GE Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor Parts — Models & Compatibility

Your GE fridge is running constantly, the freezer's getting warm, and there's a clicking sound coming from the back. That's usually your evaporator fan motor giving up. The WR60X10141 replacement motor fits over 100 GE, Hotpoint, and RCA refrigerator models — from the GTS series to the GSS and GDS lines. This hub shows you which models are compatible and what to expect during installation.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

Check your model number first. On most GE refrigerators, you'll find it inside the fresh food section — either on the left or right side wall. It starts with letters like GTS, GSS, or GDS followed by numbers. Cross-reference it with our compatible models list below. If your fridge's freezer section is warming up or the fan isn't spinning when you open the door, this motor's likely the culprit.

About This Replacement Part

The evaporator fan motor (part number WR60X10141) circulates cold air from the evaporator coils throughout your refrigerator. When it fails, you'll notice the fridge running longer than normal, both compartments getting too warm, or unusual clicking and grinding noises. It's a direct replacement for WR60X23584, WR60X10346, and several other GE part numbers. Installation takes 15-30 minutes with basic screwdrivers and a socket set — you'll need to remove the freezer's back panel to access the motor mount. Most DIYers handle this repair without issues.

Common Failure Symptoms

• Fridge and freezer both too warm — Fan isn't circulating cold air
• Constant running — Compressor works overtime trying to compensate
• Clicking or grinding noise — Motor bearings are shot
• Won't start after defrost cycle — Motor seized completely

What You'll Need for Installation

Difficulty: Easy | Estimated Time: 15-30 minutes

• Phillips and flathead screwdrivers
• 1/4" socket set or nut driver
• Needle-nose pliers (for wire harness)

Why This Part Fails

Evaporator fan motors typically last 8-12 years, but they work hard. They run whenever the compressor runs, spinning in sub-zero temps. The bearings eventually wear out, or the motor windings fail. If you've noticed frost buildup in the freezer or heard the fan struggling before it quit, those are warning signs the motor's on its way out.

Real User Feedback

Customers who've installed this motor report quick fixes: "Fridge is up & running" and "Fixed it" are common reactions. The part ships fast, and most people have their refrigerator back to normal the same day they receive it.

Need Help Identifying Your Model?

If you're not sure whether this motor fits your GE refrigerator, grab your model number (the full string of letters and numbers) and contact us. We'll confirm compatibility before you order. The model tag is usually inside the fridge on the side wall or sometimes on the ceiling of the fresh food compartment.
