Why thermostat & cooling fan repairs matter
Your thermostat and cooling fan work together to keep engine temperatures within a safe operating range. When either component fails, your engine may overheat, run too cold or place extra strain on the rest of the cooling system — increasing the risk of breakdowns and engine damage.
Prompt diagnosis and repair help maintain correct temperature control and protect vital engine components.
Thermostat faults explained
The thermostat controls coolant flow between the engine and radiator. If it becomes stuck open or closed, it can cause:
Engine overheating
Poor heater performance
Temperature fluctuations
Reduced fuel efficiency
If your temperature gauge behaves inconsistently or your heater performance drops, the thermostat should be inspected.
Cooling fan faults explained
The cooling fan draws air through the radiator when the vehicle is stationary or moving slowly. If the fan fails due to motor, relay, fuse or wiring faults, heat can build up quickly — especially in traffic or warm weather.
Common fan-related symptoms include:
Overheating at idle or low speeds
Cooling fan not running when expected
Loud or unusual fan noises
Rapid temperature rise on the dashboard
