GE Refrigerator Repair – Canton, OH (TBX22MACBRWW)

A Canton homeowner called about her older GE top-freezer refrigerator that had stopped cooling the bottom section properly. The freezer was staying cold, but the refrigerator compartment was warm. She suspected the evaporator fan motor had failed again, having had it replaced about 1.5–2 years ago.

The Problem

The customer reported that her refrigerator had a freezer that stayed cold but the bottom section wasn’t cooling. She knew from a previous repair that this was likely the evaporator fan motor failing again, as it had been replaced around 1.5–2 years ago, possibly with a generic or used part.

Diagnosis

Our inspection confirmed the customer’s suspicion. The evaporator fan motor had failed, preventing proper air circulation between the freezer and refrigerator compartments. Without this fan running, cold air stays trapped in the freezer while the fresh food section warms up.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WR60X30349 — Evap fan motor
• Work performed: Replaced fan motor
• Result: Good to go

Is It Worth Repairing?

For older GE top-freezer refrigerators, evaporator fan motor replacement is typically worthwhile if the unit has been reliable otherwise. These models are generally well-built, and fan motor failure is a common issue that doesn’t indicate broader system problems. The fact that this fan lasted 1.5–2 years suggests the refrigerator still has useful life remaining.

Maintenance Tips for GE Refrigerators

• Keep condenser coils clean — dusty coils make the evaporator fan work harder
• Don’t overpack the freezer or refrigerator sections, as blocked airflow strains the fan motor
• Check door seals regularly to prevent the cooling system from overworking
