Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Unplug the refrigerator before working near the compressor and condenser fan.
Steps:
- Access the condenser fan: Pull the refrigerator away from the wall and remove the lower rear access panel to expose the compressor and condenser fan.
- Clean the area: Use a vacuum and soft brush to remove dust from the condenser coils and fan blades.
- Spin test: With power disconnected, spin the fan blades by hand. They should move freely without noise or binding.
- Inspect wiring: Check the fan motor connector and harness for damage or loose connections.
- Voltage test (advanced): With the unit powered and compressor running, carefully check for proper voltage at the fan connector. If voltage is present but the fan does not run, the motor is defective.
- Replace fan motor: Remove mounting screws, disconnect the harness, and install a new Midea condenser fan motor. Ensure the fan is oriented correctly to blow air through the condenser.
- Test: Restore power and verify that the fan runs whenever the compressor is on and that the E9 code clears.
