Flashforge creator pro cooling fan stays on

I have a FF creator pro. Whenever the filament cooling fan on the side of the print head is turned on presumably to cool a bridge, it never turns off, staying on at max power for the rest of the print. This basically ruins the finish of the prints and makes the walls all cracked looking.

When I have a print with no weird holes in it to trigger a bridging operation, the fan stays off. I have looked through the settings and can't seem to figure out what would make it stay on, as the only time it should come on is to cool a small layer (the layers are not small in this print) and a bridge. Which it seems to do, but again, does not turn back off.

Re: Flashforge creator pro cooling fan stays on

Do your settings tell it to turn back off? For example, I know with some materials, my FF fan stays on the entire time, but that's how the process is setup.

And are you sure you're looking at the separate cooling fan, not the extruder fans?

Also, make sure you have the fan speed cooling options disabled on the Cooling tab
