Freezer shows error code F5 and the internal fan may run at incorrect speeds or not at all.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Defective evaporator fan motor, Faulty fan speed control circuit on PCB, Wiring harness damage, Obstruction in fan housing

Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing the fan assembly.

Inspect fan area: Remove the internal rear panel and check for ice or debris obstructing the fan blades.
Test fan motor: With a multimeter, check for appropriate resistance across the fan motor terminals. An open circuit indicates a failed motor.
Replace fan: If the motor is faulty or noisy, install an Ariston-compatible evaporator fan motor.

When to call a technician: If a new fan does not resolve F5, the fan control circuit on the main PCB may be defective.
