Hi
I have a 12/240v coolbox that I use in the car while travelling to and from Spain once or twice a year
For what we need it’s been brilliant.
Since March we have used it in the house as a backup for cans bottles etc as we are both shielding.
It’s been on 24/7 for about 3.5 months.
Now the fan has become a bit hit and miss , hardly surprising.
So I thought I’d find a fan somewhere to replace it.
I can’t seem to Locate a fan anywhere
Apparently I’m advised to throw the box away and buy a new one.
I am a great believer in repairing and reusing all sorts of items, so can anyone point me at a repairer of cool boxes please, so I can try to obtain a suitable fan?
It’s a Chinese part EFS-12e12h dc fan.
with 2 impellers.
Thanks

Yep, Aldi got them in at £39.99 so not economical to repair.

just from a quick google, it may be a fairly standard 120mm fan.
If that's the case then any computer shop will be able to supply a replacement.
I would probably just look for any 12v fan that will fit in the space, and glue it in if you have to.

The 2nd pic shows auxiliary impeller removed to show part number
The impeller shape is critical to force air sideways across the Peltier heat sink
