Fans always on

Hi,

I'm observing a new problem of my Ultimaker: The fans are always on. They start instantly with switching on the machine.

I can't alter their rpm any more with the UltiController nor I can't change the speed with Cura. Even when I put "M106 S0" via Cura's command line, the fans don't respond. They're staying on.

I have absolutely no clue what's causing that. Can someone help me please?

    You mean the hot end fan? if that is always in, check the wiring, if it is actually plugged into the right port on the board. if it is always on, the darlington transistor PWM'ing the fan is maybe dead, and needs replacement. you can kill the transistor by shortening the leads to the fan.

    the main electronics fan under the printer is supposed to be always on.

    Yes, I mean the hot end fan.

    I already guessed I killed something on the pcb by accidentally shortening the leads. *blush*

    I want to replace the broken part. Can you help me?

    Where do I find the part (transistor) on the board?

    And what type of transistor do I need?

    Thank you!

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
