Introduction

After +/- 3 years of 24/7, the fan of the particle meter has worn out. The fan is making a terrible noise.

    • When removing the screen with the suction handle and a jimmy be very careful at the right side of the screen and don't damage the connection like I did. See red circle.

    • Carefully remove the screen towards the front. The screen is clued with some tape, see the orange marker.

    • Maybe use some heat to soften the clue.

    • I used a combination of a suction pad and Jimmy.

    • Sensor is held by the 10 pin connector

    • Don't let the springs jump away

    • By slightly bending the cover you can lift the cover from the sensor housing

    • 5 little philips screw hold the sesnor PCB in place. To access the fan connector you have to remove the pcb

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Thank you for the guide! The part number for a replacement sensor appears to be PMS7003. There are some minor cosmetic differences but it appears to function correctly. I would suggest conducting a calibration routine / making sure the sensor is exposed to exterior air a few times over the next few days.
