Safety: Disconnect mains power before removing rear panels.

Access condenser fan: Remove the rear lower service panel to expose the condenser coil and fan assembly.
Clean area: Vacuum dust and debris from the condenser coil and fan guard. Ensure nothing is physically blocking the blades.
Check fan movement: Spin the blades by hand. If stiff or seized, the motor is likely defective and should be replaced.
Test motor: Disconnect the fan wiring and measure resistance across the motor terminals. An open circuit indicates failure.
Inspect capacitor (if present): Some Zanussi models use a small capacitor for the fan. If the fan hums but will not start, the capacitor may be faulty and should be replaced with the same µF rating.
Replace fan: Remove mounting screws, swap in the new condenser fan motor, transfer the fan blade if separate, and reconnect wiring.
Reassemble and test: Refit the panel, restore power, and confirm the fan runs with the compressor and that E08 clears.

E08 displayed, condenser fan not running, cabinet very hot at the back, ice production very slow or stopped.
