How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug before opening internal panels.

Step-by-step checks:

1. Identify noise source: Open the freezer door; if the noise changes when the door is opened or the door switch is pressed, the evaporator fan is likely the source.
2. Access fan: Remove freezer drawers and rear panel to expose the fan assembly.
3. Inspect and clean: Remove ice around the fan, ensure the blade is not cracked or rubbing. Tighten mounting screws.
4. Replace motor: If the motor is still noisy when spun by hand or during operation, replace the evaporator fan motor with an Indesit-compatible unit.

When to call a technician: If noise persists after fan replacement, further investigation of the sealed system may be needed.
