Yo

I have a question for you guys who owns a Hartke HA2500 head.

Does the fan keep running all the time or only when the head start to heat? My head is not turning on the fan when start to use it. I only used it for a few hours, for test purposes. Not sure if this is a reason to be afraid or not. It didn't overheated yet, but I would like to know if your units have the fan running all the time.

Thanks!

Have you tried twirling the fan blades with a pencil etc to find out if the fan motor might be seized?

I didn't try with a pencil or pen, but I tried blowing. It didn't work. If I am not wrong, the first time I turned it on, the fan worked. but didn't work anymore. quite strange. If this issue persists, I will be sending it to repair.

Unless it's under warranty, you can fix that easy. I had to replace the one on my 3500. Larry Hartke sent me one for free.

PM if you go this route and need any instruction.
