What action should be taken if a monitor indicates fan failure?

When a monitor indicates a fan failure, the appropriate action is to follow the corrective actions described on the label. This is crucial because fan failure can significantly impact the performance and effectiveness of radon mitigation systems.

The label typically provides specific instructions that are tailored to the system's design, ensuring that the correct troubleshooting steps are followed to safely address the issue. Ignoring the alert can lead to unnecessary risks, such as increased indoor radon levels, as the system may not be able to effectively vent radon gas without a functioning fan.

Resetting the monitor system without addressing the underlying problem would likely not resolve the issue and could lead to repeated alerts in the future. Additionally, calling a random technician may not guarantee proper handling of the situation since the technician must be knowledgeable about radon mitigation systems and familiar with the specific monitor in use.

By following the instructions on the label, you ensure compliance with manufacturers' specifications and contribute to the overall safety and efficacy of the radon mitigation system. This approach not only addresses the current issue but also helps maintain the integrity of the mitigation system in the long run.
