Vent Axis Sentinel Kinetic

[Pocster]

Can't tolerate the fan bearings grinding anymore.

Called Vent Axia and luckily they have new fan motors in stock!!

 

So ordered!

 

Anyone swapped one before? Easy or PITA?

This is for bearings but probably a step earlier.

Got any glazing for sale?

Yeah I saw that . It’s unclear how you access the fans . I’ll wait until the replacement turns up - take the heat exchanger out ; have a look and decide how brace I feel

New fan turned up .

Easy enough to unscrew it but it won’t clear the panel and cabling goes into front “ somehow “ . I’m sure I’ve read that the entire section slides forwards somehow ….

Anyway ; put it back together for now and emailed vent axia with “ what do I do now ? “

They promised me when I ordered the part that I could use technical support if I needed to, so....... hopefully.....

[Andehh]

Fingers crossed! Let us k ow how you get on

Well tbf after a few emails I think I know what I’m doing . Being honest there were only a few ways and 2 screws left to deal with .

Prefer when manufacturer gives guidance rather than go in blind and rely on hope / luck .

Will go for it in a few days .

Hmmmm - let’s make this as much as we can thought vent axia

[Pocster]

Black and blue are usually the same so (expletive deleted) it

Done !

Not the most fun ; a few spare screws …. Clearly not a user serviceable device !
