GE Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor Assembly

Restore whisper-quiet cooling and optimal airflow to your refrigerator with this Genuine OEM Evaporator Fan Motor. This electronic motor assembly (Part # WR60X26866) drives the fan blades inside the freezer compartment, pulling freezing air across the evaporator coils and circulating it evenly throughout both the fresh food and freezer sections.

If your refrigerator is warming up while the freezer remains cold, your freezer is building up frost, or you hear a loud squealing, buzzing, or clicking noise coming from the back wall of the freezer, the internal bearings or electronic windings inside this motor have likely failed. Manufactured to precise thermal specifications, this factory-certified motor ensures stable internal temperatures and prevents your compressor from running continuously.

Quick Info:

• Compatibility: Precision-engineered for GE (General Electric), Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, and Café refrigerators.

• Fixes Common Issues: Resolves inadequate cooling in the fresh food compartment, loud or unusual grinding noises from the freezer, and evaporator coil freeze-ups.

• Voltage & Specs: Pre-calibrated electronic DC motor designed for exact RPM matching to maintain original factory airflow curves.

• Difficulty: Intermediate. Requires removing the freezer back panel or air tower assembly to access the fan shroud.

Pro Tip: If your old fan motor stopped spinning because it was physically bound up by a solid block of ice, installing this new motor won’t immediately solve your cooling problems. Before mounting the new assembly, use a handheld hair dryer to completely melt away any frost build-up on the evaporator coils and clear the fan shroud area. Leaving ice behind can cause the new fan blades to strike the ice, potentially cracking the blades or straining your brand-new motor.

Safety First: You must completely unplug the refrigerator or shut off the main house circuit breaker before starting this repair. The evaporator fan circuit links directly to the main electronic control board, making complete power isolation critical to protect sensitive backend electronics from accidental short circuits.

Are you looking to replace this because the fan has physically stopped spinning, or are you trying to troubleshoot a specific noise coming from the back of your freezer?
