Safety first: Disconnect the appliance from mains power before accessing fan assemblies.

Resolution steps:

Locate the fan: Depending on the SMEG model, there may be a condenser fan at the rear and an evaporator fan inside the cabinet.
Check for obstructions: Remove any ice buildup, plastic packaging, or debris preventing the fan from spinning. Ensure blades are not rubbing against shrouds.
Spin test: Gently spin the fan blades by hand. If stiff or noisy, the motor bearings may be failing and the motor should be replaced.
Electrical test: With power disconnected, measure resistance across the fan motor terminals. An open circuit indicates a failed motor. Replace with a SMEG-compatible fan motor.
Inspect wiring and connectors: Confirm that the fan connector is firmly seated on the PCB and that wires are not damaged.
Control board check: If the fan motor tests good but never receives voltage when the unit is running, the PCB fan driver may be defective, requiring board replacement.

Ice maker displays a fan error; internal fan does not run and ice production is poor or stops.
