How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the ice maker before accessing the fan.

Steps:

  • Check for obstructions: Remove the rear panel and clear any debris blocking the fan.
  • Spin test: Try spinning the fan blade by hand. If it is stiff or seized, replace the condenser fan motor.
  • Wiring: Ensure the fan connector is firmly attached to the main PCB.
  • Voltage test: With caution and only if qualified, test for voltage at the fan connector when the compressor is running. If no voltage is present, the main control board may be faulty.
