What are the symptoms of a faulty car electric fan?
1 Answers
Here are methods to determine whether a car electric fan is faulty: 1. Visual Inspection: Use your eyes to observe the surface; check the coil color at the fan motor's ventilation port for any signs of burning. If there are burn marks, it indicates that the fan motor coil has burned out and can no longer be used. 2. Smell Test: Use your nose to detect any burnt coil odor from the fan motor; any melted plastic smell (capacitor); or any burnt wire smell (wiring). The presence of a burnt odor means you need to replace the fan motor, new connecting wires, and capacitors. 3. Touch Test: Manual inspection; rotate the shaft by hand to check its operation. If it rotates with difficulty or isn't smooth, it indicates a lack of oil in the internal bearings or rotor scraping. If scraping occurs, while adding oil and cleaning, you also need to replace the bearings on both sides to eliminate the scraping phenomenon. If the surface temperature rises too quickly or too high when touched by hand, it indicates an inter-turn short circuit in the fan motor, requiring replacement of the fan motor.
