Are they still under warranty? I would contact tech support.

Contacted them (or sent an email atleast) hoping they will say send it in. But then I gotta pay shipping

Thanks for your reply, chrisfish gave me advice! Much appreciated! I figured it's something (obviously) in the fan or near it. Just hoping it's not on its way out. I'm sure it's easily replaceable. Just don't wanna have to do it

Hummmm $20 for shipping or $450 for a new light. I have read here we're it was a cooling fan and it was a warranty issue. Here is something here. Could just need a light blast of are to clean it out

Thanks buddy! I appreciate it! I tried earlier blowing into the fan with my mouth but I just don't have enough psi to really do anything lol.
My dad has an air compressor but he lives an hour away.

Gas station. At the office supply stores they sell cans of compressed air to clean key boards. I think that would work best. You do not want to go to high psi the everything is messed up @cameronh

Haha, I'm an aircraft painter, I work with psi all day bro! Lol I think 200 psi will work just fine[emoji12]
They really sell compressed air in a can? Haha I've never heard of that

Probably an indication fan is on its way out. They are the flaw in Kessil A16os design, no user replaceable fan. Bad Kessil, not good enough so i ditched mine and went AI Hydra
