The Charger Fan is not Running

Situation 

The fan runs when the grill guard is removed.

Common Cause

The most common culprit is a bent fan grill.

How to Confirm and Fix

  • Remove the Fan Guard: Use the screwdriver to unscrew the four screws holding the fan grill in place.
  • Test the Fan: With the fan grill removed, plug your charger into the outlet and check if the fan starts.
  • Adjust the Fan Guard: If the fan activates without the guard, it's likely that the guard is obstructing the fan blades. Carefully bend the guard to ensure it doesn’t touch the blades.
    • You may also contact us at the button below this article to request a replacement fan guard.
  • Reassemble: Secure the fan grill back in place using the screws, then plug in the charger to test.
