How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before inspection.
- Check for obstructions: Remove the tank and inspect for objects blocking the fan.
- Listen for motor: When powered on (briefly), listen for any humming from the fan area. Then unplug again.
- Spin test: With power off, gently try to spin the fan. If it is stiff, the motor is likely seized and must be replaced.
- Internal connector: If accessible, verify the fan connector is firmly attached to the PCB.
- Repair: Replace the fan motor assembly if defective. If the motor tests good, the control PCB may be at fault.
