Display shows FFS; fresh food section may be too warm or too cold; fan may not run.

Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before removing fresh food interior panels or working near fans.

Step 1 – Check airflow in fresh food section:

• Place your hand near the rear vents in the refrigerator compartment.
• Weak or no airflow suggests a fan or ice blockage issue.

Step 2 – Access fresh food evaporator and fan:

• Remove shelves and the rear panel in the fresh food section.
• Inspect the evaporator coil and fan for heavy frost or ice.
• If iced over, perform a manual defrost and then test the defrost system as described in defrost fault entries.

Step 3 – Test fan motor:

• With the unit unplugged, spin the fan blade by hand; it should move freely.
• Test the fan motor for continuity with a multimeter.
• Replace the fresh food evaporator fan motor if open or seized.

Step 4 – Check thermistor and control:

• Test the fresh food thermistor resistance and replace if out of spec.
• If fan and thermistor are good, the main control board may not be powering the fan correctly and may require replacement.

When to call a technician: For persistent FFS codes or if you suspect a control board issue, contact a GE Monogram technician.
