<p>You'll pinch the ribbon cable, get really pissed and have to take
it off the wall anyway. I just deal with the tight AC
connections, the DC main lugs that should not be torqued over 7
ft-lbs, and take it off the wall. Every time. I also now go ahead
and do the control board, and the AC board if the clear covered
relays are getting hard to see through from soot on the inside.
I just don't have time any more to run out 3 times in 6 months
fixing an old Outback system. <br>
</p>
<p>Its really like replacing the timing belt on a car and not
replacing the water pump at the same time. A year from now,
you'll wish you did.<br>

<div dir="auto">Ron,
<div dir="auto">Easier than board replacement, but you need to
open the body up the same way. The fan is attached to the
upper part of the housing - 4 screws and a single connection.
Trick will be finding the fan, although I think lots of
distributors still have it in stock.</div>

I have a client with an Outback GVFX3524 inverter that has had
a fan failure. I will check with Outback but thought I might
get a head start here. Is this a field replaceable item? I
know the boards are but not sure about the fan. Any info much
appreciated, thanks.<br>
