WARNING

To avoid risk electrical shock, personal injury, or death, always disconnect electrical power source to the freezer before attempting to service, unless test procedures require power to be connected. When removing any wiring from terminals they must be replaced on the same terminals.

Ensure all ground wires are connected before certifying unit as repaired and/or operational.

Freezer Fan No-Defrosting Models

Freezer fan is designed and located in the cabinet to create movement of uniform low temperature air throughout freezer interior. It is wired to run simultaneously with the compressor.

If fan fails to operate, or runs erratically, reduced air circulation will cause unsatisfactory temperatures throughout the freezer.

Freezer fan is located above freezer coil and is mounted inside an opening in the freezer liner back.

Testing Freezer Fan Motor

Remove screws from coil cover and disconnect ground wire from cover. Remove freezer coil cover.

Before checking fan circuit for failures, spin the fan blade to verify nothing has lodged against it which could prevent normal fan operation. If blade spins freely, check fan motor as follows:

1. Unplug line cord.

2. Attach test cord leads to fan motor leads. If motor runs, check all cabinet wiring for an open circuit. If motor fails to operate, remove and replace.
