There's a problem with the model number provided. I'd go with the Whirlpool option.
I didn't notice the e because I wasn't paying attention to the motor. vs. when I put it in place GTH18EBC2RBB is the model number of the GE refrigerator, which I purchased new in 2009. This motor is a replacement for the original model, which is no longer available. The new motor is in excellent condition. Panasonic or GE are the companies I'd most likely contact.

Selected User Reviews For GE WR60X23584 Evaporator Motor
To begin with, if this motor continues to work, 5- a rating of five stars The original evaporator fan motor in the freezer made a loud noise whenever it turned on, which was the first red flag. The sound stopped after a few weeks (the motor had died out). While the freezer continued to function normally, the temperature in the refrigerator began to rise. The evaporator fan is in charge of moving cold air from the freezer into the refrigerator. The fridge temperature returned to normal after I replaced the motor.
Plastic is used in the majority of OEM motors. This one isn't well built, but if it isn't well padded with front and back silicone/rubber bushings, it will rattle or make a LOUD purr. I spent another ten dollars on new front and rear bushings that I didn't think I needed. They looked exactly like the ones I had. When the motor is reassembled, however, the housing fits VERY SLIGHTLY between the standard bushings. REMEDY for a loose-fitting motor: br>br> To make the motor fit tightly in its bracket, I added more silicone (and made my own spacer washers) to the front and rear bushings. The motor's vibrations are also absorbed by the bushings. My GE refrigerator is now extremely quiet and performs admirably. I ordered a backup motor and a different brand of silicone bushings from somewhere else in case the first one fails. Making my own silicone washers wasn't difficult because I already had plenty of materials on hand. Others, on the other hand, may find it more difficult.
To begin, I have a GE GTH18GCDCRBB refrigerator. Second, for comparison, the photos show the original motor. The last picture is just to give you an idea of what happened. ) And now for the new one's review. It's a lot more durable and roomy than the original. It's a "loose" fit, held in place only by the bushings/gaskets on the brackets that hold the motor in place, just like the original. It appears to be quieter than the original, but since that one was becoming noisier over time, it could just be my imagination or a faulty memory of quieter days. Even though the thermostat setting remains the same, it appears that the temperatures rise with this motor, but then return to the 38-degree range. 40 and 0- I suppose I'll take the panels inside the freezer off again someday and double-check that everything was installed correctly when I replaced it.
I was about to replace my refrigerator because it had been making a loud, annoying noise for months. more frequently and loudly longer duration until it becomes intolerable mental torture It used to be that all you had to do was Fonzy it, give it a good smack, and it'd go away, but that no longer works. I decided to replace the fan motor after doing some research to see if it would help, and it did! Woohoo! For less than $40, I was able to restore my sanity and enjoy my space once more. Of course, it isn't completely silent, but it has returned to a normal decibel range.
My GE gts16dthjrww fridge's evaporator fan motor was repaired with this. The old motor's axle was loose, causing the fridge to be extremely loud and the interior temperature to be insufficiently cold. br>br>It took me 20 minutes to install everything (including moving my frozen foods out and back in). It only took four screws to remove, saving me hundreds of dollars that I would have spent on a service technician otherwise. In fact, this motor is superior to the original because it is Panasonic-branded, whereas the original was unbranded.
My refrigerator was on the verge of being replaced because it couldn't keep food cold. Although the freezer appeared to be in good working order, the refrigerator was not. This motor is used by the circulating fan, as I discovered. It pulls cold air from the freezer and directs it into the refrigerator. br>I was able to replace the motor in less than an hour after watching a YouTube video. Screws are the majority of it. Make sure the fridge is defrosted because frozen plastic is brittle. br>At this point, the refrigerator is working perfectly. I'm expecting it to last a few more years.
In less than three months, I had to purchase two of these. The first one appeared to be fine, but after about 8 weeks, it began to bang again. I purchased the same listing as the previous one, but the part arrived without a ground wire and with a different part number. Because there was no way to swap grounds, I had no choice but to put it in because they appeared to be the same on the outside and the freezer was empty on my counter. The second motor is louder than the replacement, which was quieter than the original, so I'm assuming it won't last long. I can't advise you not to buy it, but you should be aware of the risks. It's a difficult decision to put your freezer back together after it's been empty and dismantled, hoping that the third time will be the charm.
The original was in a plastic clam shell that allowed moisture to condense around the shaft bearing, causing the loud noises. This is an encased or molded motor, which is good, and it is made by Panasonic in Thailand; the original was in a plastic clam shell that allowed moisture to condense around the shaft bearing, which caused the loud noises. Unloading the freezer proved to be the most difficult task.
