How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit. Never work near the fan while it is powered.

Steps to fix fan issues:

Check for obstructions: Remove front/rear grilles and inspect the fan blades or blower wheel for foreign objects. Remove any debris.
Spin test: Try spinning the fan by hand. If it is stiff or seized, the motor bearings are likely bad and the motor should be replaced.
Inspect wiring: Verify the fan motor connector is secure on the main board and that wires are intact.
Test motor: With the motor disconnected, measure resistance across its windings. An open circuit indicates a failed motor.
Replace fan motor: Remove mounting screws, detach the fan blade or blower wheel, and install a new OEM Electrolux fan motor.

Warning: Operating the compressor without a working fan can cause severe overheating and damage.

Dehumidifier fan does not run; compressor may start and then shut down quickly.
