<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>

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.
