Avanti ice maker's fan does not run, but compressor gets very hot and unit makes little or no ice.

Safety: Unplug before working near the fan or compressor.

Steps:

• 1. Inspect fan area: Remove the rear panel and check for debris blocking the fan blade. Clear any obstructions.
• 2. Spin blade by hand: If the blade is stiff or seized, the motor is likely bad and should be replaced.
• 3. Test motor: Measure resistance across the fan motor leads. An open circuit indicates failure.
• 4. Check wiring and board: Ensure the fan connector is secure on the control board. If the motor is good but never receives power, the board's fan relay may be defective.
