What happens when it dies? I've had fans last 5-8 years. So much for an American name brand. Where's the warranty? Will Whirpool stand behind it?

It never died, it just quit isolating. It happened after the 30 day warranty.

Dont abuse/drop it and it should last years. I use cooling fans on my two that I have setup in a case. They never get warm, even during charging at the field on summer days.

I would honestly contact Noctua support. IIRC this cooler comes with extra clips for a second fan. If you damaged a clip or were shorted one, I'm sure these guys will replace it. The cooler comes with a 6-year warranty and I've read countless occasions about their customer service being second to none. So I'd say start there! http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=support&lng=en

Mine died a week shy of the one year warranty. I called the # on the warranty card and they sent me a new one the next week. The customer service person said more than likely, it had been sitting around for a couple of years. The replacement works great and comes directly from the manufacturer.

While I don't have the EVGA policy in front of me, I can promise you that an aftermarket solution will void the warranty. The company can't trust that you installed the cooling solution correctly, so why would they keep it under warranty?

On a side note, Stanley, we had a Whirlpool one in the kitchen to cool the kitchen and livingroom areas and it finally died last year after several years of having it. We tried to replace it with one of the many brands that we've had in other rooms that were cheaper. We hated all of them and they just wouldn't cool very well at all. I finally insisted on finding another Whirlpool since our old one was so great. This was well worth the extra money. It does a great job and we love it. We would never buy another brand again. Hope this helps in your decision...

The fan on ours goes off often, but no, no buzzing. Is it still under warrantee? We had to use our warranty, and although lengthy, the customer service was able to (fina;;y) help us.

I got a 1 year warranty from Dell. I had issue with the fan in laptop since it does not have enough space for air supply. It used to overheat. Dell promptly replaced the fan and mother board since it was covered in warranty.

I'm not sure of the warranty, probably like John mentioned, a year. As far as noise goes, I find that it is a LOT quieter than the traditional ceiling mount fans. On top of that, it removes a lot more air too.

The fan comes with a 1-year warranty. You do have to pay to have the item shipped back to the manufacturer, though.

I dont know, but I had their fans fail twice and had to fight with them over their warranty,which stated three years when I purchased it but was changed after I bought it. So far the third one sent me is still working and I am keeping my fingers crossed. I paid approx $200 for this fan and I feel it is way over priced.

Our fan stopped oscillating after the first summer of use. After contacting the company, they requested we mail back the cord in order to replace the fan--same procedure as the reviewer Heck no. However, my husband opened the top of the fan and "brushed off" some stuff--fan is fine.

Didn't see a warranty -- have used the fan for four seasons of festivals and still works like a charm. Powerful for size and only draws 2-3 amps. Seems to be well built and I would recommend.

Our unit worked great for the warranty period and suddenly stopped collecting water - less than a week after the warranty ran out. Must be low or out of freon. Not a good experience with this unit. Fan will run, but unit does not dehumidify. If under warranty, go for it. Good luck.

I guess they last until they don't- ours is still working- you don;t need to plug it in all the time. I suppose you know when it is no longer working- the yellow light won't come on- and you can't see the fan moving or hear the very faint noise of the fan: I would just use a damp cloth to wipe off- do not run under water directly- I usually spray some lysol kitchen spray on a paper towel just to wipe down the plastic parts- not on the plug area.If you are not sure I bet you can Google Sani-Mate to find the company information and call them directly.Have a great weekend!

You can fix the fan yourself. This user posted a video showing how to do it:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjRDjOL8nCYMy 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.

Do you actually own one and had the light go out? My first one I had for about 2 years. I live about a mile from the everglades in South Florida so I run mine 24x7 except for when it is too cold for mosquitoes which means I run it nearly all year and I never had the bulb go out. Its an led and it does not appear that it is replaceable. My guess is that the fan would die first. Mine just got knocked on the floor one too many times.
