Danby refrigerator shows E9 and the evaporator fan may not run or may run at incorrect speed.

Safety: Disconnect power before accessing the evaporator fan or removing interior panels.

Steps to address E9:

• Access the evaporator fan: Remove freezer shelves and the rear interior panel to expose the fan assembly.
• Inspect for obstructions: Check for ice buildup, food packaging, or wiring contacting the fan blades. Clear any obstructions and ensure the fan spins freely by hand.
• Check for ice: If the fan is encased in ice, defrost the area using a hair dryer on low or by unplugging the unit and letting it thaw. Investigate defrost system issues if ice returns quickly.
• Test the fan motor: With the fan disconnected, measure resistance across the motor terminals. An open circuit indicates a failed motor. On DC fan models, verify supply voltage from the control board when the door switch is closed and cooling is requested.
• Inspect wiring: Look for broken wires or loose connectors between the fan and main control board. Repair as needed.
• Replace faulty parts: Install a new OEM Danby evaporator fan motor if defective. If the fan and wiring are good but E9 persists, the main control board may be at fault.
