Mini Countryman Blower Motor Failure
Summary of the thread
The fresh air blower in a 2023 Mini Countryman diesel stopped working, with an error code indicating a blower motor fault. The issue was likely due to a defective blower motor, although a fan speed controller fault was considered less probable. The recommended solution was to replace the blower motor, which resolved the problem, restoring the air conditioning functionality.

Thanks for the quick reply! Where exactly is the fan speed controller located, and is there a way to test it before I resign myself to replacing the blower motor?

Given the error code and lack of function across all fan speeds, it is highly probable that the blower motor is defective. While the fan speed controller could theoretically be at fault, it is less likely when the motor is completely unresponsive. It's like blaming a light switch when the bulb is burned out. Proceeding with the blower motor replacement at a workshop is advisable, especially considering the cost you quoted, which seems reasonable.

Just wanted to close the loop on this. Took it to the workshop and, as you suspected, the blower motor was indeed the culprit. 365€ later, the air conditioning is blowing cold again. Thanks a bunch for the confirmation!

The symptoms you describe, combined with the stored error, strongly suggest a faulty blower motor. Have you checked the fan speed controller? Sometimes that can cause similar issues.
