how easy is it to get to the front fan to replace it?

Very easy. There is a gap under the front cover, pull it and it comes off. After the front cover is removed you can clean dust or access the two intake fans.

Very easy. To get to the actual fans themselves, just pull the front cover (takes about 5 seconds). The right side cover (looking at the front of the machine) comes off easy enough; remove two thumb screws and slide it off. The wiring for the fans goes into a structural channel that routes it around the internal drive bays and out near the power supply.

The front panel can be removed (just by pulling on it) then the 2 120mm fans are right there and can be unscrewed from the front and removed.

I believe to do that you need to do it before you even add anything in. You must remove the hard drive bays and maybe reroute some wires. I'm not 100% haven't actually done it myself so I hope someone else can answer your question.

You will need access above and below. The motor is replaceable. The cost may be the same to get a new unit. Problem will be not to damage squirrel cage when taking apart,causing vibration of the fan.

Technically you can't replace the fan. The fan is hardwired with the USB plug. That being said if you are good with rewiring the plug you could use a different fan.

It was very easy on my TV. Open front panel and use a Phillips screwdriver to remove one screw. Pull bulb out and replace.

I didn't change out the whole assembly, I just bought the motor and changed over the upper and lower fans and did a little wiring (it was very easy to do). Has been up and running fine now for about 6 months.

there should not be much size difference in the replacement. There is usually enough space in the fan cover for it to fit, providing your connections/splices are small. This is my opinion !

Hi Lorena,I think it is fairly easy to replace the motor -- it just clips into the bottom of the unit. You should contact the vendor. My experience with the vendor has been excellent -- he is very responsive. Hope this helps.Ron

hello my friend, off course, the fan is a spare part, so, you can change it easy, just remember to buy a 120 mm fan. (sorry for my english, im studing it yet.)

All I can answer for is I took old one off complete and put New one in its place complete. Contained motor, fan and fan housing. Hope that helped.

Not that I have been able to figure out. Certainly not easily. I wish I could attach a photo to show the backside of the fan. In the back there are four accessible Philips head screws. There is, however, a 5th made inaccessible by the fold-up base. I cannot see a way to remove the hinged base. Even if you were to remove the base, the wiring from the charging port and battery compartment (in the base) of the fan might be damaged if the blade casing were removed. That said, the blades are thin and I have a total of 3 of these fans, one for over a year. I haven't yet had a real problem with dust buildup on the blades. I'm very happy with mine.

If the fan was bought through Amazon, their customer service rep will work out a way for you to get the parts. But if it was damaged in transit, you should file a damage report with the carrier.

There are a few screws on the back of the TV that you remove and the entire display module (light bulb, fans, etc.) can be pulled out. You will see both fans in there. You just pull out the wiring harnesses for each fan and pull them out. You may need to remove a few screws. Also, one my fans came with shorter wires than the original, so I had to splice and add a length of wire from the original fan. You might as well replace both fans while you have the module out. I couldn't tell which fan was 1 and 2, so I replaced them both. It should take less than 1 hour to replace the fans. It's pretty easy.

That is exactly where mine was installed 12 years ago. Fan finally gave out after heavy usage and replaced with this new unit a few months ago that was identical in identification, part number, size, shape etc. That was easy.

Yes. There is a knob under the fan cover, very easy to remove and change. You get to choose how long the fan runs once it is activated. I had the electrician set it and then changed it a couple times, very easy to change this yourself. You also get to change the strength of the fan - I ended up letting it run longer at a mid-range level of draw.

Its fairly easy. Remove the trim around the compartment, then unsnap the panel. Then replace the flapper. Make sure to clean and lube the solenoid.

No. Take the old fan blade off the old motor by removing the pin and sliding the blade off.

I didn't have any problem with the fan's assembly. I bought two of them... Let me go look at one of them ... OK, just took it apart, If there is a lip on the smaller pipe, it is in backwards. I am assuming it is still in pieces...1) Loosen the lock for the fan height adjustment2) Push the small pipe up into the bigger one, Non lip side first3) Pull the small pipe through the height adjustment nut until it stops and lock the nut, that lip is to stop the pipe from coming out of the lock nut4) Push the big pipe down into the base5) Push the fan head onto the small pipeYou should be done ...
