Introduction
The fan in the Epson VS250 projector helps prevent the projector from overheating. The projector has multiple components that produce heat, but the fan helps cool these components down. This reduces the chance that the projector catches fire when dust particles enter.
This guide will show you how to replace the fan, but before continuing with this guide, check the Air Filter guide, which is a more common cause of overheating and easier to fix. The Fan replacement guide requires more time and has a higher difficulty.
Before you begin this repair, power off and unplug your Epson VS250 projector.
