Incorrectly Installed Fans? Refitting fans in in my Kenwood TS-590SG
Переглядів 10 тис.7 років тому
My Kenwood TS-590SG was getting very hot when used in a SSB contest. Hot air was exiting from the underside rather from the rear. At the time Kenwood had not received any other reports. Now seems a lot of the SG versions have the fans installed backwards? Easy to correct.

thanks. I thought the thing was getting awful hot. Hotter than my tube amp! Great video and yes mine were backwards. Great radio,just something that got goofed on it. 73 es thanks
I just received a 20m Moxon from them amazing quality and after that I just had to order a 10m Quad so impressed with the quality of this company. I will review both antenna's in the near future 73's all from VE8AP
Four minutes of removing screws. I quit at that point.
Luckily mine are in correctly. SN# B5500xxxx
Roger, mine is B5500xxxx as well. Did you open your radio to check, or is it safe to just go by the serial number?
I did open it to check the fans
The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind. In this case it was blowing the wrong way.
Nice video, very helpful. 73's John ON8EI
Are you playing Defcon in the background or something?
What's Happened to QC at Kenwood that's appalling. Your radio could have blown because some imbecile never put the fan in correctly
Man Kenwood was morons on that one. Easy fix though and anyone sending this to kenmore for this fix should have your ham lisc revoked!
Thanks for the video, Mike. I will check my TS-590SG shortly.
Very disturbing playing music in the background will trying to explain the issue, I guess you have never done two many video's to understand what is the correct way. I would have liked to watched the video, but poor judgment on you part.
And your channel has no videos
You don't need to take anything off to check fan orientation. Just shine a flashlight through the bottom vent holes. If you can see the fan labels facing the front of the radio, they're backwards.
Excellent video! Terrible music selection! ;-)
It sounds like chamber music.
The usic is scary I thought a monster was going to jump out
Mike Thanks for Your Kenwood TS590SG Reversed Fans Video. I was lazy HiHi and hooked up a big dummy load and keyed it up on CW for a few minutes until the fans kicked on; then placed tissue paper under the front air intake and it stuck to the intake...Praise the Lord my fans were correctly installed. Got mine in Feb of 2015. Best of 73 Mike !! Lawrence VA7LTX
Made in Malaysia, explains all. In Japan would be assembled correctly.
I tend to agree
This must be sorted out by now.........the brochure photo shows the fan HUBS are forward, and the 'scoup' of the fan blades clearly grab air running COUNTER clockwise....
Thank you so very much for such an in-depth instructional video. Great job, very nicely done. 73
From which year or S/N this problem was sorted ?
Why wouldnt you use some soft cloth or rubber mat to put your radio onto instead of putting it directly onto a wooden bench ?.....crazy !!
Because he's not an OCD pussy
Wood actually is better for preventing static buildup than many other surfaces. An anti-static mat would be ideal but wood is fine.
Jeeez what a shit! And this radio IS expensive!
Many thanks for your video. Mine was wrong too serial no. B571xxxx
Thanks Mike for the excellent detailed video. Yep, mine (B66......) were in backwards :-( But, thanks to your video I was able to correct the problem. As I understand it if you have a 590SG with serial numbers with B58 up through B67 there is a good chance your fans are in backwards. 73's
How can I tell this procedure is required without disassembling the radio?
Sadly u have to remove the cover to see the fans
Thanks, Mike!
I wondered how well that company antennas where built. Seem to be ok.
Other than the poor pressings all went together well. Have seen another since and the pressing were a lot better
I have a 3 ele from Innovantennas for 24MHz. So far, after five years of permanent exposure to extremely high winds (85mph gusts thus far) and sea air, the antenna looks almost as new and has never caused a problem. More than that, the owner of Innovantennas is honest and reliable.
I checked my TS-590 because it overheated every time I used it and found the fans were completely MISSING. Just kidding...
??
thx for qso today, very impressive, how long does it take to pitch it up? cheers
also thanks for the q. roughly about 40mins from hitching up trailer from farm and setting up with the 3 element beam to being on air. Only have to tow 500m or so. Everything is left in its longest lengths and the rotatar is left on and just have the tower at a slight angle when moving it. 73 de Mike M0ZDZ G7Y
Thanks - I had the same issue; now fans bring cool air in and flow over components through chassis and out the rear de WQ1Z
Modroc_73 cool air in from where? Behind the hot display?
@@darthorpheus Likely the air intake as air will not pass through a display, hot or cold.
During CW operation is PA burdened even more than the SSB.
Yes the transceiver works harder in CW
I did the same thing
Thx Mike...I had same issue...resolved today thanks to your video. My Radio is B62**** de WQ1Z
You do not need to remove the bottom cover at all.
Sadly both covers have to come off but not the feet or the bar
Mike! Cheers for this mate. Mine were "arse about face". Checked today after a couple of long CW contacts when noticed rig getting a little too warm! Easy fix with your excellent guide. Thanks for posting this. 73 Nigel G4BSW
You do not need to take the feet & bail off.
