How to Clean PS5 Fan and Remove it! (Fix Loud FAN Noise)

[@dakotamiller37]

Commenting to add to the algorithm.

Good vid, but an easy way, buy a small fine brush (kindof like the ones used to paint corners of interior walls) the fibers will go deep enough to scrub the fins and knock the dust loose, take your time on both sides and use a vaccume to catch the rest. This way you avoid breaking anything. I did it two days ago, fan looks brand new.

I did that and bought a can of compressed air. Both combined did the job and a quick vacuum to remove and bit left over

If you don’t have the right screwdriver setup for the fan screws, then you can still get the job done by using an air duster spray can to spray the blades. and you can catch the dust with a vacuum hose. Usually the top back vents of the console. Try to spray only in the direction the fan is supposed to spin.

[@loopbloke]

At 4:52 before you blow compressed air, make sure to cover the remaining open part of the pS5 with a cloth and then blow. That way you will not blow the dust back into the machine.

[@averydizzle]

Just use the hand attachment of a vacuum. Don’t blow and get the dust in the air and everywhere else, not to mention probably throwing some of it back in the PS5. I suggest just grabbing the vacuum and using the hand / tube attachment. I’ve got a regular bissel household vacuum and it works wonders

[@tetra3000]

Had mine since Day 1 of launch and there wasn't a lot of dust in there so probably wasn't worth the hassle for me but its easily done and designed to be cleaned without voiding the warranty hence why the sticker is not touched. Just thought I give people an idea to how much dust will be in there after this period of time, however it really depends on the conditions you keep it in and whether you do plenty of dusting around where it sits.

[@DreadBoi504]

That’s amazing 😮 going that long and for it to not be a lot of build up. I mean… mine wasn’t the worst but it could use some dusting off. Thanks to this video, I was finally able to clean it and make it look brand new. I got a whole entire toolbox with wrenches, sockets and bits so I already had all tools necessary. Eventually…you’ll have to do the same or have it done for your PS5 too. No matter how clean, there’s just no escaping dirt/dust buildup.

[@matthewtr]

I'm in the same boat, have had my PS5 for 3 years and never cleaned fan but now it over heats and pretty sure it's because dust build up.

[@francescomusa5372]

Thanks so much man. Gained a subscriber. Got my PS5 for 15 months and dust was starting to be unpleasantly visible on grid and part of the fan. Followed this, and now is as clean as new. The only part where I struggle was removing the front plate. Important: the screwdriver that fits better is a T8 security torx. To clean the fan properly help yourself with canned air and a dust catcher to reach the tricky part between the blades. I used the screwdriver to help me push the dust catcher deep between the blades. Hopes this helps!

[@TheGlotz69]

You forget to blow out or clean out the insides for dust! There's huge dust bunnies in/on the power supply and the heat sinks inside the unit. Missing key elements here to prevent overheating, no matter how well one cleans the fan itself. Thank you for the correct screw positions though, and size of the driver/type.

[@Redturret]

I thought i had to take the fan out by disconnecting it but it seems i don't. thanks for the easy to follow video, i cant wait to get stuck in and clean her up. My new internal ssd has been shutting down the console so i assume its over heating and needs a good clean out. It never once shut down before i installed the ssd.

Great video. Very easy to follow and cleaning the fan is that easy. I say easy, I cleaned two PS5 and really struggled with the smallest of the fan screw (bottom left of the video). I stuggled to remove one and couldn’t the other. Not sure if it’s a design problem - can’t be a coincidence that the same screw wouldn’t unscrew.

9:43 "Now this is very easy to put back on". Yeah right. I caught my tail trying to get it back on. Just wouldn't click in. Lost count of how many times I tried. Was just about to give up and call a PS5 repair guy to ask him if I could come over for him to put the covers back on for me in shame. By some stroke of luck after the 20th time I heard a click and it fell in place Amen. This was the cover for the disc side. The other side with the PS logo went in pretty easy though. Unfortunately when I took off the covers I realised I didn't have the screwdriver for that type of stupid screw so I wasn't able to unscrew to get at the fan and clean. Guess I'll have to go looking for that and clean another time as per the tutorial. I wiped as best I could and sprayed some compressed air for now.

Great video but the biggest recommendation I can give is unplug the fan before cleaning it's super simple also be careful with compressed air it can cause damage

[@Rawzix]

Why unplug it? The cable is very sensitive and it’s easy to break it if you pull on it plus the pins could bend if you wiggle it. Theres literally no reason to unplug the fan since you can access it while it’s still plugged in like he showed in the video…

[@bridgeboy4126]

Unplugging while giving a deeper clean has more risks involved, its better if your less experienced to just do it the way shown here

Maybe the screws aren't in snug enough 🤔 it's the only way the fan can rattle about. Just double check that.

[@bilalrafiq7884]

The same happened to me. I made sure I was careful taking off the covers and I only used a vacuum gun to get dust off without even opening the fan yet as I needed to get the right screwdriver (thought it would be the same as ps4 but it requires a T9 with a hole in the middle to grip the screw) anyway, I can hear slight "coil whining" when I load up a game now which has concerned me a bit. I know it doesn't cause any issue but I'd rather it be silent as it was before 😒

Thanks, I might have forgotten the screw order when reassembling 😄. I will say my strategy was slightly different...my fan was caked. I used cotton buds (q-tips) to loosen the dust, then one of those low power car vacuum cleaners to lift it. Took a while but I can confirm it still works after reassembly 😀👍

Great idea!! I used the q-tips to clean the fan and it worked great, no need to remove it.

@@morning.cereal Nice one! Glad it helped 👍

I don't have tools so I've just been cleaning out my fan with Q-tips can that damage your fan if it's spins while it's off like would it burn out the motor

Great video tutorial, please, is there anyone who can help me? When I want to clean the ps5 fan, should I disconnect the entire fan from the ps5 to be sure? I saw on other videos that most people did it that way, this guy just turned the fan over and cleaned it, don't I have to worry about the cable disconnecting?

[@-_-jacob9978]

Yes don't disconnect the wire

[@bridgeboy4126]

This ultimately depends, someone will go the full disconnect route, for a more indepth clean but you need to be incredible careful doing it that way, if you aren't sure of it follow what the dude is doing in this video.

Short and accurate. Great, helpful vid. Thanks.
