Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the freezer and ensure the rear area is dry before working.
- Access condenser fan: Remove the rear lower panel to expose the condenser coil, compressor, and fan.
- Inspect fan: Remove debris (dust, plastic, insulation) from the blades. Ensure they spin freely by hand.
- Test motor: Check continuity of the condenser fan motor. Replace if open or if the motor is noisy and slow.
If the fan motor is good but never receives power when the compressor runs, the control board or wiring is likely faulty and should be serviced by a technician.
