Possible Causes

Failed combustion fan motor on Certikin heater, Stuck or burnt fan relay on PCB, Seized fan bearings, Broken fan wiring harness

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate power before working near the fan or control board.

  • Check fan spins freely: With power off, gently rotate the fan impeller by hand. It should move smoothly without grinding.
  • Inspect wiring: Look for loose or burnt connectors at the fan motor and on the PCB.
  • Listen on start-up: Restore power and call for heat while listening for any attempt by the fan to start (humming or brief movement).
  • Do not force operation: If the fan does not run, do not bypass safety circuits.

Fan motor and relay testing requires electrical measurements and should be carried out by a qualified technician.
