How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Disconnect power before accessing the interior fan.

  • Access fan: Remove the interior rear panel to expose the evaporator fan.
  • Check for ice: If ice is contacting the blades, fully defrost the unit and address any defrost or gasket issues.
  • Inspect fan alignment: Ensure the fan blade is centered in the shroud and not rubbing. Adjust if needed.
  • Replace motor: If the squeal persists and the motor feels rough when spun by hand, replace the Luma evaporator fan motor.
