Possible Causes
Failed fan motor, Blocked fan blades by ice, Broken fan tachometer wire (if equipped), Faulty fan driver on control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing the fan or evaporator area.
- Check for noise or airflow: Before unplugging, listen for the fan and feel for airflow. No airflow with a running compressor suggests a fan issue.
- Access fan assembly: Remove drawers and the rear inner panel to expose the Fagor evaporator fan.
- Clear ice: If ice is obstructing the fan, carefully melt it with a hair dryer on low. Do not use sharp tools.
- Test motor: Spin the fan by hand; if stiff, replace the fan motor. Check motor resistance with a multimeter and compare to specifications.
- Inspect wiring: Ensure the fan connector is secure and wires are intact. Replace the fan harness if damaged.
- Control board: If the fan is good but never receives power, the control board fan driver may be faulty and require replacement.
