1993 T-2053 Sqealing converter

[sfven]

All, I have a 1993 T2053 in great condition. This past weekend while camping the converter started to squeal like crazy. Upon inspection there is a fan inside that was making the noise, which I disconnected for the weekend.

Could a 115V muffin fan be used in place of the fan or is it a special fan?

Hi sfven

I do not know the brand/model of your converter but I have lived thru the cement mixer sounding fans of a converter….

If yours looks like this, then you may be in luck.




There are 2 options for that fan.

1. Search out the manufacture and call them with the model/serial number. Fans are a common repair parts.

2. If the converter place is put of business or no longer part available, read the label on the fan and get the voltage and current off of it. Odds are it very similar to a computer muffin fan. There are online electronic places that sell them and or take it to a computer repair store and they can maybe match up the voltage/current.

Many of these are 12Volt DC.

Hope this helps

PS if you need, take a pic of the label so we can read it and we can help search too if you come up dry.
