Hi,

the idea behind the Sog system is to have the blade open - therefore the fan running - during the whole "session" Wink

In your case, Pusser, obviously the microswitch that activates the fan was not properly mounted, and has fallen off.

Best Regards,

As Boff said, it seems that the micro switch assembly was not fitted properly. Some people depend solely on the adhesive to hold it in place and do not use the plastic rivet that is supplied.

Thankyou for pointers. I never found a plastic thingy not that I looked but will do a search this morning. Certainly the back of it had some adhesive on as it did stick on when pressed but obvously it was not secure enough. Are they cpu fans in the door as I wondered if I could swap it out for a super silent quality fan that would not only create a bigger airflow but as I once mentioned before, take some of the strain out of going. Same way a drain unblocker works realy Cool

The macro switch is no more as when I mended it, I broke it off. Sad

The adhesive pad used for sticking the switch in place seemed a bit iffy to me when I fitted my Sog so used a de-greaser to clean everything first and it still didn't stick so I used super-glue to fix it. I realized that if the switch ended up in the wrong position then it might not be removable again but thankfully it was right first time. If it had failed then I was prepared to fit a manual flick switch somewhere in the loo cupboard,, and if the switch ever drops off or fails then that's how I'll fix it

It must have been the start of the switch falling off that gave rise to unusual techniques you found nessessary

The Sog fan is not a CPU cooler but of quite a different design. Having said that it would not be too much trouble to fit a CPU fan in place as long as there is clearance inside of the door,,,,,, don't forget the charcoal pad,,,,,, think of your neighbours Shocked

Fitting an oversized fan might lead to things turning out ,,,,, not as you planned Surprised

My Sog, which I have installed by myself, came with a plastic rivet to attach the micro switch assembly. The sticker on its own is not enough for long-term operation.
