You'll pinch the ribbon cable, get really pissed and have to take it off
the wall anyway. I just deal with the tight AC connections, the DC main
lugs that should not be torqued over 7 ft-lbs, and take it off the
wall. Every time. I also now go ahead and do the control board, and the
AC board if the clear covered relays are getting hard to see through
from soot on the inside. I just don't have time any more to run out 3
times in 6 months fixing an old Outback system.
Its really like replacing the timing belt on a car and not replacing the
water pump at the same time. A year from now, you'll wish you did.

Ron,
Easier than board replacement, but you need to open the body up the
same way. The fan is attached to the upper part of the housing - 4
screws and a single connection. Trick will be finding the fan,
although I think lots of distributors still have it in stock.

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.
Ron
