How to Test the Fridge Fan on a Samsung Refrigerator

In this video I show you how to remove and test the fan inside the refrigerator compartment on your Samsung Refrigerator.

If you have a fridge that is not getting cold, the fan could be the issue. This video will help you determine if the fan is bad and needs replaced or if the control board is the issue.

The refrigerator used here is a Samsung Bottom Freezer. This test will apply to Top Freezer Samsung Refrigerators as well.

The fridge compartment on this machine has it's own evaporator and fan to move air around, that is separate from the freezer section.

The resistance on the fan motor was about 160 Ohms. When I applied 120 volts AC to the motor the fan started spinning. This tells me the fan is good. If you applied the voltage to the fan and it did not spin, then the fan motor would be defective and need replaced.

If your fan was not working and it tested good, then the control board is defective and it would need replaced. There are relays on the control board that control all the functions of the refrigerator.
