Why is my BIG ASS FANS Fan motor overheating and shutting off?
- E
  Edward SingletonAug 23, 2025
  If the motor overheats, shuts off, and restarts, it could be due to an extension cord with too small a gauge or obstructed inlet air. Try replacing the extension cord with a heavier one and ensure there is at least 3 ft (0.9 m) of clearance for inlet air. If the problem continues, consider replacing the motor.

  If your fan won't run but is humming, the blade might be hitting the shroud, or the motor might be stalled. Try re-centering the blade hub. If the motor will not turn by hand, you may need to replace it.

  If the floor is wet at the side of the cooler, the water inlet hose might be loose at the supply hose or at the bulkhead fitting. Tighten the connections and/or replace the hose washers.

Why is water overflowing from my BIG ASS FANS F-EV1-5001 Fan reservoir?
- A
  Adriana MoraSep 15, 2025
  If water is overflowing from the reservoir or spitting through the fan, it could be due to several reasons: a loose float valve hose, water pressure that's too high (exceeding 120 PSI), or a float valve that's not properly seated. Try tightening the hose connections and/or replacing the hose washers. If the water pressure is too high, reduce it by adding an inline reducer. Also, check all hoses for leaks.

Why is my BIG ASS FANS Fan not reaching full speed?

  charlestaylorSep 4, 2025
  If the fan turns but doesn't reach full speed and makes a humming sound, check the capacitor (where visible) and motor electrical connections. You may need to replace the capacitor or motor, or replace the extension cord with a heavier cord if it is too small.
