CF error code on Café refrigerator; often indicates condenser fan or communication fault related to cooling system.

Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before accessing the rear compartment. The condenser fan area may have sharp metal edges.

• 1. Access the condenser fan: Remove the lower rear access panel to expose the compressor and condenser fan assembly.
• 2. Inspect for obstructions: Check if dust, insulation, or debris is blocking the fan blade. Clear any obstruction carefully.
• 3. Test fan spin: With power off, spin the fan blade by hand. It should rotate freely. If stiff or seized, the motor is likely bad.
• 4. Restore power briefly: Plug the unit back in and observe whether the fan runs when the compressor is operating. If the compressor runs but the fan does not, suspect a failed fan motor or control output.
• 5. Replace fan motor if needed: Disconnect power, remove the fan bracket, unplug the motor, and install a new Café-compatible condenser fan motor.
• 6. If fan and wiring are good: The main control board may not be sending power to the fan and may require replacement by a technician.
