Antarctic Star Condenser Fan Failure

Condenser fan does not run; compressor overheats or unit shuts down

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Failed fan motor, obstructed fan blades, loose fan wiring, seized fan bearings

Safety: Unplug the unit before working near the fan.

Steps:

Inspect blades: Remove the rear panel and check for debris blocking the fan. Clear any obstructions.
Spin test: Spin the fan by hand. If it is stiff or does not spin freely, the motor is likely failing.
Check wiring: Ensure the fan connector is firmly attached to the control board and wires are intact.
Replace fan motor: If the fan does not run when the compressor is on, replace the condenser fan motor with an Antarctic Star-compatible part.
