Possible Causes
Failed evaporator fan motor, Ice buildup around fan blades, Loose or damaged fan wiring, Obstructed air ducts
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power before accessing internal fan assemblies.
Steps:
- Open ice compartment: Listen for fan operation when the door is closed (some models stop fan when door is open). If silent, suspect fan issues.
- Check for ice blockage: Remove the inner rear panel to inspect the fan. Clear any ice or frost blocking the blades or air channels.
- Spin test: With power off, spin the fan blade by hand. It should rotate freely without scraping.
- Electrical test: Measure fan motor resistance and check harness connections to the control board.
Resolution: Replace the evaporator fan motor if seized or electrically open. Also address any defrost issues causing repeated ice buildup.
