Part Cooling Fan not working on P6 and P8
-
I am running an e3d toolchanger , Core XY printer with 4 tools. Running latest version of RRF2
The Fan on P6 has not been working for a while now, so after unplugging the board and rewiring it again , I am now no longer getting fan p8 to turn on as well,.
What I am seeing -- when I plug and measure the current from P6 and P8 it is reading in the 23-24V range all the time, even if the tools are not active.
The 2 cooling Fans in P2 and P4 have a Voltage of 0 when not running and ramp up as I slide the fan from the web UI.
I applied a 24v charge to the 2 cooling fans on tools 3 and 4 (P6,P8) and they were spinning ok.
It is when I decided to measure the tools with working fans that I noticed that those had an initial voltage of 0 when powered off and not constant like the other 2.
All the thermostatic fans 1,3,5 and 7 are working fine. When I turn on the hotend the hotend fan will fire up as expected without fail.
Run out of ideas on what else to check -- hoping it may just be a config setting that I may have overlooked.

@incurio had to add some random characters to be able to post without being marked as spam ..

It sounds like you found the cause in your other thread.
-
@phaedrux That was the replacement board that I got -- and it was fried .. not sure how/when that happened.
I pulled that out and reverted to original board and now another cooling fan not wrking in original. But original doesnt have any burn marks.
I dont think I know what is the issue -- for ex: is it normal for part fan to read 24v even when not running? what could be causing that?
-
@incurio said in Part Cooling Fan not working on P6 and P8:
is it normal for part fan to read 24v even when not running? what could be causing that?
No that is not normal and indicates a failed fan mosfet. That usually happens from a fan with an internal short or shorted wiring, though they can also fail on their own. However given the number of fan issues on multiple boards it seems like it's maybe a fan/wiring issue.
-
@incurio here is timeline:
been printing filaments that dont need part cooling:
-- noticed that fan on P6 not powering up.
-- verified connections on fan workng ok, then bought a new replacement Duex5
-- installed Duex5 fan P6 working , now P8 not working --
-- close examination of new Duex5 shows burning -- ask for refund or replacements ( asked to post in this channel )
-- put back old Duex5 now fans P6 and P8 not working. same issue Fan volt reads as 24V when not powered on.
-- dont know root cause yet -- is this a known issue that can happen to Duex5 ? -
@phaedrux I am not an electrician is this something I could fix? i.e replacing mosfet?
what kind of wiring issue might cause mosfet to blow?
thx
-
@incurio I am using the same kind of fans on all the toolheads.
-
The mosfets can be replaced if you're handy with hot air or a soldering iron. They are small though.
https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Troubleshooting/Parts#fan-mosfet
Usually it's a fan shorting that can cause them to fail. Positive and negative touching.
Fans can sometimes short internally as well. Do all the fans work when connected to voltage directly?
-
@phaedrux All the fans are working when I use a separate 24v power source.
Not being an electrician when I noted there was 24v pwr on bad fan -- I eneded up replacing the wiring on my fan until I realised ( dumb me ) that it should have initially read a value of 0.
I didnt realise that the fan itself might short out.. i am using 24v fan winsinn -- I did read some article about them being unreiable fans.
What can I do to prevent a short from fan blowing my mosfet?
