WR02X11331 - GE Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor Grommet

This GE Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor Grommet (WR02X11331) is a specially designed component manufactured by GE for their refrigerators. It acts as a cushion between the evaporator fan motor and the motor mounting bracket, ensuring quiet operation by absorbing the vibration from the evaporator fan motor. Compatible with GE brand refrigerators, this grommet is made of blue plastic and is approximately one inch in diameter. Also known as "Evaporator Fan Grommet" and "Grommet Evap Fan", it plays a critical role in minimizing operational noise. If you're noticing that your refrigerator's evaporator fan is unusually noisy, it could be an indication that the grommet is damaged. To replace this part, access to the evaporator fan motor assembly is necessary, and replacing the grommet involves removing this assembly. While undertaking this repair, it's advisable to safely store any food that could deteriorate and to unplug the refrigerator. Wearing work gloves during the replacement process can protect your hands.

Common symptoms indicating a need for replacement include a noticeably louder evaporator fan. Replacing the grommet can alleviate this issue, contributing to a quieter refrigerator operation. Please verify your refrigerator's model number prior to purchasing to ensure compatibility.
