For a GVFX you don't have to worry about reinstalling the large
o-ring on the perimeter of the case, so you can do it without taking
it off the wall. Don't think I'd disassemble a sealed case unit
without taking it off the wall because it is just about impossible
to get the o-ring back in place. But you have everything removed to
the point that there are only four screws left, so you might not be
saving any time. To protect the ribbon cable during reassembly I put
a heavy piece of paper (like a slick coated business card) over it
that extends to the outside. When the case screws are partially
tightened, the paper is removed.<br>

<div>Hi Ron,</div>
<div> Yes it is field repairable. Just open up the
inverter and the fan is in that outer housing. When
lifting the case up, remember the fan power wire needs
by be unplugged as you lift the case as not to rip it
off the circuit board it is attached to. Then you will
just turn the case over and remove the fan and replace
with the new one. Then carefully plug it back in before
completing the replacement of the case. </div>
<div>If you haven\u2019t opened one up before, the red and
black round plastic spacers on the dc terminals are
screwed off, the six small Phillips head screws removed
from the exposed AC board, and the 8 screws holding the
case to the inverter base removed and lift the case up
part way until you can see the fan wire. </div>

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>
