Daewoo FRSU20DCB not making ice

[TommyGun1]

My Daewoo FRSU20DCB is not making ice both fridge freezer are cold but not cool enough the top part of the freezer seems to be warm
1. The pipe that supplies water to ice maker is warm.
2. The freezer fan runs but not all the time
Temperatures in use: Fridge 6 (full) Freezer -21

this type of f/f has 12 volt dc fan motor that is prone to going intermittently faulty.the fan might run a short time after say opening and closing the door or post defrost cycle,while for the vast majority of time remaining inoperative. This would cause the top of the freezer section to feel warm stopping the production of ice in the cabinets ice maker.Replacing the evaporator fan will cure this, though stripping the the frzr sctn down is a little tricky,and req’s some patience.

Thanks for the reply folthik
I am also having frost build up on the back of the freezer, a few days ago I cleared ice build up from the freezer evaporator coils using a hair dryer which helped but the frost is now showing on the back panel.

This can also be a symptom of a faulty fan. If the fan is not running the cold air is not circulating, therefore the freezer thinks it’s not cold enough and keeps the compressor running causing frost build up.

Thanks for your reply
The freezer has reached its set temperture and is also started making ice, looks like it’s the fan which sometimes makes rattling grinding sounds.

Hi, I bit long shot as the post is from 2012 but I will give it a try anyway..

​​​​​​​I have the same problem with ice not being made and water never freezes in top compartment but freezes ok in the bottom part of the freezer.
I have removed the evaporator fan but cannot detach the fan blade.. any idea how to detach the fan blade from the motor? Also is there any way how to test if the motor is faulty or not?

​​​​​​​Thanks
