Title: Twin internal fans
Post by: dapdan on April 05, 2017, 07:59:36 PM
All

Is there anyway to repair the twin fans on the controller. Both seems to have stopped and one has to put a fan on the controller to keep the temp down. Or does one have to replace them when they stop working.

West,

LOL. I have been busy with work. Working on a new 450Rm resort here on island. It is proposed to be a cogen resort. Sam lord's Castle in St. Philip, Barbados.

Thanks for the video link West. I suppose I would just need the fans now. I was looking around on Midnite website and did not see any for sale. Maybe Ryan/Midnite could advise me in this regard.

Cheers...

Looked at the video for the older controller...quite involving. The controller in question is one of the early ones CL221, so it has some mileage on it. Thank goodness for the back mounted fans.
