WR60M136 - Genuine OEM GE Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor

WR60M136 – Genuine OEM GE Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
The WR60M136 Genuine OEM GE Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor is a replacement component intended for compatible GE refrigerators. The evaporator fan motor circulates cold air through the refrigerator's cooling system, helping maintain consistent temperatures throughout the appliance. When the fan motor fails, airflow can become restricted, potentially causing uneven cooling, warm compartments, or unusual fan noises.
Appliance Kingdom is a Canadian appliance parts supplier based in Edmonton, Alberta, serving homeowners, landlords, property managers, and professional appliance repair technicians across Canada. We offer Canada-wide shipping to help customers source the replacement parts they need. Before ordering, verify that WR60M136 matches your refrigerator's complete model number.
Function & Importance of the Evaporator Fan Motor
The evaporator fan motor drives the fan that moves air across the evaporator and distributes cooled air through the refrigerator's air passages. Proper airflow helps the refrigerator maintain suitable storage temperatures and supports consistent cooling performance.
A defective motor may stop rotating, operate intermittently, or produce excessive noise. When airflow is reduced, the refrigerator may struggle to maintain temperature even if other cooling components continue to operate.
Choosing the correct replacement motor is important because electrical specifications, mounting arrangements, connectors, and operating characteristics must match the appliance. Using the appropriate part helps restore intended airflow and supports reliable refrigerator operation.
Common Symptoms of a Faulty Evaporator Fan Motor
A failing evaporator fan motor may cause the following symptoms:
-
Refrigerator not cooling properly: Insufficient airflow can prevent cold air from circulating effectively.
-
Uneven refrigerator temperatures: Some areas may remain colder than others because cooled air is not distributed properly.
-
Freezer cooling problems: Depending on the refrigerator design, a failed evaporator fan can affect freezer temperature and cooling performance.
-
Unusual fan noises: Grinding, rattling, squealing, or intermittent noises may indicate a worn or damaged motor or fan assembly.
-
Fan not running: A failed motor may stop circulating air entirely.
-
Temperature fluctuations: Intermittent fan operation can contribute to inconsistent cooling.
These symptoms do not automatically confirm that the evaporator fan motor is defective. Ice buildup, wiring faults, control-board problems, door-seal issues, or other cooling-system faults can produce similar symptoms.
Will Replacing WR60M136 Fix My Refrigerator?
Replacing the evaporator fan motor can resolve cooling and airflow problems when testing confirms that the original motor has failed.
If the fan is not running, produces abnormal noise, or cannot circulate air properly, a compatible replacement may restore normal operation. However, if the underlying issue involves the control system, wiring, excessive frost, or another refrigerator component, replacing the motor alone may not solve the problem.
For the best results, diagnose the fault and verify the part number against your refrigerator's model information before purchasing.

Installation Overview
Replacing an evaporator fan motor is generally a moderate appliance repair. The procedure may require removing interior panels, accessing the evaporator compartment, disconnecting electrical connectors, and reinstalling the fan assembly.
An experienced DIYer with suitable tools and appliance-repair knowledge may be able to perform this repair. However, the refrigerator must be disconnected from electrical power before servicing. Take care around sharp metal edges, wiring, and the evaporator coil, and do not puncture or bend refrigerant tubing.
Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with refrigerator electrical components or cannot safely access the motor.
