[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1409019, member: 24098"] I agree with Chas - you may just need to clean the inside of the machine to optimize air flow. One important point - if you do open it and use compressed air, be sure to hold the fans still while spraying and spray in short bursts. You don't want to overspin the fans, as that can be bad for the bearings. Also, you don't want to spray in a continuous manner, which can cause condensation. [/QUOTE]
