Possible Causes
Failed ice compartment fan motor, fan blade obstructed by ice, wiring fault between fan and control board, faulty main control board fan driver
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before working near the fan.
- Step 1 – Access fan: Remove the ice bin and any internal cover to expose the ice compartment fan assembly.
- Step 2 – Check for obstruction: Inspect the fan blades for ice buildup or foreign objects. Clear any obstruction carefully by hand.
- Step 3 – Spin test: Rotate the fan blade by hand. It should spin freely without grinding. Stiff or noisy bearings indicate a failing motor.
- Step 4 – Electrical test: With the fan disconnected and power off, test the motor windings for continuity. An open circuit means the motor is defective.
- Step 5 – Replace fan: Install a new Fisher & Paykel ice compartment fan motor, ensuring the connector is fully seated and wiring is not pinched.
After reassembly, restore power and verify the fan runs quietly. If F9 persists, further control board diagnostics are required.
