Fan speed and A-01 error

Taking Care of the Bullet R1 Bullet R1 Troubleshooting
1

I recently started getting some A-01 errors and saw from the manual that this occurs when the fan blower rpm drops under 400 which was happening at F4 and below. The first recommendation is to recalibrate your fan so I did that but it stayed stuck on F2 and the rpm never got over ~600 during calibration. I played around with it more today and it looks like my issue might have been that I did not have the fan calibration mode set to bl-16 which is the setting for the old motor (including my v1.5 bullet). Once I changed that calibration was able to hit a full range of rpms so I think I’m good now.

I don’t know why I just started getting the rpm errors and if I was previously miscalibrated but it does seem that getting that setting correctly during fan calibration is very important and it would be nice if the manual mentions it as one of the first steps.

Ah-hah!! That seems to be exactly what I just got thru posting about 2 minutes ago!

What you describe are the very symptoms I seemed to be having after I replaced the exhaust fan motor. I’m just not sure when my issue crept into the operation of my roaster (before or after the fan issue). I was having a problem with chaff not being moved properly into the chaff collector and one time with beans not dropping properly into the drum (I had a bunch of beans end up in the transfer tube one time).

Thanks for posting this!!
