Possible Causes

Failed evaporator fan motor, Ice obstruction around fan blades, Broken fan wiring harness, Faulty fan driver on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the freezer before removing any internal panels or touching the fan assembly.

  • Check for airflow: With the unit running (before unplugging), feel for air movement from vents. Lack of airflow with a running compressor suggests a fan issue.
  • Access fan: Remove drawers and the rear inner panel to expose the evaporator fan assembly in your Fagor freezer.
  • Inspect for ice: Look for ice buildup around the fan blades or shroud. Carefully melt ice with a hair dryer on low, avoiding direct heat on plastic.
  • Spin test: With power off, spin the fan blades by hand. They should rotate freely. Stiff or seized movement indicates a bad motor.
  • Electrical test: Check the fan motor connector and wiring for damage. With a multimeter, verify continuity of the motor windings. Replace the Fagor evaporator fan motor if open or shorted.
  • Control board: If the motor is good but never receives voltage when the compressor runs, the control board fan output may be defective and require replacement.
