Possible Causes
Failed fan motor, Seized fan bearings, Faulty fan capacitor (if separate), Loose wiring to fan
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug immediately if the compressor runs without the fan; this can cause overheating.
Steps:
- Check for obstructions: Ensure nothing is blocking the fan blades.
- Spin test: Try to spin the fan by hand. If stiff, the motor is likely seized and must be replaced.
- Inspect wiring: Open the rear panel and check the fan motor connector and wires.
- Replace fan motor: Install a new Orbegozo-compatible fan motor if the old one is seized or electrically open.
- Capacitor check: If the motor uses an external capacitor, test and replace it if out of spec.
