Possible Causes
Failed condenser fan motor, Obstructed fan blades by dust or debris, Faulty fan wiring, Defective PCB fan driver
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before accessing the rear compartment.
E13 indicates an issue with the condenser fan that cools the condenser coil and compressor.
- Access fan: Remove the rear lower cover to expose the condenser coil and fan assembly.
- Clean area: Vacuum dust from the condenser and fan blades. Ensure nothing is blocking rotation.
- Spin test: Rotate the fan by hand; it should move freely.
- Electrical test: With power disconnected, measure motor resistance. An open circuit suggests a failed motor.
- Replace fan motor: Install a new Candy condenser fan motor if defective, ensuring correct wiring and secure mounting.
- PCB check: If the fan is good but never receives power when the compressor runs, the PCB output may be faulty and require replacement.
