FREEZER
FAN
Top Mount
Models
The
lreezer
fan circulates
cooled
air
throughout
the fresh
food and
freezer
compartment.
The fan blade
is made
of
polyethylene
and
is
pushed
onto
the
shaft.
It is important
when replacing
the fan
blade
that
the hub of
the fan blade
face
the
front of the
cabinet.
lf the
fan fails or
operates
erratically,
the
reduced air
circulation
will
result
in
poor
cooling
characteristics.
