How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the freezer before accessing the interior fan.
Steps:
- 1. Defrost if iced: If you see frost around the rear panel, defrost the freezer fully to remove ice that may be contacting the fan.
- 2. Access fan: Remove the interior rear panel to expose the evaporator fan.
- 3. Inspect fan: Check for ice, debris, or a loose blade. Re-seat the blade securely on the motor shaft.
- 4. Replace fan motor: If the noise persists and the motor feels rough when spun by hand, replace the evaporator fan motor with a Bomann-compatible unit.
