What happens if the IceProbes fan motor stops running?
If for some reason the fan motor stops running, the heat sinks temperature will increase and the system will become much less efficient. A safety thermal fuse is attached to the IceProbes heat sink to prevent it from becoming dangerously hot and damaging the system. This fuse will detect when the heat sink becomes too hot and will cut the power to the IceProbe until the heat sink cools. The thermal fuse is designed to automatically cycle in this manner up to 100,000 times until the problem is corrected.
