• Helps maintain uniform temperatures and overall cooling performance
• Common symptoms of a faulty blade: weak airflow, poor cooling or warm spots, rattling/scraping noises from the freezer, longer run times
• Visual signs include a cracked hub, loose fit on the shaft, or broken/missing vanes

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Remove freezer shelves/ice bin and the rear panel to access the fan assembly
• Pull the old blade straight off the motor shaft; align the hub and press the new blade on until fully seated
• Verify blade orientation and free rotation inside the shroud before reassembly

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.

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.
