GE Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor Parts — Models & Compatibility

When your GE refrigerator starts making clicking sounds or the freezer won't keep things frozen, the evaporator fan motor is usually the culprit. This WR60X10185 replacement fits over 100 GE, Hotpoint, and RCA models — from side-by-sides to bottom freezers. If you're hearing noise from behind the back panel or noticing both compartments running warm, you're in the right place.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

Check your refrigerator's model number — it's typically inside the fresh food section on the left or right wall, or sometimes on the ceiling. Match it against the compatible models list below. The WR60X10185 replaces older part numbers AP3875639, PS1019114, WR60X10043, and WR60X10154, so if you see any of those referenced in your manual, this motor will work.

About This Replacement Part

The evaporator fan motor circulates cold air from the evaporator coils throughout both the freezer and refrigerator compartments. When it fails — usually from bearing wear after years of continuous operation — you'll notice the fridge and freezer getting too warm, or you'll hear clicking or grinding sounds coming from the freezer section. Some units just won't start at all. This motor mounts behind the back panel in your freezer and connects to the main control board. Important note: The thermistor is NOT included with this motor. If your original motor came with a thermistor attached, you'll need to order that separately or transfer your existing one during installation.

Common Symptoms When This Part Fails

• Noisy operation: Grinding, clicking, or squealing from the freezer compartment
• Warm temperatures: Freezer section too warm, or both fridge and freezer not cooling properly
• Won't start: Fan motor doesn't run at all, no air circulation
• Intermittent cooling: Temperatures fluctuate as the motor struggles

What You'll Need for Installation

You'll need to unplug the refrigerator and remove the freezer's back panel to access the evaporator fan assembly. Have a 1/4" nut driver and Phillips screwdriver ready. The job typically takes 30-45 minutes once you've got the panel off. Remember to disconnect the wire harness before removing the old motor, and if your model has a thermistor wire, note its position for reinstallation.

This WR60X10185 evaporator fan motor works with the following GE, Hotpoint, and RCA refrigerator models. If you don't see your exact model listed, check the original part numbers on your existing motor — if it matches any of the superseded numbers (WR60X10043, WR60X10154, AP3875639), this is your replacement.
