How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before removing the ice bucket or inner covers.
- 1. Remove ice bucket: Take out the ice bin and check for clumped ice or frost blocking the fan vents.
- 2. Defrost ice room: Allow the door to remain open with power off until ice melts, or use gentle warm air to speed defrosting.
- 3. Inspect fan: Access the ice room fan (behind a small panel). Check that the blade spins freely and that the connector is secure.
- 4. Restore power and test: After reassembly, restore power and listen for the fan when the ice maker is calling for cooling. If silent, the fan motor may need replacement.
- 5. If fan and wiring are good: The main control board may not be powering the fan and should be evaluated by a technician.
