GE Refrigerator Repair – CANTON, OH (GTS18HGNDRWW)

A GE refrigerator on Cleveland Avenue NW in Canton, OH wasn’t keeping the bottom section cool. When we opened up the freezer compartment, we found the evaporator fan had completely failed.

The Problem

The customer called because their refrigerator wasn’t keeping the bottom section cool. The freezer was still working, but the fresh food compartment was running warm.

Diagnosis

The evaporator fan in the freezer had failed. This fan circulates cold air from the freezer coils down into the refrigerator section, so when it stops working, the bottom compartment loses cooling while the freezer continues to function.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WR60X31522 — Evaporator fan
• Work performed: Replaced fan motor
• Result: Good to go

Is It Worth Repairing?

GE refrigerators from this era are generally solid appliances worth repairing, especially for a single component failure like a fan motor. This model should provide several more years of reliable service with proper maintenance.

Maintenance Tips for GE Refrigerators

• Keep condenser coils clean underneath or behind the unit — dirty coils make the compressor work harder
• Replace water filters every 6 months to maintain proper flow and ice quality
• Check door seals regularly and clean them with warm soapy water to maintain proper sealing
