How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the ice maker before working near the fan or compressor.

Access the fan: Remove the rear panel to expose the condenser fan and motor.
Check for obstructions: Remove dust, plastic, or insulation blocking the fan blades. Ensure the blades are not rubbing against the shroud.
Spin test: Rotate the fan blades by hand. They should spin freely. Stiff or locked movement indicates bad bearings or a seized motor.
Inspect wiring: Confirm the fan motor connector is fully seated and wires are intact.
Electrical test: Measure motor coil resistance. An open circuit indicates a failed motor. If the motor receives proper voltage during operation but does not turn, replace the motor.
Reassemble and test: Install the new fan motor, secure the blades, reattach the rear panel, and test the unit to confirm E11 is cleared.

E11 appears and the unit may shut down shortly after starting; fan may not run.
