For about 12 months ice has been building up behind the panel in the back of our GE frig where the evaporator fan is located. When we would hear the fan blades striking the ice we knew the ice had built up to the point where we would defrost the frig. The last time it built up we didn’t defrost it in time and the fan motor failed. No fan, the frig would cool to only 50 degrees. Beside the fan motor what other parts do i need?

Hello Larry, thank you for your question. I would recommend replacing the bi metal defrost thermostat part number WR02X12591 and heater assembly part number WR51X10104. You can test these parts to be sure you need both of them. To test the thermostat, Set your multitester to the R X 1 ohms setting. Place each of the multitester's leads on a thermostat wire. When your thermostat is cold, it should produce a reading of zero on your multitester. If it is warm (anywhere from forty to ninety degrees Fahrenheit), then this test should produce a reading of infinity. To test the heater, Set your multitester to the R X 1 scale. Place the tester's leads on one terminal each. This should produce a reading anywhere in between zero and infinity. If your multitester produces a reading of zero, or a reading of infinity, then your defrost heater should most definitely be replaced. There are many different kinds of elements, and so it is difficult to say what exactly the reading should be for your defrost heater. But it definitely should not be zero or infinity. If it is, replace the mechanism. I hope this helps!

Hi Pat,
Thank you for your question. This part is going to be directly behind your evaporator cover. Close to where your evaporator fan motor is. Good luck with your repair.
