What's the most common issue you encounter when using Antminer？ 
One of the most common failures of ASICs is overheating of chips and their failure. Usually, the further the chip is from the front fan for blowing, the higher the temperature. And ASIC power supplies do not like voltage drops in the power grid.Do you mean the miner is running in an unheated room that is 30f or 0c
Most miners do not like temps like 30f or 0c
But that is not the miner that is the super cold room they are in.
Much like running a miner in a 45c plus room or a 113f room
Those are simply poor places to run a miner

This claims -20c to 45c. And it will run.
-20c is 7f. I CAN TELL YOU IT won't do well in a room that cold
45c is 113f. I can tell you it may work in this temp if that is the hot point for the day.
Don't run Gear in extreme rooms.
A 35f or 2c room is good
A 90f or 33c room is good.
Chip temps at 70c for all s19 or s21 models are good.
No issue unless you got a faulty device.
Although I hate them noise, too noise for a home if you have more than one.
The amount of power they draw is very high too and as a solar energy miner I am trying to avoid Asic miners as possible.
I hope that in the near future we will see a lot of home miners that have higher TH power, maybe over 100TH and also more efficient to run.
If you are new to the miners you can face small issues like inconsistency and instability but trust me that's because you are new to mining, normally you need to place the miner in a well ventilated area for better cooling or you will face these issues.
Make sure the fan spins and also make sure the psu isn't overheating.
Even with ventilation, the temperature will still rise if it is running continuously. This is similar to playing with your mobile phone in an air-conditioned room; the temperature will still increase after a long period of use.Although I hate them noise, too noise for a home if you have more than one.
