Trotec Fan Failure Causing Overheating

Dehumidifier fan does not run, but compressor becomes very hot and unit shuts down.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Failed fan motor, Blocked fan wheel, Faulty fan capacitor (on AC motors), Fan connector unplugged

Safety: Unplug the unit. The compressor and pipes may be hot.

Steps:

Inspect fan: Remove covers and check if the fan wheel is obstructed or seized.
Check wiring: Ensure the fan motor connector is properly attached to the PCB.
Test capacitor: If your model uses a separate fan capacitor, test and replace it if defective.
Replace fan motor: If the motor does not run when powered, replace the fan motor assembly.
Do not run without fan: Never operate the dehumidifier with a non-functioning fan, as this can damage the compressor.
