Possible Causes

Failed freezer evaporator fan motor, Ice buildup around fan shroud, Broken fan blades, Loose or damaged fan wiring harness

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before accessing the freezer fan.

  • Access fan: Remove freezer drawers and the rear interior panel to expose the evaporator and fan assembly.
  • Check for ice: Look for ice buildup around the fan housing. Defrost with a hair dryer on low if necessary, avoiding direct heat on plastic for long periods.
  • Inspect fan: Ensure the blades are intact and can spin freely by hand. If they wobble or are broken, replace the fan assembly.
  • Test motor: Disconnect the fan and measure resistance. An open or shorted reading indicates a bad motor.
  • Check wiring: Inspect the harness from the fan to the main PCB for pinched or broken wires. Repair as needed.
  • Replace fan: Install a new LG freezer evaporator fan motor, reassemble panels, and restore power.
