K7 V2 Fan Replacement

[shakygator]

One of my V2 just started rattling pretty bad. I took it out and cleaned it but it persists. Just gave it a nice greasing so maybe that helps but I would like to try and source a replacement fan just in case. Would be nice to have spares. It's a non-standard fan though due to the way it vents.

This is the only one I found but I'm not familiar with this site: https://www.taobao.com/list/item/674062383435.htm?

12V DF7015 DONGGUAN

That is called a "frameless" fan. It is a 2 wire motor.
Measure the diameter, thickness and mounting distances.

Suitable replacements should be plenty. I would ask NS first. It is $3 fan that sells for maybe $10-$20
Dongguan xiangxin is a large manufacturing company, they don't likely sell parts under that name or model, but produce the same or similar fans sold under different names.

The fan you linked to is likely the same.
Here is another (assuming 49mm)

Yeah I reached out to them on Facebook and they have replacement fans. I don't think they have any frameless right now though, but apparently there is another that works? They're $5 plus shipping.

I was also able to get mine to stop rattling by giving it a nice clean and lubrication.

I just did this because i had a failing fan and my light would overheat. After a little trial and error, this was a perfect fit. I just had to splice in the “plug” from the original fan.
