Possible Causes
Blocked air vents causing heat buildup, Failing fan motor drawing excess current, Faulty power supply components overheating, Dust accumulation on internal heat sinks
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: If the base is too hot to touch comfortably, unplug the unit immediately.
- 1. Clean vents thoroughly: Use a vacuum with a brush attachment to clean all intake and exhaust vents.
- 2. Check ambient temperature: Ensure the unit is not placed near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
- 3. Monitor after cleaning: Run the unit and periodically check the base temperature. It is normal for it to be slightly warm, but not hot.
- 4. Stop if overheating persists: Continued excessive heating indicates an internal fault (fan, power supply, or PCB) and the unit should be serviced before further use.
