before continuing. Photograph the old blade's orientation on the motor shaft before removing it. Gently pull the old fan blade off the motor shaft — it typically presses on and off without tools. Press the new 5901JA1021A blade onto the same motor shaft in the same orientation, seating it fully. Confirm the blade spins freely by hand without wobbling or contacting the housing before reassembling the back panel. Restore power and monitor cooling performance over the next 24 hours to confirm normal, even airflow has returned. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver (for the rear panel), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need just the blade or the whole motor?
Check whether the motor is actually turning. If you can see or hear the motor shaft spinning but the blade is cracked, wobbling, or missing pieces, this blade-only replacement is the correct and less expensive fix. If the motor itself isn't turning at all — no spin, no hum, or an electrical fault — the motor has failed and needs to be replaced instead, which is a different part from this blade.
My fan makes a wobbling or rattling noise. Is that the blade?
It's a strong possibility, especially if the motor itself sounds otherwise normal. A cracked, chipped, or unevenly worn blade can throw off the fan's balance as it spins, producing a rattling or wobbling sound distinct from the grinding noise typically associated with a failing motor bearing.
Do I need any tools to replace this blade?
No, in most cases. The blade presses onto and off of the motor shaft without tools — you'll just need a screwdriver to access the rear panel covering the evaporator fan area, but the blade swap itself is tool-free.
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 matches the original blade design and motor shaft fit of the evaporator fan blade originally installed in your refrigerator.

XPARTCO DA97-15765C Refrigerator Condenser Fan Motor
The XPARTCO DA97-15765C is an aftermarket replacement condenser fan motor assembly for Samsung French door refrigerators. This assembly includes both the motor and the fan blade together, and it lives in the compressor/machine compartment at the back or bottom of the refrigerator, where its job is to pull air across the condenser coils and compressor to carry heat away from the refrigeration system. That's a different job from an evaporator fan — this motor cools the mechanical side of the system rather than circulating cold air to your food, so a failing condenser fan tends to affect the whole refrigerator's cooling capacity rather than just one compartment.
Rated 12V DC, 0.14A, 1.7W, running at approximately 1,120 RPM. On many Samsung models, a failed condenser fan motor triggers a 23C or 23E error code on the display, alongside symptoms like noticeable vibration or noise from the condenser area, elevated internal temperatures, or the over-temperature alarm sensor tripping. Common causes include normal wear on the motor bearings after prolonged use, blockages from dust and debris accumulation around the coils, or damage from moisture exposure. A fan blade that tries to spin but can't complete a full revolution, or that needs a manual nudge to keep turning, is a classic sign this assembly has started to fail. It directly replaces DA97-15765A, DA97-12842A, DA97-12842B, DA97-12842D, DA97-15765D, AP6001015, PS11733650, EAP11733650, DA31-00340A, RMF002ASSA, and 4959328.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DA97-15765C Refrigerator Condenser Fan Motor fixes Samsung French door refrigerators where the whole unit runs warm, the compressor area is noisy or vibrating, a 23C or 23E error code appears, or the over-temperature alarm trips. Includes motor and fan blade. 12V DC, 0.14A, 1.7W, ~1,120 RPM. Replaces DA97-15765A, DA97-12842A, DA97-12842B, DA97-12842D, DA97-15765D, AP6001015, PS11733650, EAP11733650, DA31-00340A, RMF002ASSA, 4959328. This cools the compressor and condenser coils — a different part and symptom pattern than an evaporator fan, which only affects internal air circulation to the food compartments.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Both the fresh food and freezer compartments running warmer than normal at the same time
23C or 23E error code displayed on the control panel
Noticeable vibration or unusual noise from the condenser/compressor area at the back or bottom of the cabinet
Over-temperature alarm sensor tripping
Fan blade that tries to spin but doesn't complete a full revolution
Fan blade that stops spinning if not manually nudged to keep turning
Refrigerator running constantly as the compressor struggles to keep up
Excessive dust or debris buildup visible around the condenser coils and fan

