I ordered a new fan and while I was waiting for delivery cooled the heat sink by running with the side door open and a small electric fan blowing on the heat sink. Worked fine and I kept track of operating temperatures with a down loaded temp. read out. After receiving the fan I removed and reseated the heat sink then installed the new fan. New fan came with out a plug on it so save the old fan. As I recall the new fan cost about $15.00. This was several years ago and the QS is still working fine. A wonderful machine. Hope this helps.
