Viking Freezer Evaporator Fan Motor Failure
The evaporator fan motor circulates cold air from the evaporator coil throughout the freezer compartment. A failed evaporator fan motor results in the freezer temperature rising even though the compressor is running and the evaporator coil is cold. The absence of airflow prevents heat exchange and causes the food storage area to warm.
What Causes the Evaporator Fan Fault Error?
Fan motor bearings wear over time and eventually seize, stopping the fan.
Ice accumulation from partial defrost failure can prevent fan blade rotation.
