How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before accessing fans or control boards.
Steps:
- Observe behavior: Note whether the fan runs with the door open or closed and whether it ever stops.
- Check door switch: A faulty switch may cause the fan to run or stop at the wrong times. Test and replace if needed.
- Test fan motor: Access the evaporator fan and measure resistance. Replace the motor if open or seized.
- Inspect wiring: Look for signs of a short that could be feeding constant power to the fan.
- Main PCB: If wiring and motor are good but control is incorrect, replace the main control board.
