A GE refrigerator in Sebring, OH wasn’t cooling properly in the fresh food section while the freezer worked mostly fine. Our diagnostic found the evaporator fan had failed, preventing proper air circulation throughout the refrigerator compartment.
The Problem
The customer reported that the freezer works mostly but the fridge doesn’t seem to function right and wasn’t cooling right. This is a classic symptom of airflow issues within the refrigerator system.
Diagnosis
We found the refrigerator defrost function was operating fine, but the evaporator fan had failed. Without a working evaporator fan, cold air couldn’t circulate properly from the freezer section to the fresh food compartment, leaving the fridge section warm while the freezer continued to function.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: WR60X10185 — DC evaporator fan
- Work performed: Installed new evaporator fan
- Result: The fridge is operating correctly with proper cooling restored
Is It Worth Repairing?
GE refrigerators are generally well-built appliances, and an evaporator fan replacement is a straightforward repair that extends the unit’s life significantly. For a side-by-side model like this GSH25JSXJSS, this type of repair typically provides years of continued reliable service.
Maintenance Tips for GE Refrigerators
- Keep condenser coils clean — GE side-by-side models collect dust underneath that reduces cooling efficiency
- Replace water filters every 6 months to maintain proper water flow and ice production
- Check door seals regularly on both compartments — damaged gaskets force the evaporator fan to work harder
