Bosch B11CB81SSS 24 in 800 Series Counter Depth Bottom Freezer E7 Error Fix: Condenser Fan Motor Failure

The condenser fan motor is not running. The condenser fan dissipates heat from the condenser coils (on models with rear or bottom-mounted condenser coils). Check the fan motor for continuity. Clean the condenser coils of dust and pet hair — dirty coils reduce efficiency even when the fan works. Verify wiring to the fan motor. Without condenser cooling, the compressor will overheat and cycle on the overload protector, leading to warm temperatures.
