Thank you for this step by step and easy to follow tutorial. I ordered a GE Evaporator Fan Motor (Part #WR60X26866) from Amazon for $39.99 and had it swapped out in less than an hour. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.

I'm glad the video was helpful! I recommend using OEM parts for better longevity.

This video was SUPER helpful! I wasn’t 100% sure it was the FF evaporator fan causing my issue, and didn’t know how to read the results of the diagnostic test so I did have to pay someone to come out and confirm that was indeed the problem. But I denied their $300-something service charge to fix it, went out & bought the part and used this video to replace it myself. Super simple and the instructions are very detailed and run at a good pace. This video allowed me to feel so proud of myself and my abilities 😁

Great video! I was able to determine the problem, order the part, and fix our 6yo GE Profile refrigerator myself while my husband worked on another big project in our home. You saved us a lot of money. Thank you.

Great video, thanks! Pro tip: for navigating to different tests, like the FF Fan Test (47), instead of hitting 'Fridge' on the right side of the panel to increase by one, you can hit 'Freezer' on the left side of the panel to increase by tens to, say, get to 40 and then use the 'Fridge' button to go up seven more. 'Ice Maker' decreases by tens as well. Makes it so much easier to navigate up and down.

Definitely giving you a like for this one, parts needed to be ordered but to fix my fridge for $160 bucks was a lifesaver!!!

You are a genius! Replacement part and everything worked perfect.

Your kind words mean the world to me. I'm thrilled it all worked out.

How do you know if you need to complete the software update? GE is telling me no update is required

Great video thank you. Any suggestions on how to make sure it doesn't happen again? I didn't have any issue with my duct tower but looks like we had too much ice buildup?

Hello have same exact fridge did the 47 then hit crushed but nothing came up for me . I don't feel any air flow coming from the top can is still be the same issue of the fan or something different?

Thank you so much for your easy-to-understand explanation. well understood, Thank you.

If you get the genuine GE replacement part WR60X26866, it says no software or firmware upgrade is required. I hope it's correct.

How do would you say we saved doing this ourself? I just replaced mines using this video. I also need to replace my evap cover. It’s warped bad. Thank you for the video!!!

I don’t feel air flow at the top but there’s also ice build up behind the bottom drawer. Could it still be the fan?

It could be the fan motor, but I recommend testing it first. Place the unit in Diagnostic mode and check if you can feel airflow. If there's no airflow, it might indicate a faulty evaporator fan motor. Hope this helps!

So if the diagnostic test (47) had resulted in air flowing, would that mean the control board is the problem? I'm actually working on an electrolux but have the same warm fridge compartment problem. The evaporator fan does was not blowing, but when I entered diagnostic mode and tested it, it worked fine. Thanks for the video. Thumbs up.

Hello! It sounds like you might be dealing with a main control issue. However, I recommend checking your door switches under diagnostic mode first to ensure they aren't causing the problem. Before replacing the main control board (MPC), it's also a good idea to inspect the evaporator thermistor. This component sends signals to the MPC, which then regulates the fan motor's speed to effectively remove moisture.

When I press crushed after setting it to 47, all numbers just go back to zero whether I touch crushed lightly or hold it.

I have the exact fridge. The freezer is making ice on the sides. Could that be the cause of the fridge not cooling well?

My fridge looks exactly like this except i dont have the ice dispenser in the door. What buttons do i push to enter diagnostic mode? PLEASE, if i have to have a tech come out the closest one is almost 100 miles away. Lol i really dont want to have to pay all that travel time if i can do it myself. 😀

I have this exact fridge. The water dispencer suddenly stopped working but the ice maker is still working. Because of that I know the water line should be ok. It's also weird, the fridge and freezer seem to be regulating temperature fine but the meat drawer is freezing everything no matter the temperature setting.

Couple questions 1) where do I find a list of the codes 2) where do I buy the update box? Thank you for the video

on line appliance sales have them, Amazon has them but you never know if its an actual GE product or an China copy (which is full of copy abuse products cart parts tools ect.) that could cause your appliance to need a new circuit.

I did not see a spot to order software update. Can you direct me to it?Thanks

Where to get software update? Please

I inherited a ge cafe fridge, very similar to what you worked on. I had the ice build up, defrosted and replaced the evaporator fan. The fan works. This helped a little. Fridge still to warm. I read my particular fridge needs the software update. The parts house says they don’t need updates anymore and do not have the software module. I called GE and they said the new fans do not need the software/module update. I replaced the thermistor and it cools better. But Now my fridge cools to 41-45, better but not holding 37. The display on the fridge will say the temp is 34 but it’s 41-45. I can unplug it and the display will change to 41-45 and cool it down to 37 but back to 41-45 soon after. Can unplug and do it again… No icing problem. I have replaced this evaporator fan, thermistor at top of fridge, the condenser fan. Refrigerator will not hold 37. I checked the coils today and they are not frosted up. Seals on doors are good, vacuumed condenser coils, they were not dirty. Do you think it needs the update even though the parts house and GE says it doesn’t. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated

@@jonathancaleb87 I finally broke down and called a repairman, 2 actually. I would definitely use a GE repairman. He hooked up his computer to the fridge and could read everything. When I replaced the heater limiter( forget the actual name) I didn’t make a good connection. He did do the update also but sure if it helped. But my fridge stays about 39-40 according to my free standing thermometer. I purchased a mother board that I ended up not needing. Let me know if you need it, probably won’t.

Can all Ge cafe fridges be updated I have a cafe CFE28TSHSS

Why the software update? What's the outcome if you don't apply the update?

How’s the fan working for you

I have the same fridge, the evaporator fan went out the first time last yr, I replaced it without knowing you have to do a update. What will if I didn’t update the software? Cause now my fridge temp is not cooling correctly, the temp now is at the 40s. No ice build up like before. There’s air coming from thr vents just not cooling at the right temp. Do I have to buy another evaporator fan again? It still running and seems like good air flow coming out.

@onlineappliancetech

Жыл бұрын

The update will help the MPC control the variable speed DC fan motor at correct RPM to remove air flow from the evaporator. If not it will frost over again, not allowing air flow causing temp to rise. I recommend placing the unit in diagnosis mode to pull up error codes if any and is placed in test mode to see if part is working or not. Hope this helps to have a good one!
