[RE-wrenches] GVFX3524 fan replacement

[Jay]

Most of the major wholesalers carry this part. 

Don’t waste your time calling OB. 

Replace the temp sensor while you are in there.

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.

>> Hi Wrenches, 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.
