How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the freezer before removing interior panels or touching the fan assembly.
- Step 1 – Listen for fan: With the door open, press and hold the door switch. After a short delay, you should hear the evaporator fan running. If not, proceed to inspection.
- Step 2 – Access fan: Remove shelves and the rear interior panel to expose the evaporator fan assembly.
- Step 3 – Check for ice or obstructions: Look for ice buildup around the fan shroud or blades. If present, defrost the area using towels and a fan. Do not chip ice with sharp tools.
- Step 4 – Inspect wiring and motor: Ensure the fan connector is firmly seated and wires are not damaged. Spin the fan blades by hand; they should move freely without grinding.
- Step 5 – Replace fan motor: If the motor does not run when powered and wiring is intact, replace the evaporator fan motor with a JennAir-compatible part.
