A couple of times my fan has started to make a loud sound and the computer has got quite hot.
One time it closed down altogether and restarted.
When I look under "Fan Control" in Settings,I get a message:
"Settings Error.
Could not load Fan Control settings pane".
Does anyone know what this means and what I should do?
Thanks,
Nick.

If it is a third party fan control I would uninstall it.
For an Intel Mac you can try resetting the system management Controller
resetting the SMC —Reset the SMC of your Mac - Apple Support
in general Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/Anti-Virus/VPN
all known to cause issues on the macOS
if you are still having an issue—
you can get a good look at your User/System config. and reveal conflicts or issues, you can download/run this trusted utility https://etrecheck.com
