new fan

[RJones]

Hey

The fan has seized on my 944 so need to gett it replaced. Have any of you had this done, estimated cost etc. Also do I need a specialist 944 fan or do fans come in standard sizes?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Becky

I'd just go to a breakers and pick up the fan and surround - 1/2 hour job to replace at most.

Many thanks for the websites.

Without wanting to sound like a complete idiot.... if the fan has seized will I just need to get the actual fan or will I need bearing/belts etc?? Any idea how much it will cost?

Cheers

Hi
Thats why Id buy a secondhand unit - bolts/screwes straight on and electricial connections are limited to 1 X
2 pin plug.
Dont know about cost - would guess s/h not a lot as its not a very common problem.
Is it a single or twin fan set - that may influence costs.
