Talen screen rubbing on fan

Issue

The vent screen for the fan on the Talen is falling off and not properly seated in place. The screen may press against the fan subsequently causing a rubbing or rattling noise.

Explanation of Issue

The glue on the vent screen does not keep the metal grate in place. This is caused by fast movements of the head and the wrong adhesive applied during manufacturing. Over time the screen may peal off from the mount. To adhere the screen back in place use RTV-108 adhesive along the edges to fasten grate.

Tools Required

  •  #1 Philips screwdriver

Fix

  1. Remove front and back cover from the Talen head
  2. Peal off all old glue around perimeter of plastic mount and grate/vent screen  
  3. Re-seat fan grate in mount
  4. Apply RTV-108 around perimeter of mount 
  5. Let the glue cure completely before reinstalling vent screen into unit
