Possible Causes

Faulty indoor DC fan motor, Blocked or jammed indoor blower wheel, Faulty indoor PCB fan driver circuit, Loose fan motor connector

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before removing the indoor unit cover. The fan motor is powered by high voltage DC on inverter models.

  • Step 1 – Check for physical obstruction:
    • Open the front panel and remove filters.
    • Look inside for plastic bags, insulation, or foreign objects blocking the blower wheel.
    • Rotate the blower wheel gently by hand; it should spin freely without scraping.
  • Step 2 – Inspect fan motor wiring:
    • Remove the right-side control cover.
    • Locate the multi-pin connector from the fan motor to the PCB.
    • Ensure it is fully seated and not burnt or corroded.
  • Step 3 – Test operation:
    • Restore power and select FAN mode.
    • If the fan does not start or starts then stops with E6, the motor or PCB driver is likely faulty.
  • Step 4 – Replace fan motor if needed:
    • Remove the front panel and lower casing as per Hisense service instructions.
    • Slide out the blower wheel and remove the fan motor bracket.
    • Install the new Hisense-compatible indoor DC fan motor and reassemble.
  • Note: If a new motor does not resolve the issue, the indoor PCB must be replaced by a technician.
