Possible Causes
Intermittent evaporator fan motor, Ice blockage in air return vents, Mispositioned shelves blocking vents, Faulty fan control on main board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before accessing the freezer fan or vents.
Steps:
- Check air vents: Ensure that food packages are not blocking the vents in the freezer and fresh food compartments.
- Inspect for frost: Remove the freezer rear panel and look for heavy frost blocking the evaporator and fan. If present, follow defrost heater troubleshooting steps.
- Test fan operation: With the unit powered and doors closed (or door switch held closed), the evaporator fan should run when the compressor is on. If it runs intermittently or not at all, suspect the fan motor or control.
- Replace fan or board: If the fan motor fails continuity or does not start with proper voltage, replace the evaporator fan motor. If the motor is good but never receives power, the main control board may need replacement.
