Return the fan.... only one blade works on mine on cool but I use it mostly for exhaust so I'm not gonna go and return it since both blades work fine on exhaust

You can fix the fan yourself. This user posted a video showing how to do it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjRDjOL8nCY My penguin model started to develop a whirr, so I followed the instructions in the video and it's now back to quiet. If your fan is totally dead and you're out of warranty, it's easy to replace. It's just a standard 2-pin 80 mm computer fan. They run about $5 on eBay. Unscrew four to six screws on the bottom of the basin, lift off the top or bottom section, unscrew four screws holding the fan, disconnect the fan connector (it's not soldered, just attaches to a pair of pins on the control board,) plug in the new fan and replace the screws. Seriously, a monkey could do it.

Sorry I cannot help you there. When I bought mine I am not sure if the fan was defective but when I turned it on it bearly, I mean bearly blew any heat, so I sent it back to Amazon and did not get a new one.

Not the fan, the heatsink. My heatsink did. I took it off, and using my own, but probably not a big difference.

mine is dc. I had battery drain problem. Wired it from a toggle switch to disconnect neg. batt cable. only energised with engine running problem solved. I don't know why it would't work for a fan

It may be overheated. Mine did this sometimes after it was on for a long time. Try turning it off and giving it time to cool.

Check and see if the fan is running - may be overheating and shutting down.

Mine showed F when the top assembly did not sit properly on the base. I could see that clearly the top and base alignment is not perfect. I'd take the assembly out and make sure it sits properly on the base then it'd show all fan options. Hope this helps.

I bought 2 of these last year and had problems with both, one fan didn't work and melted front, other one makes alot of noise and quits after about an hour, I have to unplug let cool down then I can restart!! Good luck but both of mine are JUNK!!

My fans stopped working within a week of install. I modded a hobby wing heatsink-fan and it works great

Yes - if your fan is not working and everything else is - then it is probably the switch - which is a part that can easily break. I tired to fix the old switch but that is impossible. Just be sure to mark where each of the four wires go to make sure you get them back in the proper place - otherwise you will be guessing through trial and error. Good luck

A cooling fan does kick in when it switches to backup mode, but it really isn't that noticeable. Mine's pretty quiet.

Sorry my fan was not working too,for a week one of the fan stopped working ,since we throw the box we can't return it to amazon,they have to improve this product because the appearance is good but the performance is bad.

Make sure you have power cord connected in the "cool" orientation. The cord connects in one way to cool and another way to warm the inside. Try unplugging the cord where it plugs into cooler and turning cord end over.If I misunderstood please give more detail.

If the setting dials are working? The air humidity should trigger your fan....if not you may seek a replacement unit....Thank you..11/23/2013
