Possible Causes
Failed condenser fan motor, Obstruction in fan blades, Loose or broken fan wiring, Faulty fan output on main PCB
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the wine cooler before working at the rear.
Steps:
- Access fan: Remove the rear lower panel to expose the condenser fan near the compressor.
- Check for obstructions: Remove any debris or wires blocking the fan blades.
- Test motor: Spin the blades by hand; they should move freely. Measure motor resistance; an open circuit indicates failure.
- Check wiring: Ensure the fan connector is secure and wires are intact.
- Replace fan motor: Install a new Fagor condenser fan motor if defective.
- Main board: If the motor is good but never receives power when the compressor runs, the main PCB may be faulty and require replacement.
