Customer Complaint
I received a call from a customer in Nashville about their 2020 Hyundai Kona starting to overheat, especially while idling in traffic.
They mentioned:
Temperature gauge rising when stopped
Cooling down slightly when driving
A/C performance dropping at idle
No noticeable coolant leaks
These symptoms are very common when the radiator fan isn’t working properly.
Diagnosis Process
When I arrived, I performed a cooling system check.
Findings:
Radiator fan was not turning on consistently
No major coolant leaks detected
Fan motor showed signs of failure
On vehicles like the Hyundai Kona, the radiator fan plays a critical role in keeping the engine cool—especially at low speeds or when sitting still.
The Repair
Radiator fan replacement requires proper removal and installation to ensure airflow and electrical connections are correct.
Steps performed:
Disconnected battery and prepared the vehicle
Removed the faulty radiator fan assembly
Installed a new cooling fan assembly
Reconnected wiring and secured components
Tested fan operation and monitored engine temperature
Total time on-site was about 1.5–2 hours.
Result
After the repair:
Radiator fan engaged properly
Engine temperature remained stable
A/C performance improved at idle
No more overheating concerns
The customer was relieved to have it fixed before it led to more serious engine damage.
Why Radiator Fans Fail
Radiator fans can fail due to:
Worn-out electric motor
Electrical issues or relay failure
Normal wear over time
When the fan stops working, the engine can overheat quickly—especially in traffic or hot weather.
