FREEZER
FAN
Side-By-Side
Models
lf the
treezer
fan fails
to
operate,
or runs
erratically, the
reduced
air circulation
will
cause
unsatisfactory
temperatures
throughout
both food
compartments.
lf the
fan runs,
but erratically,
you
may
notice
that
the
compressor
run time
increases
as
the
fan RPM
decreases.
The freezer
fan is
designed
to draw
air up
f rom
the
bottom
of the treezer
compartment;
pull
it through
the
coil area
and
blow it
out at the
top against
a
dispersing
shield,
thus
creating
a
pressure
chamber
behind the
shield, From
here the
air is
dispersed
in three
directions.
The fan
is wired
to run
simultaneously
with
the
compressor.

checking
the fan
circuit for
defects,

the
dispersing
shield and

fan
operation.
lf the
blade
spins freely,
check
the
fan motor.

motor