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Store Perishable Food Separately Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning, and move perishable food to a cooler for the duration of the repair. Wear work gloves. Remove all shelves from the upper refrigerator cabinet to improve access. Using a flat-blade screwdriver, gently ease the back panel away from the cabinet — on many models it's retained by a cam bracket and snaps into place, so it should release without excessive force. This exposes the condenser/circulating fan. Before condemning the motor, clear away any dust, lint, or debris built up around the condenser coils and fan blade — restricted airflow from a dirty coil produces symptoms similar to a failing motor and costs nothing to rule out. Photograph the wiring harness connector and the fan blade's position before disconnecting anything. Remove the two screws holding the fan in place, unplug the fan lead harness connector, and remove the defective fan assembly. Install the new DA97-15765C in the same position, reconnect the harness plug, and reinstall and tighten the two mounting screws securely. Confirm the blade spins freely by hand without contacting the housing or coils before reinstalling the back panel — it should snap back into place via the cam bracket. Reinstall the shelves, restore power, and monitor the refrigerator over the next 24 hours to confirm normal, even cooling has returned and any error code has cleared. Tools needed: flat-blade screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My display shows a 23C or 23E error code. Does that mean I need this part?
It's a strong indicator on many Samsung models, since these codes are commonly associated with condenser fan motor failure. Before ordering, it's still worth a quick visual check — clear any dust or debris from around the condenser coils and fan blade, since a heavily clogged condenser can sometimes trigger similar temperature-related codes. If the error persists after cleaning, or if the fan blade doesn't spin freely by hand, this assembly is the likely fix.
The fan blade tries to spin but won't complete a full turn. Is that normal?
No — this is a classic sign the motor bearings are wearing out or that something is obstructing the blade. A healthy condenser fan should spin freely and continuously once started. If you find yourself needing to give the blade a manual nudge to keep it turning, or it stalls partway through a rotation, the motor has failed and needs to be replaced rather than repeatedly restarted by hand.
Both my fresh food and freezer sections are warm. Is this the right part?
Yes, that pattern points toward the condenser fan rather than an evaporator fan. Because the condenser fan cools the compressor and coils that the entire refrigeration cycle depends on, a failing condenser fan tends to reduce cooling capacity across both compartments together, rather than leaving one side fine while the other struggles.
Does this include the fan blade, or just the motor?
This is a complete assembly that includes both the motor and the fan blade together, so there's no need to transfer a blade from your old unit or source one separately.
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, 0.14A, 1.7W, ~1,120 RPM), fan blade design, and mounting configuration of the original DA97-15765C condenser fan motor assembly used in compatible Samsung French door refrigerators.

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.

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.

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.

AEB73764520 Genuine OEM LG Refrigerator Fan Grille Assembly
The AEB73764520 is a genuine LG OEM fan grille assembly for LG refrigerators. This grille sits around the evaporator fan, holding and directing the air the fan pushes so cold air is guided evenly throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments rather than dispersing unevenly right at the fan. It also serves a protective role, shielding the spinning fan blade from accidental contact while still allowing full, unrestricted airflow through its vents.
Made of durable plastic, this grille can crack, warp, or break over time from the cold temperature cycling inside the freezer compartment, or from accidental impact during cleaning or organizing frozen food. A damaged grille typically shows up as uneven cooling or airflow within the compartment, since air isn't being properly guided and distributed, or in cases of significant damage, a fan blade that's no longer adequately shielded. Because parts that look similar can have small but meaningful differences in size and shape, it's important to confirm this exact part number matches your refrigerator before ordering, rather than relying on general appearance.

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 to protect your hands. Access is typically through the freezer's rear interior panel: remove shelving and bins as needed, then remove the screws securing the back panel to expose the evaporator fan area where the grille is mounted. Photograph the grille's orientation and any mounting clips or screws before removing it. Carefully remove the old grille from around the fan, taking care not to contact the fan blade itself. Install the new AEB73764520 grille in the same position, securing any clips or screws to hold it firmly in place. Reassemble the back panel, restore power, and monitor the refrigerator over the next 24 hours to confirm even, consistent cooling has returned. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My cooling seems uneven, with some areas colder than others. Could this grille be the cause?
Yes, this is possible if the grille is cracked, warped, or has come loose. This grille's job is to guide the evaporator fan's airflow evenly throughout the compartment, so damage or misalignment can cause cold air to concentrate in some areas while other spots don't get adequate circulation.
Why does this part need to match my model so precisely?
Fan grille assemblies that look very similar at a glance can have small differences in size and shape between different LG refrigerator platforms, since the grille has to fit precisely around the specific fan and duct assembly used in your model. Ordering based on a general resemblance rather than confirming your exact model number risks a poor fit that doesn't seat or seal correctly.
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 matches the original mounting and airflow design of the fan grille assembly originally installed in your refrigerator.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator and Move Perishable Food Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Unplug the refrigerator and safely store any food that could spoil while the power is off. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. The evaporator fan motor is located 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 WR60X10220 Refrigerator Condenser Fan Motor
The XPARTCO WR60X10220 is an aftermarket replacement condenser fan motor for GE frost-free refrigerators with a condenser coil. This motor lives in the compressor/machine compartment at the back or bottom of the refrigerator. Whenever the compressor runs, this fan runs right along with it, circulating air through the refrigerator's grille to cool both the compressor and the condenser coils as they work. It also plays a secondary role in helping evaporate excess water that collects in the drain pan.
Because the condenser fan cools the mechanical side of the refrigeration system rather than circulating cold air to your food, a failing motor tends to affect the whole refrigerator's cooling capacity rather than just one compartment. The harness and plug extend approximately 8" from the motor body. Common failure causes include worn motor bearings, dust and debris buildup around the coils restricting airflow, and general electrical wear over time. Symptoms include a refrigerator that runs warm overall, a hot cabinet area near the back or bottom of the unit, a squealing or grinding noise, or the compressor running constantly as it struggles to shed heat. It directly replaces AP4298602, 1257132, AH1766247, EA1766247, PS1766247, WR60X10133, WR60X10171, WR60X10192, and SM10220.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WR60X10220 Refrigerator Condenser Fan Motor fixes GE, Hotpoint, RCA, Kenmore, Haier, Monogram, and Café frost-free refrigerators with a hot cabinet area, squealing or grinding noise, or a fridge running warm overall. Harness and plug extend approximately 8" from the motor. Replaces AP4298602, 1257132, AH1766247, EA1766247, PS1766247, WR60X10133, WR60X10171, WR60X10192, SM10220. This cools the compressor and condenser coils — a different part and symptom pattern than an evaporator fan, which only affects internal air circulation to the food compartments.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Refrigerator running warm overall, in both the fresh food and freezer compartments

