How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before working near the fan.

  • Access fan: Remove interior shelves and the rear interior panel to expose the evaporator fan assembly.
  • Check for obstructions: Spin the fan blade by hand. Remove any ice, labels, or wiring that may be blocking it.
  • Inspect wiring: Ensure the fan motor connector is fully seated and wires are not damaged.
  • Test fan: With the unit unplugged, measure resistance across the fan motor leads. An open circuit indicates a failed motor.
  • Replace fan motor: If defective, install a new Della Marta evaporator fan motor assembly. Transfer the fan blade if necessary and secure the motor with original screws.
