Mutoh Cooling fan needed!

My Mutoh VJ1204 started making a different sound than normal. So I spoke with a tech at GRS and he said to take the back panel off and check a certain fan to see if it was clear of dust. When I removed the panel I found the little fan listed in the picture. It seems to have a bad bearing as it makes quite a bit of noise compared to when I bought the printer. Can anyone direct me on where I might be able to buy this fan? I am searching but not real familiar with all the labeling on the back of it. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
RC

Can't find the exact match for your fan, however per the Model 1606KL-01W-B40 data sheet below, you could get by with a different make fan with the specifications being the same:

And in that case I feel confident this fan on ebay would work just fine:

My only concern is it is a 1.0 W versus 0.21A. Keep in mind I just want to make sure I don't smoke a board. Lol I agree brand is not a huge deal as long as it does the job.

We have a couple of 1204s that we are using as parts machines and we can probably take that fan out of one of those units and ship it to you. Let me know if you are interested.

The label on your fan is listing a 5v DC fan motor rated at .21A, and the replacement fan I suggested is rated at .215A, instead of 1.0 W like yours, it is rated just slightly higher at 1.08 W. Not a big deal as most fan motors have a variable rating anyway.

You can get the exact matching fan you have, however the only source I found is China, takes about 20-30 days to get one.

BTW: Regarding a used fan from another machine, I would not recommend that, who knows how many hours they have on them or when they will fail, I found several used fans on ebay that would work for your application, buy why risk using a used fan that could go out anytime, just get a new one, so you will not have to mess with it for a while!
