GE Fridge Repair – Homeworth, OH (GFE28HGHDWW)

A GE refrigerator in Homeworth, OH stopped cooling in the fresh food section while the freezer continued working normally. Our diagnosis revealed a failed evaporator fan motor preventing proper air circulation.

The Problem

The customer reported their fridge was not cooling while the freezer section remained fine. This is a classic symptom of evaporator fan motor failure in side-by-side and French door refrigerators.

Diagnosis

We found the evaporator fan motor had failed completely. This DC fan motor is responsible for circulating cold air from the freezer section into the fresh food compartment. When it stops working, the freezer continues to cool but the refrigerator section loses its cold air supply.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WR60X26866 — DC evaporator fan motor
• Work performed: Installed new fan motor
• Result: Refrigerator section now cooling properly with good air circulation

Is It Worth Repairing?

GE refrigerators are generally well-built appliances that respond well to repairs. The GFE28HGHDWW is a French door model that should provide many more years of service after replacing a failed component like the evaporator fan motor.

Maintenance Tips for GE Refrigerators

• Keep condenser coils clean — GE recommends cleaning every 6 months for optimal cooling efficiency
• Replace water filters every 6 months to maintain proper water flow and ice production
