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 and remove
the fan and replace with the new one. Then carefully plug it back in
before completing the replacement of the case.
If you haven’t opened one up before, the red and black round plastic
spacers on the dc terminals are screwed off, the six small Phillips head
screws removed from the exposed AC board, and the 8 screws holding the case
to the inverter base removed and lift the case up part way until you can
see the fan wire.
