Abstract
An electronic device and a method for controlling a fan operation are provided. A containing space of the electronic device has a fan module and a deformation sensor. The deformation sensor detects whether a fan housing of the fan module is deformed. The deformation sensor transmits a deformation signal to a controller when detecting that the fan housing is deformed. The controller drives a fan blade of the fan module to stop running after receiving the deformation signal.
