Display shows E8 and the condenser fan at the rear of the refrigerator may not run, causing the compressor to overheat and shut down.

Safety warning: Unplug the IceKing refrigerator before working near the compressor and condenser fan.

Steps:

• 1. Access the condenser fan: Remove the rear lower service panel to expose the compressor, condenser coil, and fan assembly.
• 2. Clean and inspect: Vacuum dust from the condenser coil and fan blades. Check for objects (cables, packaging, insulation) obstructing the fan.
• 3. Spin test: Rotate the fan blades by hand. They should move freely without grinding. If stiff or seized, the motor is likely faulty.
• 4. Electrical test: With the unit unplugged, disconnect the fan connector and measure resistance across the motor terminals. An open circuit indicates a failed motor. Also inspect the harness for damage.
• 5. Replace the fan motor: If defective, install a new IceKing-compatible condenser fan motor. Ensure the fan blade orientation matches the original for correct airflow.
• 6. PCB check: If the fan motor is good but never receives power when the compressor is running, the main PCB may have a failed fan driver and should be replaced by a professional.

Note: Operating the refrigerator with a non-functioning condenser fan can cause compressor damage; do not continue use until the fault is resolved.
