Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

If the error occurs upon startup, the fan may be physically trapped by internal debris or a loose cable. Check for heavy dust buildup on the side venting grids.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely.
  2. Gently blow compressed air through the external vents.
  3. Ensure the printer is placed in an area with at least 10 cm of clearance on all sides.
  4. Attempt to boot after 15 minutes of cool-down time.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Avoid placing the machine in confined spaces without proper ventilation. Clean the intake grids monthly to prevent dust buildup that slows down fan rotation and shortens motor life.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error persists after cleaning and the fan remains stationary on boot, the cooling module has failed electrically and needs replacement.
