It's 4 years old, so out of warranty. And support suggested I buy a new unit.
I thought I'd ask on this forum first, if there was a way to make it work without "bricking it" over the fan, especially since this previous person had the same problem.

Was trying to make sure I covered all my bases first before an expensive replacement.
Thanks.
