Ge WR02X12499 Fan OEM Part

I found an exploded drawing and part list on the manufacturer's site. I ordered new fan parts from APP because of the low prices and fast shipping. We have a standard size top freezer GE refrigerator. Four screws hold the back panel (inside the freezer) in place. After removing the screws the panel comes off easily. The single wiring harness connector comes off with a squeeze. At this point you can take the panel out of the freezer and change the motor and fan on a more convenient work surface. To access the fan bracket screws the plastic duct piece must be removed from the front of the panel. Be careful not to break the fragile plastic tabs on this piece. Remove the brackets holding the fan motor and replace the motor. Be careful not to lose the rubber bushings supporting the fan motor. Next time I will order those too. Reassembly is the reverse. We now have a quiet freezer.

The covering of the fan was removed and it could be seen that the fan was not turning easily. So the part was ordered. THe old fan was removed along with the motor, and the new motor and fan inserted.

Looked at parts needed, ordered, removed what I believed to be faulty and reassembled. The evaporator fan and parts were delivered the next day. Called to get help with where to reattach what I believed to be a ground wire. After a 12 minute wait a consultant gave me the direction I needed. Again the do it yourself experience was a great experience for a 75 year old retired school teacher, even while my wife was yelling that I was thawing the food from the freezer. That he could not help.

I called Appliance Parts Pros. This was my first time calling. The parts arrived when expected and customer service (lowindad@appliancepartspros.com) was absolutely wonderful! Thanks. I will certainly use you company again.

I replaced the evaporator fan.
