How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before accessing the interior fan.
- Access evaporator fan: Remove shelves and the interior rear panel to expose the fan.
- Inspect for ice: Look for ice buildup around the fan and evaporator. If present, fully defrost the unit and check defrost system operation.
- Check fan clearance: Spin the fan by hand and ensure it does not contact the shroud or wiring. Adjust the shroud or reposition wires as needed.
- Replace fan motor: If the fan squeals even when free of ice and obstructions, the motor bearings are likely worn. Replace the evaporator fan motor with the correct Monogram part.
After replacement, verify quiet operation and proper airflow.
