Hi- I was wondering if anyone who has a sunstar 332 3f has every had a problem with their side body fans rattling/vibrating very loudy? And how you fixed it? Or anyone who has side fans doing this?

Thanks!

Unbalanced fan from dust buildup most likely.

Fan is going bad. Cheap fan with sintered bushings instead of ball bearings. Just change the fan. You can find it by the noise and it will strobe in the light from the bed. It will look like it is going backwards when it is rattling.

I agree replace the fan.

Thanks for all the advice ... I called a tech...not ETS...he helped me solve the problem... I was describing it wrong I guess...to me it sounded like the fan because the noise was seemed to becoming from the middle side fan...but it was the metal above it (remember, I'm not very technical, but I'm learning :) so he told me to take the metal enclosed part off and put pieces of electrical tape on one side of the metal to stop the vibrating also known to me as the rattling noise...and it worked!
