WR60X10209 (OE) Refrigerator Condenser Fan Motor
The WR60X10209 is an OE (Original Equipment) DC condenser fan motor for GE refrigerators. This motor lives in the compressor/machine compartment at the back or bottom of the refrigerator. Whenever the compressor runs, this fan runs right along with it, circulating air across the condenser coils to help dissipate heat from the hot refrigerant before it moves on to the evaporator, keeping the compressor from overheating and the whole system running efficiently.
Rated 11.3V DC, 2.2W, with a 4-pin plastic plug carrying 4 wires (white, blue, red, and yellow). The motor shaft measures 1/8" in diameter and 2-7/8" long. Common failure causes include worn motor bearings, dirty or obstructed condenser coils forcing the motor to work harder than intended, and general electrical wear. Symptoms include increased noise when the freezer door is opened, warm temperatures inside the refrigerator, and — left unaddressed — compressor overheating and food spoilage from a refrigerator that can no longer maintain temperature. It directly replaces WR60X10042, WR60X10053, WR60X10065, WR60X10080, WR60X10081, WR60X10155, WR60X10216, WR60X24483, AP4265957, and PS1483567.
Quick Answer
The WR60X10209 (OE) Refrigerator Condenser Fan Motor fixes GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and select Kenmore refrigerators with increased noise near the compressor compartment, warm temperatures inside the fridge, or early signs of compressor overheating. 11.3V DC, 2.2W, 4-pin/4-wire plug, 1/8" x 2-7/8" shaft. Replaces WR60X10042, WR60X10053, WR60X10065, WR60X10080, WR60X10081, WR60X10155, WR60X10216, WR60X24483, AP4265957, PS1483567. This is the 12V DC condenser fan — if your refrigerator needs a 120V motor, see our WR60X10220 listing instead.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
- Increased noise near the compressor compartment or when the freezer door is opened
- Warm temperatures inside the refrigerator
- Refrigerator running constantly as it struggles to maintain temperature
- Compressor overheating from restricted airflow around the condenser coils
- Food spoilage from a refrigerator that can't hold a consistent temperature
- Fan blade that doesn't spin freely, or doesn't spin at all, when checked by hand
What Is an OE Part?
OE (Original Equipment) means this part is manufactured by the same original supplier that produces the Genuine OEM version — identical fit, materials, and performance. The only difference is packaging: OE parts ship under our XPARTCO brand rather than the appliance manufacturer's branded box, which is why they can't be listed as Genuine OEM. You get factory-original quality at a more affordable price.
Cross Reference Information
Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models. For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item.

The motor's own sticker also references production number 197D2407P013. If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility.
Compatibility
This condenser fan motor is compatible with select GE and Hotpoint refrigerators, and also fits select RCA and Kenmore refrigerators built on the GE platform.
Note — 12V DC, not 120V: This is the 12V DC condenser fan motor. If your refrigerator calls for a 120V motor instead, you need our WR60X10220 listing. This is also a condenser fan (cools the compressor and condenser coils), not an evaporator fan (circulates cold air to the food compartments) — a different part from our WR60X10074, WR60X10185, and WR60X10318 evaporator fan motor listings. Always verify your full model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure which fan motor your refrigerator needs.

Installation Notes
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is there a fire/explosion warning on this part?
Some refrigerators use a flammable refrigerant, such as R600a (isobutane), instead of older non-flammable refrigerants. Electrical components like fan motors sit near refrigerant lines and can be a source of ignition if a leak were ever present, which is why GE specifically requires an authorized, correctly rated service part for these systems rather than a generic substitute. This isn't a concern unique to this listing — it reflects GE's general guidance for electrical components used in flammable-refrigerant refrigerators, and confirming your model and refrigerant type before ordering is the appropriate precaution.
My refrigerator is noisy and runs warm. Is this the condenser fan?
It's a strong possibility, especially if the noise seems to come from the back or bottom of the unit and you notice both symptoms together. Without proper airflow across the condenser coils, heat builds up in the machine compartment, which reduces the whole refrigeration cycle's efficiency and shows up as warmer-than-normal temperatures throughout the fridge.
Could dirty condenser coils cause the same symptoms as a bad fan motor?
Yes, and it's worth checking before you buy a new motor. A condenser fan pushing air through coils caked in dust, pet hair, or debris will struggle to cool the system properly even if the motor itself is working fine. Clean the coils and the fan blade thoroughly first; if the fan still doesn't spin freely, spins with a wobble, or doesn't run at all afterward, the motor itself has failed and this replacement is the correct fix.
Is this a genuine OEM part?
This is an OE (Original Equipment) part sold under our XPARTCO brand. OE parts are manufactured by the same original supplier that produces the Genuine OEM part, so the fit, materials, and performance are identical — the difference is that OE parts ship in XPARTCO packaging rather than the appliance manufacturer's branded box, which is why we can't list them as Genuine OEM. This gives you factory-original quality at a more affordable price than the branded version.
