How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before accessing the fan area.

Access the evaporator compartment: Remove the internal rear panel or top cover to expose the evaporator plate and fan assembly.
Check for ice blockage: Look for heavy frost or ice around the fan. If present, defrost the unit completely by leaving it unplugged with doors open and towels to catch water.
Spin the fan by hand: Ensure the blades rotate freely and are not rubbing on shrouds or wiring.
Inspect wiring: Confirm the fan connector is secure and wires are not cut or pinched.
Test the fan motor: With a multimeter, check resistance across the fan motor leads. An open circuit indicates a failed motor. You can also briefly power the fan with its rated voltage off the unit to confirm operation.
Replace fan motor: If the motor is seized or electrically open, install a new Hisense evaporator fan motor assembly.

Hisense ice maker shows E9 and stops; fan noise may be absent and interior feels warm.
