A GE refrigerator on Bayard Road in Homeworth was making a ticking noise from the back and not cooling well in either compartment. Our diagnosis revealed a faulty evaporator fan and flaky cold control that needed replacement.
The Problem
The customer reported a ticking noise from back and that the refrigerator was not cooling well either compartment.
Diagnosis
Evaporator fan was faulty and the cold control was flaky. The combination of these two failing components was preventing proper cooling in both the refrigerator and freezer sections.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: GEWR09X10104 — control temperature, wr60x10257 — motor ac/dc fan, 8009 — light bulb
- Work performed: Replaced both parts and also replaced fridge compartment lightbulb
- Result: Good to go
Is It Worth Repairing?
GE refrigerators from this era are generally solid appliances worth repairing when the issues are component-level failures like fan motors and controls. This model should provide several more years of reliable service with these repairs completed.
Maintenance Tips for GE Refrigerators
- Keep condenser coils clean — GE models benefit from vacuuming the coils every 6 months
- Check door seals regularly for proper closure to maintain cooling efficiency
- Replace water filters on schedule if your GE model has an ice maker or water dispenser