Compatibility
This condenser fan motor is compatible with select GE, Hotpoint, and RCA frost-free refrigerators, and also fits select Kenmore, Haier, Monogram, and Café refrigerators built on the GE platform.
Note — condenser fan, not evaporator fan: This motor cools the compressor and condenser coils in the machine compartment at the back or bottom of the refrigerator. It is a completely different part from an evaporator fan motor (such as our WR60X10185 or WR60X10318 listings), which sits behind the freezer's rear panel and circulates cold air to the food compartments. Always verify your full model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure which fan motor your refrigerator needs.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting Shut off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box, then pull the refrigerator away from the wall and disconnect the power cord from the outlet. Wear work gloves. Remove the condenser fan motor cover, typically held on by two screws, to access the motor. Before condemning the motor, clear away any dust, lint, or debris built up around the condenser coils and fan blade — restricted airflow from a dirty coil produces symptoms similar to a failing motor and costs nothing to rule out. Photograph the wiring and the fan blade's position before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the power wire and the ground wire 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. If the old fan blade is seized onto the motor shaft, a firm, sudden strike (rather than steady pressure) will typically break the blade loose from the shaft without damaging the plastic blade, so it can be reused on the new motor. Mount the new WR60X10220 in the same position, reconnect the power and ground wires, and confirm the blade spins freely by hand without contacting the housing before reinstalling the fan cover. Restore power and monitor the refrigerator over the next 24 hours to confirm normal, even cooling has returned and any hot cabinet area or noise has resolved. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My refrigerator has a hot spot on the cabinet and runs warm overall. Is this the right part?
Yes, this is a classic symptom pair for a failing condenser fan motor. Without proper airflow across the condenser coils and compressor, heat builds up in the machine compartment (producing that hot cabinet area) while the whole refrigeration cycle loses efficiency, which shows up as both compartments running warmer than normal rather than just one.
The old fan blade is stuck on the motor shaft. How do I remove it without breaking it?
A gentle, steady pull often won't budge a seized blade, but a firm, sudden strike to the blade (rather than continuous pressure) will typically pop it loose from the metal shaft without damaging the plastic blade itself, so you can reuse it on the new motor if a blade isn't included. Work carefully and support the blade so it doesn't fall and crack once it releases.
Could dirty condenser coils cause the same symptoms as a bad fan motor?
Yes, and it's worth checking before you buy a new motor. A condenser fan pushing air through coils caked in dust, pet hair, or debris will struggle to cool the system properly even if the motor itself is working fine. Clean the coils and the fan blade thoroughly first; if the fan still doesn't spin freely, spins with a wobble, or doesn't run at all afterward, the motor itself has failed and this replacement is the correct fix.
Does this fan also affect my drain pan?
Yes, indirectly. In addition to cooling the compressor and condenser coils, this fan helps evaporate excess water that collects in the drain pan beneath the refrigerator. If the fan has failed, you may notice water pooling or not evaporating as it normally would, in addition to the more obvious cooling and noise symptoms.
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 mounting configuration, dimensions, and airflow performance of the original WR60X10220 condenser fan motor used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, RCA, Kenmore, Haier, Monogram, and Café refrigerators.
