F10 error displayed, condenser fan (if fitted) not running, compressor may overheat, poor cooling especially in hot rooms.

Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before accessing the rear compartment.

Step-by-step checks:

• 1. Locate condenser fan: At the rear near the compressor and condenser coil, identify the fan assembly.
• 2. Check for obstructions: Remove dust, debris, or packaging materials that may block the fan. Spin the blades by hand; they should move freely.
• 3. Test fan operation: With power restored (only if you are competent and safe), observe whether the fan runs when the compressor is on. If not, unplug again and proceed.
• 4. Electrical test: With the appliance unplugged, disconnect the fan and measure resistance across the motor. An open circuit indicates a failed motor.
• 5. Replace fan motor: Install a new Indesit-compatible condenser fan motor, transferring any brackets or shrouds. Ensure correct rotation direction and secure mounting.

When to call a technician: If the fan is good but never receives voltage when the compressor runs, the main PCB or wiring may be faulty and require professional diagnosis.
