GE Refrigerator Repair – Canton, OH (GNE29GSHCSS)

A GE refrigerator on Quarry Lake Drive in Canton was producing an intermittent buzzing and rattling sound throughout the day. Samuel diagnosed a failing fresh food evaporator fan motor confirmed by fault code F106, replaced the motor, and applied manufacturer software updates to bring the unit back to quiet, proper operation.

The Problem

moderately loud buzzing/rattling intermittent all day. It is still maintaining cold temp.

The Repair

Diagnosis: During test mode operation, the fresh food evaporator fan motor was found to be producing excessive noise. Diagnostic testing confirmed all temperature sensors (thermistors) were reading within normal range, isolating the fault to the fan motor itself. The control board had logged active fault code F106 – FF Fan Feedback Missing (239 occurrences), indicating the main board was not receiving proper speed feedback from the fresh food fan — consistent with the failing motor.

Parts replaced: WR60X26866 (fan).

Repair Performed: Replaced the fresh food evaporator fan motor. Installed three manufacturer software updates to the appliance control system, which include revised fan operation and motor feedback monitoring parameters relevant to this repair. Cleared all stored fault codes and verified proper operation.

Result: Unit tested good. Fresh food fan now operating quietly and reporting correct feedback to the control board. Repair complete.
