Freezer interior fan doesnt work - Refrigerators

clear the air way for circulation

What is the model number and is the compressor kicking on?

I would replace the defrost termination thermostat. They were a frequent failure item on
Frigidaire units I service, causing this condition. Around 8 to 20 dollars depending on
vendor. Also check the defrost timer as I have found at least one that was stuck due to
mis assembly. (the replacements are from a different vendor). Hope this helps.

open the freezer and at the back is a fan with a cover check the fan operation and housing if fan iced over or ice or debris blocking [food bag ]clear and check operation if fan doesnt work at all check power if power good replace fan if fan good check in fridge side for operation of flapper where air from freezer enters may be stuck or blocked air from freezer controls ur fridge side --if freezer side works than one of above problems which are the most common should get u back on line

If the fans not working, replace the fan. You could have a defrost problem that causes evaporator boils to freeze over and may be obstructing fan blades. Check door seals also that they are sealing properly.

It appears you need to get the cold distributed from the freezer section to the frig section. This can only be accomplished by a fan that forces the cold air throught openings between both sections. Since the freezer in at the bottom, cold air cannot go upward, thereforethe fan. Chech that the interior fan (in the freezer section) is running. Check that the air openings between the sections are not blocked. Finally, if all looks good, then maybe the compressor system is slowly failing and only making enough cold for the freezer, but not enough to be circulated. Goodluck, Macgivor

fan speed resistor block blown if fan works only on full speed (because power goes directly to fan on full speed, not through resistor)
if fan doesnt work on full speed check for power at fan on full speed with test light if power there fan faulty
no power check switch bank assembly

Check for a frost buildup on the interior back wall of the freezer. If you find this, a problem exists in the defrost circuit (heater, terminator or control).

Also verify that the evaporator (freezer) fan is functioning.

A failed damper control can cause this condition as well.

Proper product temps are 0 to 10 in the freezer and 36 to 42 in the fresh food compartment.

I had this problem, Motor is gone. The drep motor is a pile of ****. Go to ebay or buy a replacement direct from korea, The 12v doesnt appear on the cct as the fan doesnt operate unless the door is shut. Hope this helps anyone who google this

IF THERE IS FROST ON THE BACK WALL OF THE FREEZER
INTERIOR, THERE IS A DEFROST FAILURE. EITHER THE
TIMER, HEATER, OR BI-METAL HAS FAILED. IF IT IS THE TIMER, YOU CAN LOCATE IT AND MANUALLY ADVANCE IT WITH THE SMALL KNOB ON ITS FACE. AS YOU ADVANCE IT, YOU WILL HEAR IT CLICK LOUD AND THE COMPRESSOR
WILL STOP RUNNING. WAIT ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND LISTEN IN THE FREEZER FOR SIZZLING OR POPPING. THIS IS A NORMAL NOISE WHEN THE HEATER IS MELTING OFF THE FROST. REPLACE THE TIMER.
IF THERE ISN'T FROST, THE FAN MOTOR OR DOOR SWITCH
HAS FAILED. YOU WOULD NEED TO REMOVE THE BACK
PANEL FROM THE INSIDE OF THE FREEZER TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE FAN MOTOR TO TEST IT. IF VOLTAGE IS PRESENT AT THE TERMINALS OF THE MOTOR, THE MOTOR IS BAD. IF NO VOLTAGE(120VOLTS AC), CHECK DOOR SWITCH.
