The engine temperature can quickly rise. That is why the radiator of the car is built in. This pumps cold coolant to the engine and thus ensures that the engine cools down. But the radiator can also get very hot. That is why the radiator fan is built-in. When the heat from the radiator becomes too high, the radiator fan kicks on and ensures that the radiator is cooled down. Sometimes the radiator fan does not turn off immediately after driving. This mainly occurs on warmer days when the engine has become very hot. The fan then uses air from outside to cool the motor and surrounding parts.
Car radiator fan broken
When the car's radiator fan breaks, the engine can overheat. The radiator will no longer be cooled. This can cause serious wear on the engine parts or even break the engine. Engine overheating is indicated by a light in the dashboard. You can recognize a broken fan by reduced power when driving at a higher speed. In addition, the air conditioning will no longer get cold or not work at all. If the radiator fan fails, replace it as soon as possible. This prevents further damage to the car.
