Product review (4 stars): A few issues, but an acceptable motor.
This motor is definitely louder than the original, but our fridge is 20-30 years old, and the original GE motors back then were extremely well built and designed to be nearly silent.  With this motor, there is a low dull rumble sound, but really not that noticeable unless all else is quiet in the house.  (I bench tested the motor before installation, and it was silent, but there was a slight shimmying, and once installed, the fridge seems to amplify that shimmy/vibration into the rumble sound.)  However, it is still an ACCEPTABLE noise level as far as we are concerned.
  At $92 (from Amazon.com LLC directly, not through a third party vendor), this was NOT the cheapest option, but I wanted a GE motor that would fit perfectly right out of the box with no modifications, and I didn't want a cheap, universal Chinese knock-off that required cutting off the original connectors, splicing wires, or adding crimp-on connectors, etc.  And this motor fit right out of the box-- the spade connectors were exactly where they were supposed to be, the two rectangular side-notches on the shaft matched the tabs on original the fan, it circulates the air across the condenser coils and drip pan as it's supposed to, and the fridge is running great again.
  I should note, however, that this motor is made in China, and although the box has a GE logo stamped on it, the box also says "Genuine Renewal Part."  (Uhh, "renewal" part??  Maybe you mean "replacement" part?)  In addition, the "instruction sheet" was of photo-copy quality, and was nearly incomprehensible at first, warning not to use one set of screws (that were not included) except for certain models.  So, either GE is farming out their parts manufacturing to to China (but the translation department isn't quite on the ball), or it 's a knock-off after all. For now, I am trusting that it is an actual GE replacement part, but manufactured in China.
  One issue I had with this motor was that where the spade connectors are located, there is a gap under them that is open to the internal part of the motor, and that will allow dust into the inside of the motor. That's probably not good.  (The original motor was completely sealed in this area, with NO gap that would allow dust to get inside, with the spade connectors isolated on outside.)  Once the wire connectors are attached, the gap is covered somewhat (but not completely), so I added a small piece of duct tape over the area to help keep the dust out.
  The motor also comes with three self-tapping screws to go into the mounting holes  on the motor (which are NOT pre-tapped in the new motor), but these provided screws have much smaller heads  than the originals and are pretty chinzy.  Because the actual threaded screw diameter was exactly the same as the original self-tapping screws from the original motor, I opted to used the original self-tapping screws from the old motor because they have hex heads and a MUCH wider flange.  Whether you use the original screws or the new ones provided, be sure to pre-tap the holes in the new motor with the screws you plan to use BEFORE you begin the installation of the new motor (even BEFORE you install the fan on the new motor so you don't damage the fan).  Screw the self-tapping screws all the way into the holes, then remove the screws, install the fan on the motor (unless your model requires installing the fan AFTER installing the motor), and THEN install the motor in the fridge. That way, when you are on your hands and knees peering under the fridge with a flashlight, it is MUCH easier to get the screws into the newly pre-tapped holes.  You can even just use your fingers to get them started, which is NOT the case if you haven't pre-tapped them!  (TIP: Install the TOP screw FIRST but not completely tight, and the motor will hang naturally aligned for easier installation of the lower two screws.)
  Conclusion: The motor has been running fine for a week now, and I will update this post if there are any future problems.  So for now, we are pleased with the purchase, the fridge is running great, and despite the few criticisms, 4 stars.
