If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Steps:

1. Access fan: Remove shelves and the rear interior panel to expose the evaporator fan.
2. Inspect blades: Check for ice, labels, or debris contacting the blades. Clear any obstruction.
