Hi Willy I just wanted to say thank you so much for putting this video together. I was able to diagnose by putting the red and the yellow together to positive and white to negative that the fan doesnt indeed not work, I ordered a replacement Thank you !
Because the motor runs does not prove that it's good. This motor has 4 wires. 1 of them is DC power and 1 is DC ground. The 3rd wire is for sending an rpm signal to the control board and the 4th is for receiving a rpm command signal from the control board. GE refrigerators with these 4 wire motors have a "liner protection mode" . If you leave the freezer door open for a few minutes the freezer fan motor comes on. If it comes on you know the fan motor and the control board are good. If the fan doesn't come on you have either a bad fan motor or a bad control board or BOTH . Bad fan motors can take out the control board. So if you have a bad fan motor but think you have a bad control board, you can blow the new board.
I measured the volts on the red and yellow wires using the white wire as negative. Red was higher about 12.5, yellow was lower about 11.5 or thereabouts, but they were both close to 12volts on those wires compared to the white wire in center of plug. 2 end white wires on the far side of the plug are for some kind of temperature sensor. I have a 6-wire plug with fan wr60x10307. Since I have volts, the board is good, and the fan is bad. Another issue was the fan blade was not pushed down on the shaft far enough, every time it ran, it made a horrible racket, and it slightly grooved the plastic cover inside. A new fan and putting it farther down, I should have a quiet fridge. Been that way since new.
@GLCApplianceRepairs: In order to be sure that it is the main pcb board that's not sending power to the fan, will you please show us how to test it? Thanks and I look forward to subscribing to your channel soon.
Just did this test on a DC Frigidaire evap fan. Has a brown instead of white wire. Fan says 12 volts. The test worked. Now I only have to buy the overpriced P.O.S. main board.

Thank you for posting this video, very appreciated 👏
Finally! A great an understandable video on testing a god-dame 9/12volt freezer fan motor. Thanks......

Nygolfer, thank for the info. Any info on the defroster freezing up
fantastic info on clarifying every wire on what it does / thank you

@scottdowney4318 My customer had the same problem with their fan rubbing on the plastic and making a racket.
Hi thank you very much please make more videos. it was very helpful
Great stuff man! Never knew how to test these DC motors before this.💪
May I know why you join the yellow and red wire?
Thank you very much! It is very useful and help me to check that my new fan does work,so figured out:why change new fan,it still does not work.

Why did you put the red and yellow wires together?
the yellow ,blue and white wires how can I wire it up for a fan for something diff. ????
Thanks,helped big time
