Is your PS5 fan not spinning, making an unusual grinding or rattling noise, or has the internal cooling fan been physically damaged?
Console Wizard provides a professional PS5 fan replacement service for £89.99, including replacement of the faulty or damaged internal cooling fan with a genuine Sony PS5 replacement fan.
This service is intended for an original PlayStation 5 with a mechanically faulty, damaged or non-functioning cooling fan. If your fan is working normally but becomes increasingly loud as the console gets hot, our separate PS5 Full Service may be more appropriate.
PS5 Fan Replacement & Cooling Fan Repair – £89.99
The internal cooling fan is an essential part of the PlayStation 5 cooling system. It moves air through the console and internal heatsink to help control operating temperatures.
If the fan stops spinning, develops faulty bearings, suffers physical damage or can no longer operate correctly, the PS5 may become noisy, overheat or eventually shut itself down.
Our £89.99 PS5 fan replacement service removes the faulty cooling fan and replaces it with a genuine Sony PS5 cooling fan before the console is professionally reassembled and tested.
• Genuine Sony PS5 replacement cooling fan
• Faulty or damaged fan removed
• Professional cooling fan replacement
• Console professionally dismantled and reassembled
• Replacement fan operation tested
• 3-month repair warranty
Common PS5 Cooling Fan Problems
A faulty PlayStation 5 cooling fan can produce several different symptoms depending on the type of failure or damage.
• PS5 fan not spinning
• Fan making a grinding noise
• Fan making a rattling or scraping noise
• Broken or damaged fan blades
• Excessive vibration from the cooling fan
• Fan spinning irregularly
• Fan struggling to start
• PS5 overheating because the fan is not operating
• Console shutting down as temperatures increase
• Fan damaged after the console has been dropped or knocked
If the symptoms are clearly mechanical or the cooling fan is no longer spinning correctly, fan replacement may be required.
PS5 Fan Not Spinning
If the cooling fan inside your PlayStation 5 has completely stopped spinning, we recommend avoiding continued use of the console until the problem has been investigated.
Without a correctly operating fan, airflow through the internal cooling system is significantly reduced. As the console comes under load during gaming, internal temperatures can increase rapidly.
The PS5 may eventually display overheating symptoms or shut itself down.
Our engineers can replace the faulty cooling fan and professionally test its operation before the console is returned.
PS5 Fan Making a Grinding or Rattling Noise
A mechanical grinding, rattling or scraping noise can indicate a problem with the cooling fan itself.
The cause may include damaged fan blades, wear within the fan bearings, contamination or physical damage that prevents the fan from rotating smoothly.
Because the cooling fan rotates at high speed, even relatively small mechanical problems can produce noticeable vibration or noise.
If the sound is clearly coming from the cooling fan and is mechanical rather than simply the normal sound of increased fan speed, replacement may be appropriate.
PS5 Fan Damaged After Being Dropped
A PlayStation 5 that has been dropped or received a significant impact can suffer physical damage to the internal cooling fan.
One or more fan blades can become cracked, broken or distorted. Because the fan rotates at high speed, damaged blades can affect its balance and produce excessive vibration, rattling or other unusual mechanical noises.
If your PS5 developed a new mechanical fan noise immediately after being dropped or knocked, the internal cooling fan should be inspected before continued use.
Genuine Sony PS5 Replacement Fan
For this repair, Console Wizard fits a genuine Sony PS5 replacement cooling fan.
Different original PlayStation 5 revisions can use different internal fan variants, so the appropriate compatible Sony fan needs to be selected for the individual console.
Our engineers identify the appropriate replacement fan before installation and professionally test its operation after fitting.
Professional PS5 Cooling Fan Replacement
Replacing the cooling fan requires the PlayStation 5 to be carefully dismantled so that the fan and its electrical connection can be safely accessed.
The faulty or damaged fan is removed and the genuine Sony replacement cooling fan is professionally installed.
The console is then reassembled and the replacement fan is tested to confirm that it starts, spins and operates correctly.
PS5 Noisy Fan – Do I Need a Replacement Fan?
Not necessarily. A PS5 fan that becomes louder during demanding games is not automatically faulty.
The cooling fan changes speed according to the cooling requirements of the console. If the internal heatsink and airflow system have become restricted by dust and debris, a perfectly functioning fan may operate harder and become increasingly noticeable.
A replacement fan is more appropriate when the existing fan is physically damaged, is not spinning correctly, has faulty bearings or produces abnormal mechanical grinding, rattling or scraping noises.
PS5 Fan Replacement or Full Service?
It is important to distinguish between a faulty cooling fan and a PS5 that requires a complete cooling-system service.
