Condenser fan fault

Pull refrigerator away from wall and remove lower rear panel
Check condenser fan blade for obstructions — pet hair and dust are common
Spin fan blade by hand — it should rotate freely without grinding
Test fan motor continuity with multimeter (expect 5-20 ohms)
Pro Diagnostic Tip
The condenser fan is at the bottom rear. Pull the unit from the wall and check for pet hair and dust buildup blocking the blade before condemning the motor — cleaning often resolves CC.
