Title: Blower Problem
Post by: t-star on 19 February 2009, 18:12:26

Ok Here goes....Beforre i brought my mig from a dealers the heater fan didnt work. The dealer changed the resistor and when i picked it up the heater fan was working fine. The other day when i got in i turned the fan on and, nothing. The diplay is all lit up and the fan speed display works for a few seconds the goes out. I have checked the scuttle drain and it's bone dry, all of the fuses are ok as well. When i was checking the scuttle i removed the pollen filter and was unable to turn the fan by hand. Could the fan motor be knackered???


Any ideas

Seems that way if it won't turn freely by hand.
I asume they're a hamster wheel type of fan, all I've come across have easily spun by hand.
