I have a Jenn-Air Built in Refrigerator. The freezer fan is making a loud continuous noise whenever it's on. I confirmed it was this fan by running the system tests. Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong with the fan? Also where is it located so that I can take a look at it? Do I need to pull out the whole unit cause if so its a chore.

Thanks,

#9 here is your freezer fan motor:

Its behind your back freezer panel inside your freezer, if you just take out your food and remove that panel, you should see it.

Here is a new one for your model, in case you need to order it(click photo for pricing/ordering information):

Thanks for the diagram.

This is what I found:

An iceberg had formed from dripping water and slowly climbed up the wires and into the path of the fan blades.


I used a heat gun to loosen the frozen wires and removed the ice.

Now it looks like this:


and all is well.

Thanks again.

wow, thats alot of ice, it looks like you have either a water leak in that area, or your defrost drain line is clogged up.

We are having same problem. First noticed due to fan making horrendous noise. Found a bit of ice blocking the fan. Removed the ice, noise came back a couple of months later. Removed ice again, much larger this time and defrosted clear hose leading to drain pan above refrigerator unit. Noise came back in 2 weeks. Not finding evident leak. Currently defrosting entire unit, been shut off since yesterday 2p. Suggestions?

There is a design flaw where the drain in the evaporator tray gets frozen over and the water eventually starts dripping down. Had warranty service try to fix this 3 times by adding some kind of heater to the drain tray or something. Never worked and I eventually got a brand new updated model installed for free . No problems with that one so far.
