Electrolux EI23BC82SS 22.7 cu ft Counter-Depth French Door Refrigerator Stainless Steel SY CF Error Fix: Condenser Fan Motor Error

The condenser fan motor is not running. The condenser fan is located at the bottom-rear of the refrigerator and cools the condenser coils and compressor. Without condenser cooling, the compressor will overheat and the refrigerator will not cool efficiently. Check for debris around the condenser fan — pet hair, dust, and lint can accumulate and block the fan. Verify the fan motor connector is secure. Spin the fan blade by hand — it should rotate freely. Test the motor for continuity. Replace the condenser fan motor if defective. Also clean the condenser coils while servicing.
