Why has the fan ceased to work? - Igloo Cooler Igloo Portable Countertop Ice Maker

Had same problem on my fridge a long time ago. Here is what was wrong on mine. Debris had clogged up around the fan blades to the point where the very small motor that runs the fan was not powerful enough to make the fan turn. When this happens the compressor has to work harder and harder until it finally shut down on safety cutout. I had to open the back of the fridge and clean up the fan blades, [ took the opportunity to put a small amount of oil on the fan shaft too, my Norge fridge is now over 50 years old.]

It sounds like the fan will need to be replaced.

"Always disconnect power before trying to repair any appliance."

Give the evaporator a chance to get cold, then check you've got power to the fan, via the evaporator thermistor and door switch

please check if fan is working
if the fan doesnt work there maybe a frost problem
if the fan works its most certanly the defrost timer that doesnt work

If compressor and all fans not working and unit has power.Check defrost timer maybe bad or sticks turn defrost timer knob if unit starts timer is bad.Timer only turns in one direction.

the freezing is and temp are caused by the fans not working. One fan pulls warm air out of the box and across the evaporator coil, which in your case is frozen, and the other fan is used to pull air over the condensing coil which rejects the heat pulled out of the box. check the wiring diagram for a fan relay first, which can easily be changed out, or by some crazy chance, both fans quite working at the same time

it may be repairable. setting the freezer aside for a moment, check to see if the fans come on when you first plug it in. make sure the vents dont have food debris in front of them. If the fans do not come on, you may be able to simply replace the fan or fans that pull warm air and blow cool air into the fridge. they get there cooling from the same coils and the freezer is working, so must be fans or fan relay

Either the unit is low or out of freon or the fan that cools the condenser has stopped working. If you can improvise a fan to blow on the condenser, yould should be able to tell if that is the problem within a few hours. If you can locate the fan and it is not working then you have found the problem.

Confused: You may well have a defrost issue but your description makes no sense.

I would unplug your unit so that you can replace the fan. It sounds like the bearings have gone out on your fan. This is somthing that you can do yourself. If you do not feel comfortable, you can pay a technician about $200 to do this for you. If you decide to do it yourself, remove the fan and bring it to your local supplier. He can sell you a replacement.
