Maintenance
3. Blow clean compressed air (not humid) from bottom to top and simultaneously use a

in another room.

Drive module fan replacement
The drive module fan cools the heatsink. Fan failure can be predicted by the 
increasing noise from fan bearings and the gradual rise in the heatsink temperature 
in spite of heatsink cleaning. If the drive is operated in a critical part of a process, fan 
replacement is recommended once these symptoms start appearing. Replacement 
fans are available from ABB. Do not use other than ABB specified spare parts.
To monitor the running time of the cooling fan, see Group 29: MAINTENANCE TRIG 
on page 1-127.
