How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before accessing the fan.
Steps:
- Check for obstruction: Remove the rear cover and ensure nothing is blocking the fan blades.
- Spin test: Gently spin the fan by hand. If it is stiff or seized, the motor is likely faulty.
- Inspect wiring: Confirm the fan connector is firmly plugged into the control board.
If the fan does not run when the compressor is on, even after clearing obstructions and checking wiring, replace the fan motor assembly.
