Greetings pdd81 welcome to the forum.

The original reason for repair in unclear, was it that the Fan stopped/electrical, or did it stop delivering heat/mechanical, while the fan still worked.

Have you replaced the coolant, and possibly have a air lock in the system?
Tell us more!

Have a good Day !

pdd81,

Electrical then !

Some heater switches have a thermal cutout in them. Sort of a Circuit breaker, which usually reset themselves after a cooloff period.

If your switch doesn not have that feature within it, it could be that there is another such item, somewhere in the circuit.

In any case, it appears that this is the problem, and I'm not saying that IT is the problem, but possibly a overcurrent from the Blower Motor, which is causing it to interrupt the circuit.
My best guess.

Have a good Day !
