Fan Issues

Yes and I have DJI care..I was just hoping to replace the fan myself rather then go through the nightmare of dealing with DJI. On initial contact I told them the problem they responded with their canned send a video please.

That's why if I need repair to my phantom 3, I will have to do it myself or contact someone else. Dealing with DJI is like dealing with the devil.

Sucks but sounds like your just gonna have to bite the bullet and get it replaced. I have been very lucky on my one repair that I had them do last year on a P4. It was exactly the case that you have. My fan quit working on a P4. They had it back to me under warranty within 2 1/2 weeks.

I hear that drone nerds is another outstanding service repair center in Florida.

I wonder if you get a new camera/gimbal set just because it was making this noise or because it stopped to work?

So check this out, DJI telling me the fan is not sold separately and I would need the entire gimbal camera assembly for $699.99 - unreal

I would think if the copter was never involved in a crash the fan should be replaced under warranty not your DJI Care unless you opened the body of the copter itself up to make a mod of some type then I'm guessing would void any DJI Care regardless ...

Never crashed never opened.

Tonight while idling my drone I heard the fan motor sound like it was intermittently revving up and down until it went quiet all together.

After trying two restarts the fan began to whine again at a steady pace...has anyone had this issue? If the fan stops running what are the risks to the drone?

Have you seen this thread? Some good pics of the fan.

P4 Pro Fan Broken? *Audio* NOT supposed to sound like this + FIX

That's what it meant on my P4 last September! Had to replace whole unit just because the fan stopped working.
