How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before opening.
- Check for obstructions: Inspect the air outlet and internal fan for dust buildup or foreign objects. Remove any blockage.
- Spin fan: Gently rotate the fan blades by hand. If stiff or noisy, the motor may be failing.
- Check wiring: Ensure the fan motor connector is firmly attached to the PCB.
If F5 persists and the fan does not run, the fan motor assembly likely needs replacement. This is a low-voltage component but requires disassembly of the housing; follow a service guide or consult a technician.
