In No Frost systems, the fan distributes cold air. If it stops, the freezer barely cools and the fridge stays warm.
Possible causes
- Ice blocking the fan blade
- Failed fan motor
- No supply from the control board
- Dirty rear condenser fan
Safe first checks you can do
Safety: unplug the appliance and close the water tap before any check, and never open the outer casing or electronic boards yourself.
- Open the freezer, press the door switch if present and listen for the fan
- Clear dust at the back
