Fan button fail: Anyone else tried?

I expect this remote has crud under the button. Sometimes the plastic template oozes thick liquid which interferes with the button action, and cleaning with alcohol does help but it's temporary. You may be able to renew the button action with a repair kit like Chemtronics, CircuitWorks, Rubber Keypad Repair Kit. That would also be a temporary fix because remotes wear out. 10 months is pretty short - mine has worked for 4 years now.

I don't think you can turn it off. Unfortunately, many similar fan & cooler buttons produce similar sounds, none of which can be turned off.

I'm not sure, my fan has not had any issues. I assume you could check Air King's website. Good luck!

This particular switch will not work on fans that aren't remote controlled .

Mine works great. You must have already tried adjusting the thermostat on the small electrical box that is attached to the fan. Actually my fan turns on at the right time, but fails to turn off soon enough for my taste. This is because the hysteresis is a bit much. I hope this helps, stay cool.

Hi Roger, Yes! you are in luck! I ran into the same situation setting up my fan system. I bought my fan kits at Amazon, and purchased extentions directly from coolerguys.com. By the way, I've had my fans for almost a year now, and they are just as quiet as the day I set them up. Do yourself a favor and buy the fans with the thermostat option if you have not done so already. It is the way to go. Good luck with your system, your making the right choice, its a high quality product.

Mine works well, fans are very loud. They sent me replacements haven't installed yet...

i have the same problem as well, the fan is really noisy when in the mode of battery saving!

I had that problem intermittently too. I search forums and that along with the fan speed only working at high or low velocity were indicators of a bad resistor.

The switch itself is fine.... its the circuit board in the fan that is the problem. If you can avoid it buy a fan that doesn't need a specific/special switch.

I don't know if you've tried, but when my filter was plugged in after cleaning and "didn't work" I looked down at the little fan thing on the left side, poked at it and it started right up. Something had jammed the fan....maybe try that. Otherwise, I found directly from the company to be the only way.

Nope. The fans are always on. There is no separate button for them. They are pretty quiet though and I find they help circulate the air, so I think its a good thing.

My fan only has one light ... the up light button and the down light button do the same thing (turns on, turns off and hold to dim)

Your suggestion sounded the best and easiest, so I tried and it worked. Now the fan is clean and works as well as ever. Thanks!

I have the same problem sometimes. I think that I turn it all the way clockwise then back all the way to the left or just turn it until the fans kick on. Is everything installed correctly? Won't hurt to double check and make sure the temp probe is secure.

1st You need to make sure the power SOURCE, &/or the PSU itself is not corrupt. Move to another known good AC outlet, disconnect all the cables from the motherboard & plug the PSU directly to the AC outlet with a known good power cable & verify that the fan powers on. (The unit still could be defective, but at least you'll know if it powers on). Plug everything back into the motherboard making sure you have the power connector "clicked" into place & that you confirm 20 or 24 pin connector. try it again. If it doesn't work, you likely have a few blown components on the motherboard.

Not the fan, the heatsink. My heatsink did. I took it off, and using my own, but probably not a big difference.
