    Why does my Brother Fax Machine say 'Cooling Down Wait for a while'?
    • J
      Julia SmithSep 3, 2025
      The 'Cooling Down Wait for a while' message on your Brother Fax Machine indicates that the drum unit or toner cartridge is too hot. Ensure the fan is spinning and the exhaust outlet isn't blocked. If the fan works, clear any obstructions around the exhaust outlet and let the machine sit turned on for several minutes without use. For FAX-2840 and MFC-7240 models: turn the power off, wait a few seconds, then turn it back on, and leave the machine on for 15 minutes. For FAX-2940 models: turn the power off, wait a few seconds, then turn it back on, and leave it on for 15 minutes.
