I recently noticed some seemingly excessive heat coming from the fuseholders on my Fanzilla. A few days ago I asked the question about rewiring the Fanzilla plugs to bypass the breaker. I did that, which reduced the heat a little, but still not enough for my personal comfort. It sounds like your Fanzilla is fried, but for others with Fanzillas & too much heat, here's what I did: 1: Remove and clean the fuses & fuseholders. They're probably clean already, but it doesn't hurt. 2: On the "caps" for the fuseholders, the fuses are retained by pressure from a small piece of metal that's bent outward. It's tough to describe, but you'll know what I mean when you see one. I used a small screwdriver to pry it outward a little more & improve the connection between the caps & the fuses. 3: Still not comfortable with the amount of contact between the fuse & the cap - and I know this is a seriously "ghetto" solution but it works - I balled up a little tinfoil & stuck it in the top of the cap. If you look into the top of the cap, there isn't a whole lot of metal to metal contact between the fuse & the cap. After doing these 3 things, the Fanzilla fuseholders get warm, but not outright hot like they used to get. I also followed it up by cleaning the cooling fan motor plugs with some contact cleaner spray. All of this is YMMV as I doubt all Fanzilla units were made with identical parts. -Luke & 10270 ----- Original Message ----- >>noticed the fanzilla unit is hot and seems to be a bit deformed from >>the heat and seems to have something that rattles inside.
