Possible Causes
Failed condenser fan motor, obstructed fan blades by dust or debris, disconnected fan harness, main PCB fan driver failure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the freezer. The condenser fan is near live wiring and hot components.
Steps:
- 1. Access condenser fan: Remove the rear lower panel to expose the condenser coil and fan assembly.
- 2. Clean and inspect: Remove dust, plastic bags, or other debris from the fan blades and surrounding area. Ensure the fan can spin freely.
- 3. Harness check: Verify the fan motor connector is fully seated on the wiring harness. Look for corrosion or burnt pins.
- 4. Spin test: Rotate the fan by hand. Any stiffness or grinding suggests motor failure.
- 5. Replace motor if needed: Install a new Panasonic condenser fan motor, reusing the fan blade if in good condition. Ensure the fan blows air through the condenser coil.
- 6. If motor is good but not powered: The main control PCB may not be sending power; board diagnosis is required.
