Defect of BLDC fan motor for machine room (condenser fan)

Moderate

Address soon - your appliance may not work properly

Also displayed as: E CF

How to Fix

  1. 1

    Power cycle the unit and enter Test Mode 1 (press TEST button once on Main PCB).

  2. 2

    Check if condenser fan is rotating. If fan does not rotate, go to step 3.

  3. 3

    Manually rotate the condenser fan blade by hand. If sticky or seized, replace the condenser fan motor.

  4. 4

    Measure motor supply voltage at CON4 24th Pin to 23rd Pin in Test Mode 1; expected 11.4 to 12.6V.

  5. 5

    If motor supply voltage is absent, replace the Main PCB.

  6. 6

    If supply voltage is correct, measure feedback voltage at CON4 22nd Pin to 23rd Pin; expected active signal (not fixed 0 or 5V).

  7. 7

    If feedback voltage is fixed at 0V or 5V, replace the condenser fan motor.

  8. 8

    If feedback is correct, measure PWM voltage at CON4 21st Pin to 23rd Pin; expected not fixed 0 or 5V.

  9. 9

    If PWM is fixed 0V or 5V, replace the Main PCB.

  10. 10

    If all voltages are correct, explain normal operation to customer.
