Gorenje Evaporator Fan Not Running

Freezer is unusually quiet; no fan noise inside, but compressor is running and cooling is weak or uneven.

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

Failed evaporator fan motor, Broken fan wiring, Fan blocked by ice, Faulty door switch preventing fan operation

Safety: Disconnect power before working inside the cabinet.

Door switch test: With the freezer powered, press and hold the door switch; you should normally hear the fan. If not, unplug and inspect.
Check for ice blockage: Remove the inner rear panel and look for ice around the fan. Defrost fully if necessary.
Test fan motor: Measure resistance across the fan motor terminals. Replace the evaporator fan motor if open or seized.
Inspect wiring: Repair any damaged wires or loose connectors between the fan and PCB.
