What does 30010 mean?

The drive (MotiFlex e180, MicroFlex e190) has detected that an internal cooling fan has failed or is not operating as expected.

Common Causes

  • Blocked fan inlets or outlets on the bottom of the drive, preventing airflow.
  • Mechanical failure of the fan motor or bearings, causing the fan to stop rotating.
  • Accumulation of dust and debris on the fan blades or housing, hindering rotation.
  • An electrical fault in the fan circuit or wiring.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Check the bottom of the drive to ensure the fan inlets are not blocked by debris or external objects.

  2. 2

    Visually inspect the fan to determine if it is rotating freely when the drive is powered on or attempting to operate.

  3. 3

    Clean any accumulated dust or foreign material from the fan blades and housing to ensure unobstructed rotation.

  4. 4

    If the fan does not turn despite being clear of obstructions, it indicates a hardware failure of the fan itself. Contact ABB for a replacement fan specific to the drive model.
