In No-Frost refrigerators, the fan moves cold air between compartments. If the fan stops, the compressor may still run, but one section can cool much worse than the other.
Because this fault can look like a drain, frost, or sensor problem, diagnosis by a refrigerator technician is important.
The common symptom is a warm fresh-food section while the freezer still seems relatively cold. You may not hear the usual fan sound, and food cools unevenly on different shelves.
If the fan is blocked by ice rather than fully failed, the problem can be intermittent. Noise may change, frost may appear behind the rear panel, and cooling weakens again after a short time.
The fan motor can fail, but it is not the only cause. Ice around the evaporator can stop the blades from turning freely and reduce airflow through the cabinet.
Door sensor errors, wiring contact issues, and control-board power supply problems can lead to the same symptom. Replacing the fan without checking the system may not solve it.
You can observe which section is warm, whether frost is visible on the rear panel, and whether the fan sound changes when the door switch is pressed. Full defrosting may help temporarily but does not fix the root cause.
Do not remove the rear panel, touch the fan blade, or test wiring yourself. 166 Usta can inspect the fan and No-Frost system safely.
Call a technician if the fridge section stays warm, fan noise disappears, rubbing noise appears, or frost builds up behind the freezer panel. Delaying the repair can spoil food and increase compressor load.
Professional diagnosis checks the fan motor, defrost system, sensors, door signal, and board output together to identify whether the cause is motor, ice, or control power.
Do not overfill the fridge, do not block air channels with containers, and avoid leaving the door open for long periods. Weak airflow increases fan load and frost risk.

Not always. The compressor may run, but airflow becomes uneven.
Some models stop the fan when the door is open, but weak cooling with no fan sound needs checking.
It is not recommended because panels, sensors, and wiring can be damaged.
