GE Appliances WR60X10185 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor Replacement Part - Compatible with GE, Hotpoint & Kenmore Refrigerators - Quiet Cooling Fan for Fresh Food Preservation - Perfect for Home Kitchen & Commercial Use

I bought my GE refrigerator in 2002. It's the first refrigerator that I've owned that needs periodic circuit board and fan replacements. About every 6 years it seems. My last fan was purchased from Amazon in 12-2018. Recently I started getting frost build up in the freezer, and my ice maker stopped working properly. The fan was still running at this point so I ordered a new control board and installed it. After it was installed, the fan no longer worked at all. I ordered a new fan and installed it today. My freezer is working perfectly again, sitting at 8°, and my ice is freezing and popping out as it's supposed to. I'm a 64-year-old lady. Changing out the fan isn't hard, but in my refrigerator it's a process!! You have to remove the ice maker, two cowlings, the Shelf, the light, and the back panel. All the while being careful of all the wires that are connected to everything you touch! Lol!! Then you can finally get to the fan! You have to remove a housing bracket to get to the bracket that holds the fan in place. Once I had the new fan secured in its bracket, I did plug the refrigerator in to be sure that it worked! I didn't want to take the whole thing apart again, if for some reason it had arrived doa. Then you just reverse the entire process to put your freezer back together.Replacing the circuit board is so much easier! Anyway, this little motor fixed my 22-year-old refrigerator. And while I had it pulled out, I cleaned everything underneath it also. Now it's good to go for a while again. The motor I received is a Panasonic, as was the one I purchased 6 years ago. They were identical.
