A3309AASWW General Electric Refrigerator - Instructions

The original design is poor. The evaporator fan is mounted in an upright position just below the ice-maker. A plastic grate mounts over the fan assembly to allow for air circulation. Unfortunately, random chips of ice from the ice maker can fall into the fan, causing the fan to shear its blades. Replacement of the fan blade is relatively simple (accept for having to completely unload the freezer and remove all back covers, the ice-maker auger motor assembly, and the metal evaporator cover). In order to mimimze this from reoccuring, I installed a 1/4'' mesh metal screen over the exhaust ports on the cover. Thus far, this has worked well to keep ice chips out of the evaporator fan.

This was a no brainer, ordered the part, had it within about 4 or 5 days, removed the broken part and screwed the newone in place, easy as that! This is the second time I have purchased from PartSelect both times the correct part arrived in good time. Keep up the good service.
