6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Cecotec EnergySilence 500 fan, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Fan does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outlet not working; power button not pressed. | Ensure the fan is securely plugged into a working power outlet. Press the power button firmly. |
| Blades do not spin initially. | Initial inertia or slight resistance. | Gently rotate the fan blades manually a few times to overcome any initial inertia. The motor should then start spinning them automatically. |
| Fan makes unusual noise. | Loose parts; obstruction in blades/grill; fan not on a stable surface. | Unplug the fan. Check for any loose components or foreign objects obstructing the blades or grill. Ensure the fan is placed on a stable, level surface. |
| Fan does not oscillate. | Oscillation button not pressed; internal mechanism issue. | Press the oscillation button. If it still doesn't oscillate, contact customer support. |
| Weak airflow. | Grills or blades are dirty; fan set to low speed. | Clean the fan grills and blades as per maintenance instructions. Increase the fan speed setting. |
