ReMOve inveRTeR COOlinG Fan

nOTe: This is a 24VDC fan. If the fan were
to quit running the drive would run hotter
shortening the life of the drive. If the drive
runs too hot, it will shut itself down and
give a code. If that code is ignored and the
washer is still run with a failed or severely
blocked fan, it will shorten the life of the
inverter. Make sure the cooling fan and fins
are clean and the fan is working properly.
The cooling fan is the only replacement part
that can be ordered for the inverter. Some
of the larger washers have 2 cooling fans in
their inverters.
