General Electric Evaporator Fan Motor WR60X10185 OEM Part

Evaporator Fan Motor for Refrigerators<br /><br />This essential refrigerator component, located at the back of the appliance, functions to move air over the cooling coils. It effectively addresses common problems such as excessive noise and a non-operational state.<br /><br />Designed as a genuine replacement part for GE refrigerators, this motor is compatible with several brands including Hotpoint, General Electric, and Sears-Kenmore. It is tailored for models that do not utilize a thermistor within the connection harness. Operating on 9.75 volts DC, the motor drives an evaporator fan to draw and distribute air through the coils, ensuring robust cooling performance. It features a 1/8-inch shaft and includes a 12-inch, 4-wire harness. The motor is positioned behind the auger motor assembly in the freezer section, affixed to the rear wall.<br /><br />While this motor is built for durability, obstruction of the fan blade can lead to its malfunction, affecting cooling efficiency and the compressor’s operation. In cases of freezer cooling issues, inspect the fan blade for blockages and use a multimeter to check the motor's resistance. A replacement should be considered if the motor is found to be defective.<br /><br />Replacing this part addresses:<br />- Excessive noise during operation<br />- Insufficient cooling in the refrigerator<br />- Inadequate temperature control in the freezer
