Component test · RefrigeratorMany modern refrigerator fans are brushless DC motors with their electronics inside the motor. An ohmmeter cannot judge them reliably. The safe test is to confirm the supply voltage and control/feedback signals at the connector, then swap the motor if the signals are right.
Component test · RefrigeratorThe damper opens and closes the cold-air path from the freezer to the fresh-food section. Older ones are mechanical (bellows), newer ones use a small motor driven by the board. Ice in the duct is a frequent cause.
