Severity:Medium Severity

What This Error Means

This error indicates a problem with the cooling fan on the Main PCA. Overheating could occur, leading to performance issues or damage.

Common Causes
  • 1Dust and debris accumulation on the Main PCA fan blades, restricting movement or causing motor strain.
  • 2Worn-out or failed Main PCA fan motor bearings, leading to reduced fan speed or complete seizure.
  • 3Faulty fan control circuit on the Main PCA, failing to supply proper voltage or control signals to the fan.
  • 4Loose or damaged fan power/signal cable connection to the Main PCA.
  • 5Physical obstruction preventing the fan from spinning freely (e.g., dislodged internal component).
Symptoms to Watch For
  • Printer displays error code 55:03 on the front panel.
  • Increased internal printer temperature, potentially leading to other thermal-related errors (e.g., printhead overheating).
  • Unusual fan noise (grinding, whining, or no sound at all from the fan area).
  • Intermittent or complete printer shutdowns due to overheating protection.
  • Reduced printing performance or print quality degradation as components struggle under thermal stress.
Basic Troubleshooting Steps
1. Turn off the printer and unplug it. 2. Ensure the printer has adequate ventilation around it. 3. Inspect the fan vents for dust or obstructions. 4. Plug in and restart the printer. If the fan is faulty, it needs replacement.
