Good day Bob,
Thank you for your reply. On my Ultimaker 2E+ I checked three ventilators, all of them near the nozzle head. Do I miss a ventilator? What does IC mean?
Thanks for your help

Hi
I believe there is a fan on the back side of the printer than moves air in to cool the electronics. I don't have a 2E+ so I'm guessing here.
IC = Integrated Circuit. A small bit of electronics stuff. In this case a chip that is specifically designed to take high level commands from the computer in the UM2E+ and turn them into signals that actually run the stepper motors.

Hi
The stepper motors are driven with little driver IC's. When the IC's overheat the motors miss steps. The net result is a shift in the printing location. I'd check the vent fan on the printer and make sure it is not blocked in some way.
