What to do if Siemens 1PH818 Engine fan does not run anymore?
- B
  Bobby HawkinsAug 12, 2025
  If the Siemens Engine fan stops running, there are several potential causes. It could be due to: * No line voltage, a line failure, or under/overvoltage: In this case, check the line voltage. * An earth fault: Inspect the motor connection and line voltage. * A short circuit winding: The fan may need to be replaced. * The thermal motor protection has triggered because the motor is overheated: Ensure free air passages, and remove any obstructions. Also, check the temperature of the supply air and the voltage. * The impeller is blocked or dirty: Switch off the power, ensure safe isolation, remove the safety grille, clear any foreign objects or dirt, and then remount the grille. Refer to the chapter on “Start-up” for further instructions.

  If your Siemens Engine is making unusual noises, it could be due to several reasons: * Damaged or worn bearings: You may need to change the bearings. If the motor size is “Z”, replace the entire fan. * The impeller or blade is scraping or brushing: Clear any foreign objects or dirt from the fan. * Operation beyond stall point (for axial fans): Ensure there are free air passages by checking the supply and exhaust air vents and filters. * Wrong overlap on the nozzle (for centrifugal fans): Refer to the installation instructions for proper setup.

  Robert SmithAug 27, 2025
  If the airflow from your Siemens Engine is too low, consider these potential causes: * The fan is turning too slowly: Refer to the troubleshooting steps for a fan that turns too slowly. * Airways are blocked: Check for free air passages in the supply and exhaust air vents and filters. Also, inspect the impeller for blockages or dirt. * Pressure loss is different than planned: Verify the fan selection to ensure it matches the system requirements.

Why is my Siemens Engine vibrating?
- C
  Christine BrownSep 3, 2025
  If your Siemens Engine is vibrating, consider the following: * Imbalance: Inspect the blades for damage, soiling, or ice. Also, check the impeller for blockages or dirt. * No or wrong vibration dampers (radial fans only): Install the correct vibration dampers.
