Fan (F-FAN, R-FAN, C-FAN) not operating - Cooling fan malfunction

What does FAN not operating mean?

If the freezer, Refrigerator, or compressor fans are not operating, it can indicate issues with the fan motor itself, wiring, or a locked motor. The system attempts to restart the fan if rotation pulses are not detected, repeating up to 4 times.

• Faulty FAN-MOTOR itself.
• Bad contact of wiring connection.
• Foreign matters (like ice) locking the motor.
• Issue with door switch connection.
• Main PCB malfunction.

1. 1

   Perform a self-diagnostic function to check for specific fan errors (e.g., F FAN ERROR, C FAN ERROR).

2. 2

   Power OFF the Refrigerator, wait 5 minutes, then power ON again to attempt a reset.

3. 3

   Check door operation; if the door switch is faulty, the fan might not operate.

4. 4

   Visually inspect wiring connections for the fan motors for bad contact.

5. 5

   If accessible, check for foreign objects (like ice) obstructing the fan blades.
