If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before removing freezer panels.
Steps to resolve:
- Listen for fan: With the freezer door open, press the door switch and listen for the fan. If noisy or intermittent, suspect the motor.
- Check for ice: Remove the rear freezer panel and inspect for ice buildup around the fan. Defrost fully if necessary.
- Inspect harness: Ensure the fan connector is tight and wires are not damaged.
If E13 continues after clearing ice and checking connections, the evaporator fan motor or main control board may need replacement. A technician can verify by measuring fan voltage and feedback signals.
