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.

Hi Ron,
Yes it is field repairable. Just open up the inverter and the fan is in
that outer housing. 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
Easy swap.

Most of the major wholesalers carry this part.
Don’t waste your time calling OB.
Replace the temp sensor while you are in there.

Also, make sure the ribbon cable is tucked away against the transformer so you
don’t pinch it.

Field replaceable, just like any work inside the inverter be very carefull
to protect the ribbon and when removing front cover the fan is plugged into
a board and you can damage the board if you are pull the cover to far away

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.

has anyone successfully done this without removing the inverter from the wall?

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
Supper easy to do hanging on the wall, yes be carfull of the ribbon so use
a nylon wire tie to protect the the ribbon when putting the cover back on.
The wire tie goes perpendicular to the ribbon as you slide the cover back
on. Easy!

Greetings Ron,
Yes they are quite simple to replace and inexpensive as well. I highly
recommend purchasing Outback replacement parts from zonnaenergy.com as they
offer great support and often have more replacement parts than Outback
themselves. Count on 45 minutes to an hour 15 to remove all th
Yes but it faster to remove it than fight the boards shifting.
Best trick I know is to cut a slot in the DCA so you can pull it out without
removing the cables first. Of course you have to remove it to cut the slot.
