Possible Causes
Seized fan motor bearings, Obstruction in fan blades, Open fan motor winding, Failed fan driver on PCB
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug and allow the unit to cool. The fan area may be hot.
- Step 1 – Listen for hum: Start a cycle briefly and listen. A hum without rotation suggests a stuck motor.
- Step 2 – Inspect blades: Access the fan and remove any debris or warped plastic obstructing movement. Ensure blades spin freely by hand.
- Step 3 – Motor test: Disconnect the fan motor and measure resistance across its terminals. Replace the motor if open or shorted.
- Step 4 – Driver circuit: If the motor is good but never receives voltage, the fan driver on the main PCB is likely faulty and the board should be replaced.
