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.
