Common Symptoms
- Freezer not freezing properly
- Fresh-food compartment warm while the freezer remains cold, or the reverse
- Little or no airflow from the refrigerator vents
- Unusual fan noise such as grinding or squealing
- Frost or ice buildup around the evaporator area
- Refrigerator runs continuously while cooling performance declines
Check Before Replacing
- With the refrigerator operating, listen for a steady evaporator-fan sound when the compressor is running.
- If the design permits, press and hold the freezer door switch while observing or listening for fan operation; do not bypass or defeat the switch permanently.
- With power disconnected, check whether the fan blade turns freely by hand and inspect for visible frost, ice, or a broken blade.
- If qualified to perform electrical testing, disconnect power and check the motor windings for continuity with a multimeter; lack of continuity indicates the motor circuit is open, but other refrigerator faults can produce similar symptoms.
Pro Tip
Before removing the evaporator cover, compare compressor operation with fan operation. A running compressor with no fan sound or airflow suggests checking the fan circuit, but heavy frost can also block the fan and indicate a defrost-system problem.
