Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the ice maker before accessing the rear compartment. Beware of sharp metal edges.
Steps:
- 1. Inspect fan area: Remove the rear panel and visually inspect the condenser fan. Clear any dust, plastic wrap, or debris blocking the blades.
- 2. Spin test: Gently spin the fan by hand. It should rotate freely without grinding. If stiff or noisy, the motor is likely failing.
- 3. Check wiring: Ensure the fan connector is fully seated on the harness and that wires are not cut or pinched.
- 4. Voltage test (advanced): With the unit powered and calling for cooling (technician only), measure voltage at the fan connector. If correct voltage is present but the fan does not run, replace the fan motor.
- 5. Replace fan motor: Remove mounting screws, disconnect wiring, and install a new Blomberg condenser fan motor. Confirm blades are correctly oriented and not rubbing on shrouds.
