Thanks for the quick reply! I'll check the thermal switch. How did you determine that the fan motor was getting power? Any specific tests you did?

I didn't do any fancy tests, just visually inspected the wiring for damage and then I took it to a workshop. The mechanics diagnosed it quickly and the fan started working again after they replaced the sensor.

Thanks, that's helpful! I think I'll skip messing around with the electrics and just take it to a mechanic. Sounds like it could be the speed sensor after all. The estimated repair cost is around 250€. Appreciate the advice!

Hey! I had a similar issue with my Clipper. Check the thermal switch and the fan blade itself, they might be the culprits. Is the fan motor getting power?
