Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing the fan or control board.
Steps:
- Access evaporator fan: Remove drawers and rear interior panel to reach the fan assembly.
- Visual check: Ensure the fan blades are intact and not rubbing against the shroud.
- Connector check: Reseat the multi-pin connector on the fan motor and on the control board.
- Test operation: After reassembly, briefly power on and listen for smooth fan operation. If the fan starts and stops rapidly or does not reach speed, the tachometer circuit may be faulty.
Remedy: Replace the evaporator fan motor assembly if it includes the speed feedback electronics. If a new fan does not resolve F15, the main control board may need replacement.
