Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit. Fan blades can be sharp.
Steps:
- Visual check: Look through the grille to see if the fan is trying to move. Spin the fan blade gently by hand (unit unplugged). It should rotate freely without grinding.
- Obstruction removal: Remove front/rear cover to access the blower wheel. Clear any debris, plastic, or insulation blocking movement.
- Wiring and capacitor: Inspect the fan motor wires and any small capacitor connected to the fan. Replace a bulged or leaking fan capacitor.
- Motor replacement: If the fan receives power but does not run or is noisy and slow, replace the fan motor assembly specific to your Tosot model.
