Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before accessing the rear compartment.
- Inspect condenser fan: Remove the rear lower panel and check if the fan spins freely by hand.
- Clean condenser area: Vacuum dust from the condenser coils and fan area.
- Test fan operation: Restore power briefly and observe if the fan runs when the compressor is on, then unplug again.
If the fan does not run and the CF code persists, replace the condenser fan motor. If the fan runs normally, the main control board may be misreading feedback and require replacement.
