Contact the seller, I had a fan problem with mine and the seller took care of the problem very quickly.

I'm not sure, my fan has not had any issues. I assume you could check Air King's website. Good luck!

I had the exact same problem. I don't know why or how the fan cover cannot be removed. I'm guessing I should of emailed the company. Mine ended up breaking and I bought a different brand. Sorry

Just bought mine today and turned it on 4 - experiencing a similar problem: Every several minutes the fan will decrease for a second and then go back to normal. It's almost like a power issue, but I don't notice lights dimming or anything else other than the fan noise for that second...

i have the same problem. bought 3 fans less than a year ago and 2 failed in the last week. i will try and change the fuses but have put Amazon on alert just in case.

Mine does this too, I was told that the fan is turning on and for some reason it is surging. It only does this when in standby mode, does yours do it when in use as well or just stand by?

I usually do not notice any fan noise. Once in a while you'll notice it briefly, then its right back to silent.

Sounds like it's overheating, I had attached a fan to mine and it worked great.

No problem at all. I think the problem with the other customer was installation. Make sure you follow the directions. It's a good quality fan, you won't be disappointed.

Sorry. I got a defective fan and so returned it. Didn't run it for anywhere near that length of time.

I bought one last year and the third time I used it I started having problems with the fan. The fan won't starting running until after it has been on for about 5 minutes. I still use it but I'm sure it's going to completely fail soon.

I have not had any problems with the fan oscillating. I would think it would be a good reason for replacement, maybe take it back where you got it. The only thing I think is it should have a medium setting.

Hi Mike, I didn't have this problem but make sure all your crimps at the connections are tight. Also make sure your stainless steel radiator probe is positioned near the radiator inlet or upper hose as it may be. It should be pretty straightforward and maybe the module itself is defective. Good luck I'm sure you'll figure it out. By the way these fans do a great job and I've noticed no heating problem since the installation in fact it almost runs too cool.Dan

I've had mine since November, the only issue i have with mine is that one of the smaller fans sticks/freezes on start up. With a small "bump" it works fine. Other than that i have no other problems with my unit.

Not the fan, the heatsink. My heatsink did. I took it off, and using my own, but probably not a big difference.

I havent had that problem so far at least. There is a big vent on the left side and little ones on the bottom (covering the fan etc I believe). I don't know if this will let me upload a picture. I turn this off a lot more than I did my pc though, just because it starts again pretty instantly.
