GE fridge freezer ice maker the condenser fan turns very slowly with very little power, the compressor is very hot, even when the freezer is set at full freeze will only go down to -6 and the casing of fridge freezer is quite hot, can I wire a external fan to make the thing work ? is it a control board failure that causes the fan to run slow ? the service guy says blockage in the system is causing the fan to run slow and wants me to buy a new fridge ? what happens if i leave an external fan running permanently please Help. Bill in UK

Check the voltage the fan is getting. If it's OK replace the fan. You can put a box fan blowing on it to get by till you get it fixed.

Thanks - yes I`ve now removed the condenser fan blade and fitted a bathroom fan module over the fan apeture and tempreture is dropping quickly, proving the refrigent system and compressor are ok and that the service guy was talking thro his A---

Just wonder what would be the long term consiquence of leaving the external fan on permanently ? or maybe wired in parrallel across the compressor main feed ? will the defrost system still work OK . since no one over here seems able or willing to ID or supply a circuit board or module to control the condenser fan
Kind Regards Bill
