Freezer shows E7 and the fan inside the freezer may not run, causing uneven temperatures and frost build-up.

Safety first: Unplug the freezer before accessing the fan. Fan blades and metal edges can be sharp.

• Access the fan: Remove baskets and the rear inner panel to expose the evaporator fan assembly.
• Check for ice blockage: Look for ice or debris preventing the fan from turning. If present, fully defrost the area using towels and warm air (not open flames or sharp tools).
• Spin the fan by hand: Gently rotate the fan blades. They should spin freely without grinding or stiffness. If seized or noisy, the evaporator fan motor is likely faulty.
• Inspect wiring: Check the fan’s connector and wiring harness for damage or loose connections. Repair or replace as needed.
• Test voltage (advanced): With the unit powered and door switch held closed, a qualified person can measure voltage at the fan connector. If correct voltage is present but the fan does not run, replace the fan motor.
• Replace fan motor: Remove mounting screws, disconnect the old motor, and install the new one. Ensure the fan blade is correctly oriented and secure.
• Reassemble and test: Refit the rear panel, restore power, and confirm that the fan runs and E7 clears.

Note: If no voltage is present at the fan connector, the main control board or wiring may be at fault and should be checked by a technician.
