Dehumidifier displays E6 and stops; may occur when fan should start.

Safety: Unplug the unit before touching the fan or internal components.

• Check for obstructions: Remove the front grille and filter. Look for debris, plastic bags, or ice blocking the fan blades or blower wheel. Remove any obstruction.
• Spin test: Gently spin the fan blade or blower wheel by hand. It should rotate freely. If it is stiff or jammed, the motor bearings may be failing.
• Inspect wiring: Access the fan motor area and check the wiring harness and connectors for damage or loose plugs.
• Capacitor check (if equipped): Some TCL dehumidifiers use a separate capacitor for the fan motor. Inspect for bulging or leaks and test with a multimeter. Replace if defective.
• Replace fan motor: If the motor is noisy, seized, or does not run even with proper voltage, replace the fan motor assembly with a TCL-compatible part. Transfer the fan blade or blower wheel to the new motor and secure it firmly.
• Main board diagnosis: If the motor and capacitor test good but the fan never receives power, the main PCB fan driver may be faulty and require replacement.
