Possible Causes
Failed evaporator fan motor, Ice obstructing fan blades, Broken fan wiring, Faulty fan driver on control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the freezer before accessing the fan.
- Listen for fan: With the door switch pressed (door open), you should normally hear the fan. Silence suggests a problem.
- Access fan: Remove the inner rear panel to reach the evaporator fan motor. Check for ice buildup around the blades and housing.
- Clear obstructions: Melt any ice blocking the fan. Spin the blades by hand; they should move freely.
- Test motor: Check for continuity across the motor terminals. Replace the fan motor if open or seized.
If the motor is good but not receiving power, the control board or wiring is suspect and should be checked by a professional.
