While most LCD/LED televisions are passively cooled (relying on convection through ventilation slots), some models — particularly larger high-brightness sets, OLED TVs, and commercial displays — include internal DC cooling fans to manage heat from the power supply or panel driver circuits. When a fan fails or becomes noisy, the TV may display a warning, reduce brightness, or shut down automatically as a thermal protection measure.
Where to source in Nairobi: DC cooling fans for electronics (5V, 12V, and 24V variants) are available from Nerokas, electronics suppliers in Kirinyaga Road, and computer hardware shops. Fan size (typically 40 mm, 60 mm, or 80 mm for TVs) and voltage rating must be matched exactly.
| Fan Size / Type | Voltage | Estimated Price |
|---|---|---|
| 40 mm DC fan | 5V or 12V | KSh 200 – 600 |
| 60 mm DC fan | 12V | KSh 300 – 900 |
| 80 mm DC fan | 12V | KSh 400 – 1,200 |
| Fan connector / wiring harness | — | KSh 100 – 400 |
| Fan installation (labour) | — | KSh 500 – 1,500 |
Note: TV cooling fans are relatively uncommon parts in the Nairobi repair market (since most consumer TVs don't use them), but 12V DC fans sold for computer cooling are often compatible and widely available.
