How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before accessing the ice room or fan.
- Access ice room: Remove the ice bucket and any covers to expose the ice room fan (on models with a separate ice compartment).
- Check for ice obstruction: Look for ice buildup around the fan blades. Defrost carefully with a hair dryer on low.
- Test fan: With power briefly restored and doors closed (or door switch held), listen for the fan. If it does not run, replace the ice room fan motor.
- Inspect wiring: Check the harness from the fan to the main board, especially through the door hinge area, for damage.
