How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug the refrigerator before removing the freezer rear panel.

Steps:

Access evaporator fan: Remove freezer drawers and the rear panel to expose the evaporator and fan assembly.
Check for ice obstruction: If the fan blades are encased in ice, defrost the area with a hair dryer on low, moving constantly.
Spin test: Ensure the fan blade spins freely by hand. If stiff or seized, replace the fan motor.
Test motor resistance: Disconnect the fan and measure resistance across the motor leads. An open circuit indicates failure.
Inspect wiring: Verify the harness is intact and firmly connected to the motor and main control.
If the motor and wiring are good but the fan does not receive power when the compressor runs, replace the main control board.
