How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the freezer before working near the compressor and fan. Components may be hot.

Steps:

Access fan: Remove the rear lower panel to expose the condenser fan near the compressor and condenser coils.
Clear obstructions: Remove any debris, dust, or objects blocking the fan blades.
Spin test: Try spinning the fan by hand. If it is stiff or does not spin freely, the motor is likely failing.
Check wiring: Ensure the fan connector is secure and wires are intact.
Replace fan motor: Install a new Midea condenser fan motor assembly. Ensure correct rotation and that the blade does not rub the shroud.

Note: Running the freezer without a working condenser fan can overheat and damage the compressor.
