Quick answer
Fresh-food fan cannot reach target speed.
Model compatibility: GE reuses codes across series and model years, so 0108 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
Fresh-food fan cannot reach target speed.
Signs
Symptoms you may notice
Temperature performance can worsen if airflow is lost.
The code may appear when the control commands the fan and does not see expected feedback.
The fan may surge, stop, or make unusual noise.
Airflow may be weak or absent.
Why it happens
Possible causes
A fan motor that cannot start or maintain target speed.
A damaged fan feedback wire or connector.
Frost, debris, or a shifted part interfering with fan movement or airflow.
A blocked air path that changes the fan load.
A control output/feedback-circuit problem.
Before you call
Safe checks you can make
These are simple, non-hazardous checks only. If anything is unclear, stop and contact a technician.
Listen for scraping, repeated starts, or a fan that never starts after the appliance is safely restarted.
Do not chip ice away from hidden fan assemblies with tools; forced defrosting can damage liners, wiring, or refrigerant tubing.
Make sure user-accessible air vents are not blocked by food, lint, or stored items.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
