On this model there are two fans top and bottom, is the motor the same? Is this something the home owner could replace? Thanks
For model number GTS18GTHSRWW
Fix.com logo
Hello Ted, Thank you for the question. The Top fan is the Evaporator Fan, Fix Number: FIX10063450 and the bottom is the Condenser Fan, Fix Number: FIX11721902. The Fan motors are different. Most customers have been able to perform the repair on their own. We hope this helps!

Wondering if this part will stop endless noise . Temperatures for freezer and lower fridge are good. But when running it is hours at a time. Sometimes all day or all night. Noise is annoying. Medium level.
For model number GTH17BBZ2LWW

Hello Nancy, thank you for your question. Yes, the replacement of the Evaporator Fan Motor PS12741350 should correct the issue with the temperature and the noise. Good luck with your repair.

1) Run Capacitor. Disconnected electrical power plug from the wall socket. Located the Run Capacitor in bottom rear of refrigerator, disconnected the retainer spring, pulled the wasted run capacitor off and plugged the new one into the slot and replaced the retainer spring. 2) Motor AC/DC Evaporator Fan. Opened top freezer door. Removed t he shelving by carefully sliding the shelving pins upward and into the recessed slots for easy removal. Used Phillip's head screw driver to remove two screws holding the face guard in place and the 6" Crescent wrench to remove the bracket holding the fan motor to the bracket and the Phillip's head screw driver to remove two screws holding the bracket to the inside rear of the freezer. Unplugged the wasted motor AC/DC Evaporator Fan and plugged the new one into its place. Reinstalled all hardware as it came out. Refrigerator is now working like new. Simple and easy project saved me $100s of dollars fro having to purchase a new Refrigerator. My significant other was happy that it worked so well and saved $$. She was happy and went to Walmart shopping with the savings and brought me a pizza home. Everyone was a winner. Paul and Kimberly Juliana

Freezer cold, refrigerator not cold
The biggest challenge was removing the plastic cover to the evaporator. Replacing the evaporator was straightforward. I watched YouTube’s ahead of this repair - quite helpful.

Here’s the one big watch out: make sure when you attach the evaporator fan to the evaporator motor that it blows the air down into the refrigerator and n ot into the freezer.

If you find the evaporator fan is blowing the air into the freezer compartment, then carefully remove the evaporator fan from the evaporator motor, turn it over and re-attach it again. It should blow the air into the refrigerator at this point.

Finish reassembly and you are good to go.

Very Noisy Intermitent Evaporator Fan
I just followed the "how to" videos which were very helpful with one exception. I turned off the circuit breaker in the garage rather than pull the fridge out from the wall to unplug it which was easier. This also eliminated the need to raise the leveling feet so the rollers would touch the floor for a pull out. I replaced the grommets and the fan blade as well but really didn't need to as the motor was the culprit. Works like new now and an expensive service call was avoided.
