How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Unplug the ice maker before working near moving parts.
Steps:
- Identify which fan: Listen and observe which fan (condenser or evaporator) is not running when E15 appears.
- Check for obstructions: Remove any ice, wiring, or debris blocking the fan blades. Spin the blade by hand; it should move freely.
- Test motor: With power applied (only if you are qualified), check for voltage at the fan motor terminals. If voltage is present but the fan does not run, replace the fan motor.
- Replace fan assembly: Install an OEM Arktic fan motor and blade assembly, ensuring correct rotation and wiring.
