GE designed the evaporator motor drive to fail if the evaporator motor failed!
Only thing I can think happened is the new evaporator motor was in fact a bad one sent back!!
One other detail, these motors are sensitive to burnout of the bearings due to moisture. It is necessary to add the slinger/umbrella to the motor shaft when installing!
