GE Refrigerator DC Evaporator Fan Motor (WR60X10228)

The GE Refrigerator DC Evaporator Fan Motor drives the fan that circulates cold air from the evaporator coils throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments. It runs continuously during cooling cycles to maintain an even temperature, pulling air across the evaporator and pushing it through internal vents to keep food at the correct storage temperature.

The GE Refrigerator DC Evaporator Fan Motor can fail due to worn bearings, a burned-out motor winding, or ice buildup that jams the fan blade and causes the motor to overheat. Moisture exposure, age-related wear, and running under strain from a blocked or frozen fan can all shorten the motor's lifespan and lead to complete failure.

These symptoms can help you decide if the evaporator fan motor is the source of your problem:

- Refrigerator or freezer not cooling properly despite the compressor running

- Unusual squealing, grinding, or rattling noise coming from inside the freezer

- Fan blade not spinning or spinning slower than normal

- Frost buildup on evaporator coils caused by poor air circulation

- Refrigerator section is warm while the freezer remains cold

- Motor runs but produces little to no airflow through the vents

- Refrigerator cycles on and off more frequently than usual