• Fan not spinning – select PS5 Fan Replacement
• Broken or damaged fan blades – select PS5 Fan Replacement
• Mechanical grinding or rattling – select PS5 Fan Replacement
• Faulty fan bearings – select PS5 Fan Replacement
• Fan working but becoming increasingly loud under load – PS5 Full Service may be appropriate
• Console overheating with a normally operating fan – PS5 Full Service may be appropriate
Our separate PS5 Full Service includes complete internal dismantling, deep cleaning of the fan and heatsinks, liquid metal thermal-interface servicing and replacement of the internal thermal strips.
Selecting the appropriate service helps avoid replacing a correctly functioning fan when the underlying problem is restricted airflow or another cooling-system issue.
What If the Replacement Fan Does Not Spin?
If a known-working replacement fan does not operate correctly, the fault may not be with the cooling fan itself.
The fan connector or associated motherboard circuitry can become damaged, particularly if the console has previously been dismantled and the fan connector has been pulled or damaged.
Console Wizard also provides a separate PS5 Fan Connector Motherboard Repair for damaged fan connectors, including component-level repair of damaged motherboard pads and tracks where required.
If testing identifies a motherboard or fan-connector fault rather than a faulty fan, we will advise you before carrying out any additional chargeable repair.
PS5 Fan Connector Damage
The small motherboard connector used by the PS5 cooling fan can be damaged if excessive force is applied during dismantling, cleaning or previous repair attempts.
If the connector has been pulled away from the motherboard, replacing the cooling fan will not correct the problem.
Our dedicated PS5 Fan Connector Repair is intended for this type of motherboard damage and can include reconstruction of damaged pads and tracks before a replacement connector is fitted.
Does Fan Replacement Include a PS5 Full Service?
No. This £89.99 service is specifically for replacement of a faulty or physically damaged cooling fan.
Our PS5 Full Service is a separate cooling-system service for consoles suffering from overheating, restricted airflow or a working fan that becomes increasingly loud under load.
If you would also like the complete internal cooling system serviced, please select the appropriate Full Service option rather than assuming it is included with the fan replacement.
What Is Included in the £89.99 PS5 Fan Replacement?
The £89.99 service includes the replacement fan and professional fitting required to repair an applicable cooling-fan fault.
• Professional PlayStation 5 dismantling
• Existing faulty or damaged fan removed
• Genuine Sony replacement cooling fan supplied
• Replacement fan professionally installed
• Fan connection checked
• Console professionally reassembled
• Replacement fan operation tested
• 3-month repair warranty
The complete PS5 fan replacement service costs £89.99.
PS5 Fan Replacement Warranty
Our PS5 cooling fan replacement includes a 3-month repair warranty.
The warranty covers the original fan fault repaired by this service and begins from the date of repair.
An unrelated cooling-system, motherboard, fan connector, power supply or other hardware fault would not form part of the original fan replacement warranty.

PS5 Fan Replacement FAQs
How much does PS5 fan replacement cost?
Our original PS5 fan replacement costs £89.99. This includes a genuine Sony replacement cooling fan, professional fitting, reassembly and testing.
Do you fit a genuine Sony PS5 fan?
Yes. This repair includes a genuine Sony PS5 replacement cooling fan suitable for the individual console revision.
How do I know if my PS5 fan needs replacing?
Fan replacement may be required if the fan has stopped spinning, has broken or damaged blades, has faulty bearings or produces abnormal mechanical grinding, rattling or scraping noises.
My PS5 fan is very loud. Does it definitely need replacing?
No. A working fan can become increasingly noticeable if the console's internal cooling system is restricted by dust or the PS5 is running hot. In this situation, our PS5 Full Service may be more appropriate than replacing the fan.
Can a faulty PS5 fan cause overheating?
Yes. If the cooling fan is not moving sufficient air through the console, internal temperatures can increase under load and the PS5 may develop overheating or shutdown symptoms.
Can you replace a PS5 fan with broken blades?
Yes. Physical fan damage, including cracked or broken blades, is covered by this replacement service.
My PS5 fan stopped working after the console was opened. Is it definitely the fan?
No. If the console has previously been dismantled, the fan connector or associated motherboard pads and tracks may have been damaged. We provide a separate PS5 Fan Connector Motherboard Repair for this type of fault.
Does fan replacement include the £69.99 PS5 Full Service?
No. Fan replacement and the PS5 Full Service are separate services. The Full Service is intended for cooling-system contamination, overheating and a working fan that becomes increasingly loud under load.
Do you test the replacement fan?
Yes. The console is professionally reassembled and the replacement cooling fan is tested to confirm correct operation following the repair.
Is PS5 fan replacement covered by a warranty?
Yes. A successfully completed PS5 fan replacement receives our standard 3-month warranty covering the original repaired fan fault.
Is this repair for PS5 Slim or PS5 Pro?
No. This service is specifically for the original PlayStation 5. PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro have their own dedicated repair services.
Can I send my PS5 to you for fan replacement?
Yes. Console Wizard provides a UK-wide repair service, allowing customers throughout the country to send their PlayStation 5 to our Bolton repair centre.
