E8 appears and the fan inside the fridge or freezer does not run, causing uneven temperatures.

Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before accessing the fan area. Beware of sharp metal edges.

Steps to address E8:

• 1. Listen for fan operation: After closing the door switch (press it by hand) and with the unit powered, you should normally hear the fan run when the compressor is on. If silent, proceed.
• 2. Check for ice obstruction: Remove drawers and the rear inner panel of the affected compartment. Look for ice buildup around the fan housing. If present, fully defrost the unit for 24 hours.
• 3. Inspect fan blades: Ensure the blades spin freely by hand and are not rubbing on plastic or ice.
• 4. Check wiring: With power off, inspect the fan motor connector and wiring harness for damage or loose plugs.
• 5. Test the fan motor: Using a multimeter, measure resistance across the fan motor terminals. An open circuit indicates a failed motor. Some DC fans may require voltage testing while running, which should be done by a professional.
• 6. Replace the fan motor if faulty: Fit a new Belling-compatible evaporator fan motor, reusing the original fan blade if separate. Ensure correct orientation and secure mounting.
• 7. Control board check: If the fan motor is good but never receives power, the control board or fan driver circuit may be defective and require professional service.
