This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Failed fan motor, obstructed fan blade, wiring harness damage, defective control relay

Safety: Unplug the unit before servicing the fan.

Inspect fan area: Remove the rear or lower panel and check for debris blocking the fan blade.
Spin test: Turn the blade by hand; it should spin freely. If stiff or seized, replace the fan motor.
Electrical test: With power on and compressor running (use caution), check for voltage at the fan motor. If voltage is present but the fan does not run, replace the motor. If no voltage, suspect the control board or wiring.
