OK I have a 2010 Kenmore 106.60234900 with a noisy evaporator fan motor so I looked the part up and ordered motor 2315539. Two years later I go to replace the noisy evap motor I find the factory motor is W10208121.
I would like to know if the new switching design 2163777 motor is considered superior to the original shaded pole motor W10208121?

I am not sure where you are getting these part numbers.
I looked up your model number on bothe Sears and AppliancePartsPros and the 2315539 comes up as the correct number.

When I look up 216777 it comes up as a fan blade not a fan motor.
Denman hanks for the reply and sorry about putting the fan part number in place of the motor 2315539 part number.
Looks like Sears and Appliance Part Pros were wrong about my frig having part number 2315539 fan from the factory.
Fan 2315539 has a two wire plastic power plug and my frig does not have the matching plug. So to use the 2315539 I will have to cut off the plastic plug and crimp on spade terminals that match the factory wires.
Other than the wires it looks like the two motors are interchangeable.
The sticker on the factory open frame evap motor says-
ORM.1037K1 AC115HZ 0.14A
W10208121Z. PCLA (3000 RPM) FSP
OH SUNG OT
Sorry but I do not know the answer to this.
