Fan Quit
The fan failed on my unit so I replaced it with one that says MagLev on the back. I don't know what kind of bearing it has. It seems implied it somehow magnetically levitates? We'll see how long it lasts, these little fans really have to scream to move enough air through the enclosure. It looks like the enclosure also doubles as a bug catcher.

Thank you.
One tip learned on an earlier thread here.
Peel back that label and put a single small drop of lube (I use the clear tubes that have a milky lubricant inside). Put the label back on and the kiwis have been running for a year with no more fan probs.
