If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the freezer before removing interior panels. Fan blades and metal edges can be sharp.
- Listen for fan operation: With the door switch held closed and the unit running, you should normally hear the evaporator fan. Silence or intermittent noise suggests a problem.
- Access the fan: Remove baskets and the rear interior panel to expose the evaporator and fan assembly.
- Check for ice blockage: If the fan is encased in ice, fully defrost the area by unplugging the unit and allowing ice to melt. Do not pry ice off the blades.
- Inspect wiring and connector: Ensure the fan connector is firmly attached and wires are not cut or pinched.
- Replace the fan motor if seized or noisy: Remove mounting screws, disconnect the wiring, and install a new Asko-compatible evaporator fan motor. Ensure the fan spins freely and is oriented correctly for airflow.
If the fan tests good but does not receive voltage when it should run, the control board or wiring harness may be at fault and require professional diagnosis.
