Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

If the printer is running hot and you don't feel any airflow from the side, the fan is likely clogged or failed. Vacuuming the exterior vents may fix minor blockages.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Power off the printer immediately.
  2. Use a vacuum to pull dust out of the side air intake grilles.
  3. Inspect for external items blocking the airflow.
  4. Restart the system. If you don't hear the fan start up, it is faulty.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Leave 10cm of clearance on all sides to allow optimal air circulation and prevent dust accumulation.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the fan remains inactive after cleaning the vents, the component is electrically dead and requires replacement by an authorized service provider.
