The fan on my mid 2013 MacBook Air 13 inch runs continuously. Have tried SMC reset, NVPRAM reset, Diagnostics = "Could not find Serial Number. Reference Code: NNN001. Requires Servicing". Battery constantly drained by fan.
I am in France at the moment and cannot get to service site easily. And not fluent in French. Any suggestions please?
MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
It's normal for the fan to run continuously, and the machine does need servicing to restore the serial number. If you feel that the fan is louder than usual, see below.

Thanks Linc, that is helpful. I had shut down every App, removed anything running in the back ground etc etc. I tried downloading various Versions of SMC updates and was unable to install due to (probably) the Serial number being 'lost'. I think I'll wait until I return to Australia because I'm moving regularly from place to place across France. Thanks again for your help, but the problem persists - I'll just have to put up with it and use it when needed. Emails etc are taken care of by 3 iPhones and an iPad Mini. The MacBook is for the office work. Cheers.
