The Evaporator Fan Motor Kit is an OEM part compatible with GE refrigerators. It is a critical component responsible for circulating air and maintaining proper airflow within the refrigerator's evaporator system, ensuring efficient cooling and temperature regulation. It features a shaft that measures 3/8 of an inch and two right-side terminals. Notably, the motor no longer comes with harness wires, which must be obtained separately for installation.

Symptoms of a faulty evaporator fan motor include:

• Inconsistent or inadequate cooling in the refrigerator or freezer compartments
• Warm spots or temperature fluctuations within the refrigerator
• Excessive frost buildup or ice accumulation in the freezer

Causes of a bad evaporator fan motor can include wear and tear over time, electrical issues or short circuits, or physical damage from foreign objects or improper maintenance.

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore refrigerator models. 

The Fan Blade Grommet is an OEM replacement part for GE brand refrigerators. Located behind the evaporator fan blade where its central shaft passes through, this rubber sealing piece creates a protective barrier isolating the fan assembly.

Causes of a potentially problematic fan blade grommet include cracks or deterioration that develop from continuous vibration and impacts over extended use. Exposure to temperature fluctuations can also cause the rubber to harden and lose elasticity. 

Symptoms of a faulty fan blade grommet include:

• Airflow obstructions within the duct 
• Noisy vibrations from the fan assembly
• Rubber debris collecting on components

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore model refrigerators.

This is the rear fan bracket. For front bracket use WR2X7137.

This genuine replacement screw secures appliance components and restores proper fit and function. Use it when original fasteners are missing, stripped, or corroded to stop loose panels and rattling and keep parts aligned. What it does

• Fastens panels, brackets, or small components to the appliance frame

• Restores secure fit where threads are stripped or corroded
• Helps prevent further damage from loose parts by maintaining correct alignment

• Use the correct screwdriver or driver bit to avoid stripping the head
• Thread and tighten by hand first, then snug — avoid over-tightening which can strip threads or crack plastic
• Disconnect power to the appliance before working on internal components
• Consider replacing the mating nut or insert for a secure repair

The Evaporator Fan Blade is an OEM component for GE freezers and bottom-mount refrigerator designs. Located inside the freezer compartment, this fan blade spins to circulate cold air evenly throughout the storage space.

Causes of a faulty evaporator fan blade include natural fatigue from running year-round. Freezers exposed to humid environments may experience faster corrosion.

Symptoms include: 

• Abnormal sounds like knocking or clunking from inside the walls  
• cold spots developing in certain freezer areas
• Higher power bills from inefficient temperature regulation
• Frost or ice patches forming on evaporator coils

This part is also compatible with some brands like Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore.

Replacement screw that secures panels and internal components, helping stop rattles and keep parts aligned. Use it to replace stripped, rusted, or missing fasteners and restore a secure fit. What it does:

An evaporator fan blade mounts on the evaporator fan motor to move cold air across the coils and throughout the refrigerator compartments. Replacing a cracked, warped, or loose blade restores proper airflow, temperature balance, and quiet operation.

• Circulates air across the evaporator and into the fresh food and freezer sections to maintain even temperatures
• Helps reduce frost/ice buildup on the evaporator cover by improving airflow after defrost
• Common symptoms of a damaged blade: rattling or scraping noises behind an interior panel, weak or no airflow at vents, warming in the fresh food section, or uneven cooling
• A cracked or loose blade may spin but move little air even when the motor runs

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before service
• Access the evaporator fan behind the interior rear panel; remove the cover/shroud as required (varies by model)
• Note blade orientation; seat the new blade fully on the motor shaft and verify clearance inside the shroud
• Reassemble panels, restore power, and confirm the fan spins freely without rubbing

This evaporator coil assembly circulates refrigerant and absorbs heat inside the freezer section to enable efficient cooling and proper temperature control. Replacing a worn or damaged coil restores normal refrigeration performance. What it does:

• Commonly linked to symptoms such as reduced cooling, excessive frost or ice buildup, or long run times
• Works with the freezer compartment's fan and defrost system to keep airflow and temperature stable

• Disconnect power before beginning any service to avoid electrical shock
• Refrigerant system work (evacuating or recharging) must be performed by a certified HVAC/refrigeration technician per local regulations
• Handle the coil carefully to avoid bending fins or damaging the tubing and connections
• Confirm fit and necessary mounting hardware or gaskets before installation; additional components may be required

This defrost heater melts frost and ice from the freezer evaporator so the refrigerator can maintain proper airflow and cooling. Replaces a failed heater to restore normal automatic defrost cycles and prevent excessive frost buildup. What it does:

• Disconnect power before accessing the evaporator compartment or any wiring.
• Install requires removing interior liners or evaporator cover—follow your model's service manual.
• Inspect and test the defrost thermostat and bi-metal or control board if the heater failed; replace as needed.
• Avoid touching the heater element or bending evaporator fins; handle components carefully.

The Drain Pan is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. Located below the evaporator coil and fans in the back of the refrigerator, it is designed to collect and channel condensation to the evaporator drain tube.

As it is continuously exposed to moisture and changes in temperature, small cracks can develop over time in a drain pan. Issues such as condensation leaks, water stains, or clogs may indicate an underlying problem. 

Symptoms of a bad Drain Pan include:

• Water or frost buildup beneath the refrigerator  
• Moisture accumulation inside cabinet surfaces
• Slow draining of condensation or clogged drain tube

This OEM GE replacement part helps ensure proper airflow by containing moisture. Replace yours to prevent potential problems and maintain efficient cooling operations. The pan is manufactured with durable plastic to withstand environmental fluctuations inside the refrigerator.

• Flickering or inconsistent light operation
• Difficulty pressing or releasing the switch

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This defrost thermostat senses evaporator temperature and shuts off the defrost heater once the coil warms, preventing overheating. Replacing a failed thermostat restores proper defrosting to stop ice buildup and stabilize refrigerator temperatures.

• Controls the defrost heater based on evaporator coil temperature
• Closes when cold to allow defrost; opens as the coil warms to end the cycle
• Protects against overheating during defrost
• Failure may cause frost/ice on the back wall or evaporator, poor cooling, or a heater that never energizes

• Disconnect power before service; evaporator fins and sheet metal are sharp
• Access the evaporator by removing the freezer rear panel; note wire routing and mounting
• Position the new thermostat in the same location for tight contact with the tubing; reconnect wires exactly as found
• Reassemble and monitor a defrost cycle to confirm heater operation

This actuator arm connects to the fresh-food air damper to move the damper door and help direct cold air into the refrigerator compartment. Replaces a worn or broken arm to restore damper movement and airflow control. What it does:
