Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

This error occurs when the fan's tachometer signal does not match the engine's expectations. If you hear a whining noise, the fan's bearings are likely failing. If the fan is silent, it has either stopped spinning due to an obstruction or electrical failure.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Power Off: Shut down the printer safely.
  2. Debris Cleaning: Check the intake vents and fan housing for any dust buildup.
  3. Obstruction Check: Ensure no internal loose cabling or debris is touching the fan.
  4. System Test: Power on; the error will clear if the fan reaches the target RPM.

Prevention and Maintenance

Clean the vents monthly. Consistent air flow is vital to prevent heat buildup in the high-performance bizhub PRO 951.

When to Call a Technician

If the fan is clear of dust but still fails to spin, the fan assembly itself must be replaced.
