Display shows E7 and the condenser fan may not run, causing warm temperatures and hot cabinet sides.

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before accessing the rear compartment. Beware of sharp metal edges.

Steps:

• Access condenser fan: Remove the lower rear access panel to expose the compressor and condenser fan assembly.
• Inspect fan area: Check for debris, insulation, or packaging material blocking the fan blade. Remove any obstructions.
• Spin test: Try spinning the fan blade by hand. It should move freely without grinding. If it is stiff or seized, the motor is likely bad.
• Check wiring: Ensure the fan motor connector is fully seated and wires are not damaged.
• Power test (advanced): With the unit plugged in and calling for cooling, the fan should receive line voltage. If you are trained and comfortable, you can carefully measure voltage at the motor leads. If voltage is present but the fan does not run, replace the motor. If no voltage is present, suspect the main control board.
• Replace motor: Install a Crosley-compatible condenser fan motor, transfer the fan blade if needed, and reassemble the rear panel.
