How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the freezer before working at the rear.
Steps:
- 1. Access condenser fan: Remove the rear lower panel to expose the condenser coil and fan (on models that use an external fan).
- 2. Clean area: Vacuum dust and debris from the condenser and fan blades.
- 3. Check for obstructions: Ensure nothing is blocking the fan from spinning.
- 4. Spin test: Turn the fan blades by hand; they should move freely.
- 5. Electrical test: Measure resistance across the fan motor terminals. An open circuit indicates a failed motor.
- 6. Replace fan motor: Install a new condenser fan motor assembly, ensuring correct wiring and secure mounting.
