Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing the indoor fan assembly.
- Step 1 – Check fan settings: Ensure the remote is not set to a special mode that disables the fan.
- Step 2 – Inspect blower: Remove filters and look for ice, plastic, or debris blocking the blower wheel.
- Step 3 – Try manual rotation: With power OFF, gently rotate the blower wheel. If it is stiff or seized, the motor may have failed.
- Step 4 – Check wiring: Verify the fan motor connector is firmly attached to the indoor PCB.
- Step 5 – Replacement: If the motor does not run at any speed, it likely needs replacement by a technician.
