Check Fan No. 1: Anyone else having problems with the "Check Fan No. 1" after a year's use?

I had this problem yesterday with my HLT6187s (out of warranty of course). I knew the local TV repair guys would charge hundreds of dollars to fix this, so I decided to tackle it myself. For me it was a very easy fix and it only took 10 minutes once I figured out where "fan no. 1" was. 1. I unplugged the TV, disconnected all my peripherals and I unscrewed and took off the back cover of the TV 2. Looking directly at the back of the TV there are two fans, a small one to the left, and a large one to the right. 3. I figured out that neither of these were fan no. 1 because they were spinning when I turned the TV on. 4. Just to test, I disconnected the small fan, and tried again and this time it said check "fan no. 1 & no. 2" 5. I reconnected fan no. 2 and looked for fan no. 1 6. After about 10 minutes I found it, (it was on the far right side of the TV behind a circuit board. 7. I unscrewed the circuit board and it slid right out giving me access to fan no. 1 8. I undid the four screws holding fan no.1 in place (I really only had to undo the bottom two, as the top two aren't attached to anything connected to the TV) 9. I followed the wire connecting fan no. 1 to its power supply and unhooked it and completely removed the fan. 10. I throughly cleaned out the fan with a dry wash cloth as it was covered in dust, and plugged it back into its original slot and used my remote to the turn the TV on from behind it. 11. fan no. 1 was spinning again, so I put it back in its original place, slid the circuit board back in. I turned the TV on again and saw there was no more "check fan no. 1" message so I just screwed everything back in and replaced the back cover. 12. TV fixed, no need to pay hundreds of dollars to a tech. I didn't even have to replace the fan, but I may end up getting another one just in case it does it again.

I've used mine full power for nearly a year now, and there is some signs of oil build-up on the cover. the real issue is the fan bearings failing. actually, the real issue is getting a fully-functional product back from MSI on an RMA. I'm on my 3rd attempt at it, and it all started with a minor inconvenience of the fans not starting, they needed a push to start.

Either they have changed the specifications, or your unit is defective. The fan on my unit only comes on when I've had it under heavy load for awhile, then shuts off awhile after the load is reduced.

I had the same problem, I just sent the fan back and I was quickly sent a replacement

I have the same issue and am trying to contact the seller for a replacement. 1 year warranty?

I have the same problem sometimes. I think that I turn it all the way clockwise then back all the way to the left or just turn it until the fans kick on. Is everything installed correctly? Won't hurt to double check and make sure the temp probe is secure.

The cooler part of my two fans are about the only thing that has kept on working. I have returned by fans to the manufacturer at least four times for repairs which is about the only thing you can do if you are having a problem. Wish I had a better answer for you. If you are under warranty, they will do the repairs for free but it is pretty inconvenient having to box up and return the fan. Give them a call and they will send you a UPS label so you can ship it back at no charge. Hope this helps.

Check the manual here for the troubleshooting section: http://www.soleusair.com/Manuals/2011%20Manual/SG-DEH-30M%2045%2070-1A%20Soleus%20Manual%203-31-2011.pdfSometimes I think it's just the fan kicking up a speed every once in a while.

'course! I've not had that issue with this case buuuuuuuuuuuuut there's a few things we can do! Firstly, make sure all the power cables to the fans coming from the case are connected to MOLEX/4pin power connectors (or the relevant ones for the fan you are connecting) and if it's still not receiving power and spinning up either A) Send the case in for replacement or B) Try a replacement power cable to the fan. Not really much more help beyond that which can be offered I'm afraid!

Lucky you! I only got one year. If the fans work, the temp readout works, light works, everything works but doesn't cool it is a $5 dollar part. I spent $8 total to fix mine. I will try to include some links to help you. You can buy the parts on Amazon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBhVS7GhCOM

FYI, I have two of these fans and the one in my master bedroom started to have problems. during the recent heatwave, I had the fan running on high speed. after a while it started getting louder and would turn off randomly. I would turn the light switch off, wait a minute and then turn it back on. I really like the fan but honestly, next time I buy ceiling fans, I'm going to get a better brand.

Mine went bad after 1 year. Maybe install, maybe product. Tear up whole floor? So we have no heat in floor. Dave

Sorry I cannot help you there. When I bought mine I am not sure if the fan was defective but when I turned it on it bearly, I mean bearly blew any heat, so I sent it back to Amazon and did not get a new one.

I have one & when the speed control switch knob is between settings the fan does not run. I suggest turning the knob to assure it is in the right position

I have had my fan for four months and have not had any problem with the oscillation function. I do think that the manufacturer should stand behind their product.

Never have had that problem, would guess it is reacting to high SWR or possibly an heat issue such as the fan not operating, the unit does have thermal shut down which can be caused by high swr or a heat problem.
