Possible Causes
Failed circulation fan motor, Disconnected fan wiring, Obstruction preventing fan rotation, Faulty fan driver on main PCB
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug and allow the unit to cool before opening. A non-running fan with active heater is a fire risk; do not continue using the appliance until fixed.
Steps to diagnose:
- Confirm symptom: Start a short cycle and listen. If you hear no fan noise but feel heat, stop the cycle and unplug.
- Access fan: Remove the rear or top cover to reach the fan assembly.
- Check for obstructions: Remove any debris blocking the fan. Spin the blades by hand to ensure free movement.
- Inspect wiring: Verify that the fan connector is firmly seated on the main PCB and that wires are intact.
- Test motor: Measure resistance across the fan motor terminals. An open circuit indicates a failed motor; replace the circulation fan motor.
- Driver circuit: If the motor is good but never receives voltage, the fan driver on the main PCB may be defective, requiring board replacement.
