No problems
The part was an exact match. Fortunately it is a 110 V fan so it was easy to test the broken one. Put it in and put the fridge back together and we now have cold in the fridge, not just the freezer.

OK result but dissapointed
The online videos gave enough information for me to figure out that the fan was bad and how I might start on the repair. All of the information was not available on how to disassemble the freezer back panel. The box containing was arrived in overnight delivery (extra cost) but was crushed. The plastic connector on the new motor was broken. I had no choise but to use it as is, or loose everything I had in the freezer. I have used PartsSelect before with good results. I was a little disappointed this time. My freezer is in working order now. I have pictures of the box and part but cannot attach them.

the evporator fan motor was noisy and ran constantly
First I removed the two plastic fan compartment covers mounted on the top of the freezer. Next I removed the ice maker by loosening the two bracket screws and unpluging the electrical connector. Be careful, I burned my hand on the heating element located on the bottom of the unit under the cube tray. I then removed the screws holding the

I also replaced the two blue grommets, at the top and bottom of the fan module just to be safe. Installation was in the reverse. Note: this model apparently is hard on evaporator fans as this is the third one in four years!

Motor vibration
I pulled the inside cover in the freezer off, pulled the motor out of the bracket, replaced the fan blade , motor, and grommet and that was pretty much it. Very easy to replace. Parts select was fast and had the cheapest price available. Thanks Steven Roffey
Like the other repair story I read about this part, the fridge was cool not cold (58* instead of an ideal 38*), and my ice cream stayed soft in the freezer. I removed the pannels in the freezer with a small socket wrench to find the fan burnt out. When the motor came, all I had to do was move the fan blade and gromets to the new motor. Cl

My evaporator fan seems to runs slow. But i donot have a way to meassure the rpm and or the air flow. The sympton are that i am getting 0 degrees f at the freezer but only about 50 in the fridge. I do have 120 volts going to the fan.
For model number GTS22KBPCRBB
Hello Luis, thank you for your question. It sounds like the fan is starting to fail. If the unit isn't blowing fast enough the cold air isn't being pushed into the fridge. I would recommend replacing the Evaporator Fan Motor - 115V 60Hz WR60X10257 to fix this issue! I hope this helps!
