The fan has a thermal switch in series with it. Find the thermal switch. Make sure there is electricity to the switch, and make sure the fan comes on when the switch is bypassed with a wire. It's either the wiring, the switch, or the motor. If the motor cannot be turned by hand, that's a strong indication of a motor issue. -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
