Display shows E6; condenser fan may not run, and the refrigerator may run hot or not cool properly.

Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before working in the compressor compartment.

Steps:

• Access condenser fan: Remove the lower rear access panel to expose the compressor and condenser fan assembly.
• Visual check: Inspect the fan blade for debris, insulation, or wiring obstructing rotation. Clear any obstructions.
• Spin test: Try spinning the fan blade by hand (with power off). It should turn freely. Stiff or seized movement indicates a bad motor.
• Voltage test: With power restored and the unit calling for cooling, carefully measure voltage at the fan motor connector (use insulated probes). If proper voltage is present but the fan does not run, the motor is faulty.
• Check wiring: Inspect the harness from the control board to the fan for damage or loose connectors.

Corrective action: Replace the condenser fan motor assembly if it fails to run with proper voltage or is mechanically seized. Ensure the new motor is mounted securely and the blade spins freely before reassembling the rear cover.
