How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the appliance before working at the rear.
Steps:
- Access condenser fan: Remove the lower rear cover to expose the condenser coil and fan.
- Clean area: Vacuum dust from the condenser and fan. Remove any debris caught in the blades.
- Spin test: Rotate the fan by hand. If stiff or grinding, the motor bearings may be worn and the motor should be replaced.
- Check wiring: Inspect the fan connector and harness for damage or loose connections.
- Replace fan: Install a new Zanussi-compatible condenser fan motor if faulty, ensuring correct airflow direction.
Note: A non-working condenser fan can cause poor cooling and compressor overheating; do not operate the fridge for long with this fault.
