the fan on my pro series 1150 is running nonstop even when it's turned off, is that normal?

— asked by Taylor

Quick answer: No, it's not normal. This is almost always a failed control board that's not cutting power to the fan circuit after shutdown.

Diagnosis

No, it's not normal. This is almost always a failed control board that's not cutting power to the fan circuit after shutdown.

How to Fix It

You need to replace the control board. Unplug the grill, remove the four screws on the front panel to access the board, disconnect the wiring harnesses, and swap in the new unit.

If That Didn't Work

If a new board doesn't fix it, the issue could be a stuck relay on the newer Wi-Fi-enabled controller. A full power cycle (unplug for 30 seconds) sometimes resets it temporarily, but a permanent fix still requires a controller replacement.

Heads Up

Don't just leave it plugged in with the fan running—it will drain the battery if you're using the optional battery pack and indicates an electrical fault.
