How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate power before accessing the fan or control board.

  • Inspect tachometer wiring: Locate the low-voltage wires from the fan speed sensor to the control board. Check for damage or loose connectors.
  • Check fan connector: Ensure the multi-pin fan plug is fully seated.
  • Replace fan assembly: If the tachometer signal is missing or unstable and wiring is sound, the fan assembly (including sensor) may need replacement.

When to call a professional: Diagnosis of modulating fan systems and control boards should be done by a trained technician.
