How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before accessing the fan.

Steps:

Obstruction check: Remove the filter and inspect the fan for obstructions. Remove any debris.
Spin test: Try spinning the fan by hand. If stiff, the motor bearings may be seized and the motor should be replaced.
Electrical test: With a multimeter and the unit unplugged, check continuity of the fan motor windings. Open circuit indicates a failed motor.
Capacitor (if present): Some models use a start/run capacitor for the fan. Inspect for bulging or leakage and replace with the same µF rating if faulty.
Replace motor: Install a Cecotec-compatible fan motor assembly if the original is defective.

Dehumidifier powers on but fan does not run, compressor may start briefly then stop
