You need to remove the ACC control panel and then withdraw the fan backwards out of the dash and out through the hole left by the ACC panel, un-plug, clean and give the bearings a dash of lubricant (not too much mind otherwise the dust will stick in no time!). Put everything back and congratulate yourself on having saved 50 of our English pounds - not sure how much one costs in the colonies. While you are at it, do a re-calibration (hold down AUTO and <=> on the controls), sometimes that fixes problems. You should end up with a zero showing at the end of the re-calibration before the display returns to the set temperature, any other number indicates a fault(s) and most likely means a trip to a dealer with the diagnostic kit.
