Product review (4 stars): Fix your Fridge! Drop-in OEM Part Replacement
Milk spoiling?  Fridge runs and runs and is cold in the back of the freezer, but no air blows when you open it up?  You can fix your fridge!  Rather than throw out that >$1000 fridge, buy a simple to install replacement part!

This part was an exact drop-in replacement for the old motor in my GE refrigerator (same Panasonic part number).

I did have to remove a molded on silicone rubber mounting piece on the old motor's wiring harness (this is seen in some photos of this motor out on the web) so I could mount it on the new motor.  If you want to do this (optional, OCD engineer step), slice the rubber carefully lengthwise along the direction that the wiring runs so that you can free it from the over-molded part.  Once you have the old wiring harness free, you can slip the rubber mount onto the new motor's wiring harness in such a way that the new wires run where the old wires were placed.

While you have the fridge opened up for service, you should go ahead a check the controller board for damage (specifically the power resistors).  Check the web and youtube for how-to videos that show how to measure voltage on the control board to see if it is damaged as well (Amazon sells these boards as well).  I didn't need them, but I bet there are videos that walk you through the replacement process for the motor itself.

Now my fridge works great again!  Spoiled milk?  A thing of the past!

I gave this motor only 4 stars because although Amazon went above and beyond getting me the new motor by Monday afternoon when ordered Saturday afternoon, the old motor should not have failed in the way that it did (dead coil in the brushless DC motor drive as well as a horrid grinding noise from the rotor for months before the motor finally died).

Update: Extra, unexpected benefit -> our icemaker started working well again.  It worked before, but was real slow to fill.  So if your icemaker works but is slow, the fan may be the culprit there too!
