Ender 3 v3 se fan noise not from hot end

Ender Series Creality Ender-3 V3 KE/SE

Hi All,

I have a reasonably new V3 SE, and I have a loud intermitent fan noise from the base of the printer. It’s not the hot end, but inside the base. Can you help me out here with how to see if it is a fan inside and if so how do I replace it? Many thanks T

Hi
Turn the printer on its side and remove the screws holding the base on.
Ensure you disconnect the printer from the mains supply first.
You will see the fan easily, just check that all the wires are kept away from the blades, other users have found this to be the cause of a noisy fan.
You can replace these, Noctua make one that is particularly quiet if you need real peace.

Hi Kevin, thank you for this, will check it out as soon as, and do a search for the Noctua …

Hey mate how did you go?
Same thing for me but i tap the base till it stops and would really like to stop doing that haha.
I just installed a creality light and do remember seeing the stupid fan/cord placement.
