The Evaporator Motor Mounting Seal is an OEM part for GE refrigerators, designed to ensure a secure and airtight seal around the evaporator motor. This small but critical component helps to minimize the escape of cold air and the entry of warm air into the evaporator area, enhancing the efficiency of the refrigerator's cooling system.
Causes of a bad evaporator motor mounting seal can include deterioration over time, damage due to improper installation or handling, and wear and tear from continuous operation. A compromised seal can lead to the motor shifting or vibrating excessively, which can affect the efficiency of the cooling system and cause further damage to the motor or surrounding components.
Symptoms of a bad Evaporator Motor Mounting Seal include:
- Noticeable frost build-up in the freezer compartment
- The refrigerator or freezer section not cooling adequately
- Unusual noises due to air leakage that affects fan operation
- Increased energy consumption as the refrigerator works harder to maintain the desired temperature
This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
