This is a long shot but possible try find a similar fan with specs and rebuild with the new fan..
Contacted igloo again and spoke to warranty dept. instead. They'll see what they can do but I'm still looking just in case.If such fans are unobtainable, no one would have them. Then what's the point of searching for them?
Danny knows how to solve a problem, focus on the letter of the question rather than the intent of the question. Way to go. Done deal! Thanks for solving this Danny. We are apparently done here, you can move on to something else.If such fans are unobtainable, no one would have them. Then what's the point of searching for them?
I would but can't see a non destructive way to do it.This is a long shot but possible try find a similar fan with specs and rebuild with the new fan..
It might be the wrong fan but might work for parts in order to rebuild.The IC must of went then. Apparently, igloo had the fans custom ordered. The cold side fan also has a model number that brings up the wrong fan... If worst case scenario, how can I calculate what size blower fans I can use such as those for servers? Basically, if I can't get the OEM parts, how can I measure to use universal standard fans?
I'm puzzled as to why you think replacement parts should be easy to find and readily available. Planned obsolescence and breakdowns of proprietary parts are how a company can grow revenues. Repair was in vogue when people got paid $2.00/hr, but that era was a long time ago. People are way too expensive for products to be designed with repair in mind. They also void the warranty if you take things apart. Of course if the thing is dead what difference does it make?Yes. The power is split three way at the incoming connection. But I did pull it apart tonight and test it seperatly. Dead. How can this fan be so hard to find as is? I really hope igloo comes through. What's bad is, the email I received from them states it may take up to a week to get back to me because they have a high volume of inquiries received... That's not good. What happened to igloo being the go to brand for lifelong coolers? I bought this thing in march and its already got a dead part.
Yeti, but consumer thermoelectric chillers have never been much more than a novelty. I have one on my desk at work. They're useful where extreme compactness and quiet are important but a refrigerant-based refrigerator can create a much higher thermal difference faster using less energy.What happened to igloo being the go to brand for lifelong coolers?
