[RE-wrenches] OutBack FX Internal Fan Failure

[Wallace Stahle]

Dan,
 That is an Outback stock item called FX/GS fan kit I believe. Cost about 2$20 with additional SS replacement screws included for either inverter.

I just changed one on an early model FX2524.  Pretty simple change. They recommend doing it while it is on its back instead of on the wall and that does help the reassembly quite a bit. 

Good luck,
