Manufacturer Narrative

H10: complaints database review pointed out that no further similar issues have been submitted for this unit since its installation in 2020.Based on the available information and taking into account the review of similar events, the most likely root cause of the reported issue is associated to the motor bearing damaged by the corrosion, which consequently does not allow the motor shaft to rotate.Possible causes are water infiltration or water formation due to condensation or high temperatures and high level of humidity in the stationary phase (causes related to environmental conditions).The fact that the motor was no longer rotating freely required a power overload to work, which led to an overcurrent that ultimately caused damages to the replaced boards.
