Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before working near the fan.
Clear obstructions:
- Remove the rear/side panel and inspect the fan blades for debris or ice.
- Remove any obstructions and ensure the blade spins freely by hand.
Check wiring and motor:
- Verify the fan motor connector is firmly attached to the control board.
- If the fan does not run when the compressor is on, and spins freely by hand, the motor is likely defective and should be replaced.
If a new fan motor still does not run, the control board’s fan output may be faulty and require replacement.
