GE WR60X10141 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor Assembly, 1/8 X 2-1/2 Inch, 115V, 3 watts



My GE refrigerator is now quiet and works perfectly!
I had purchased my GE refrigerator only a few years before. Last year in the fall the freezer evaporator fan would intermittently make a very loud vibrating noise when it turned on to circulate the cold air from the freezer to the rest of the refrigerator. The freezer and refrigerator seemed to be keeping their respective cold temperatures but I knew the loud vibrating noise couldn't be a good thing for the long run. I did an internet search for my model number. There were a few YouTube videos that showed how some models of GE and other refrigerators would get ice build up and how that could cause this fan noise problem. I moved everything from the freezer and placed it in the refrigerator and I unplugged the power from the entire refrigerator.

I used the YouTube video for reference. It took a few minutes to disassemble the parts in the freezer area so I could reach the fan. It didn't appear that I had an ice buildup problem but I decided to let the existing frost to melt...

refer motor
Motor was exactly just like what was on the Fridge. Easy to remove and reinstall.
You tube has a great Video if you need to know how to do it and are not that handy..

Motor works just like the orig lets hope however it lasts longer than 4 years.

Finally some good sleep...
Works exactly as it should, that annoying noise is gone now. I mean, noise that would keep us up in the middle of the night from across the house and you wonder if the neighbor is going to make a noise complaint kind of noise. This part along with some new rubber grommets fixed it right up.
