What is Agfa CT error code HC10913?

Thermal printhead cooling fan F1 not connected or malfunctioning. It is reported by the TH Module — Heater & Cooling Fan on DryStar 5500 (Type 5364/100) and DryStar 5503 (Type 5364/300) CT systems. Severity: Alarm; subsystem: TH Module — Heater & Cooling Fan.

What should a field engineer do about HC10913?

Check the connector of fan F1, connector P28 on the MEC board, and the wiring from F1 to MEC/P28 with a multimeter — reconnect or fix wiring as needed. If the fan and its wiring test OK, replace F1; if the sensor functionality on MEC itself is at fault, replace the MEC board.. Isolate the TH Module — Heater & Cooling Fan subsystem and follow the status-code troubleshooting in the service manual. FSELIB documents the full diagnosis and remedy for the DryStar 5500 (Type 5364/100) / DryStar 5503 (Type 5364/300).
