My washer is fixed now my fridge is going wwwwwwwwhrrrrrrrreeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

[Green Mountain]

When I piped in my ice maker I left a coil of copper in the back so I can pull it out on the rollers. I was told by my appliance guy, Franny, that this is normal procedure.

On occasion this frigde dances back a little and the coil of copper starts to vibrate. Really annoying when you have friends sitting around the kitchen table sucking down some Coors.

All I have to do is put my hands on the unit and gently pull it forward and the noise stops. My friends are impressed that I can do this. "My Lord he has been doing refrigeration so long that he just lays his hands on the refrigerator and it is cured. Say Alleluia!!

Not impressed with GE. Ice maker was replaced under warranty.
But now part of the plastic chute broke off and ice comes pouring out way too fast.

I looked at the condenser coil and it was like some round looking contraption. Looked like a pain in the arse to clean, which I need to do...

GE = POS

I have a 2 year old GE too and the thing sometimes makes this incredibly annoying noise because the fan in the freezer is off balance and vibrates at just the right speed. It's amazing how a $5 part can ruin a $1000 fridge.

This is what you need to do Dice,
call a hack out, snap open a beer and enjoy the show !!

Yeah, thats the problem, I ordered the motor and the blade and it was close to $40 with shipping, my cost.

After I get it and pop it in, I'll let ya know.
The fan motor I mean.

Glad you cleared that up Dice!! It got scary for a second!!

[Diceman]

GE used to make very good appliances, but like anything, all driven by price these days.

[dave and julie]

$40 for a fan? Does it do anything else in addition to moving air, like say... the dishes? It must be really fancy. It's probably going to do the same thing as the one you replace.

[Diceman]

Yeah, I know that is high for a little evap fan but it might be DC like the one guy mentioned, or a special fit or something, or myabe GE knows it got ya by the balls and can charge whatever they want. If the new one is noisy as well, it's going back and GE service can take over.....the fags......

[dave and julie]

Come to think of it, I beleive it is DC. I've noticed its speed varies. It sometimes has to hunt to find that magic RPM that pisses me off.

[Diceman]

Well that's what they get for making something simple like an Acme fan motor so complicated..anyway....if mine works out and ya want me to get you a new one let me know, either of you Dave or Julie or whoever else moves into your head in the meantime

[condenseddave]

Wasn't that a movie?

"Dave and Julie and Fred and Sally"

Or something like that....


yeah, leave it to a manufacturer to make an evap fan motor an exciting adventure that results in an epic thread on an internet forum.
