How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power before accessing the fan.
- Check door switch: Ensure the door switch is working; a faulty switch may prevent the fan from running with the door closed.
- Access fan: Remove baskets and inner rear panel to reach the fan assembly.
- Clear ice: Remove any ice around the fan using hot water and towels.
- Test fan motor: Spin blades by hand and test for continuity across motor terminals. Replace the motor if seized or open circuit.
If the fan receives correct voltage but does not run, replace the evaporator fan motor with a Montpellier-compatible part.
