Possible Causes
Burned-out fan motor, Obstructed fan blades, Disconnected fan wiring, Failed fan driver circuit on control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the humidifier before opening the housing.
- 1. Listen for fan:
- Power on the unit and listen closely; silence from the fan area suggests a non-running fan.
- 2. Inspect fan:
- Remove the cover to access the fan.
- Check for obstructions or broken blades.
- 3. Spin test:
- Spin the fan by hand; if stiff or seized, the motor is likely failed.
- 4. Check wiring:
- Ensure the fan connector is firmly attached to the control PCB.
- 5. Replace fan motor:
- If the motor is seized or open-circuit, replace it with a compatible Crane fan motor assembly.
