HELP with exausht fan +rep for quick replies

Alright so my exhaust fan was working fine pushing enough air out to keep my box in the temps where i wanted them. But then later today the fan stopped working correctly and only pushes a minimum amount of air out and my box temp is 104 F

HELP PLEASE

How long have you had the fan? what type of cord/extension you using? what type/size is the fan? is it a vortex?, I had the same issues with a Vortex.

u may need to invest in a fan that pushes more CFM

could it have been wired incorrectly?sounds like it has a short in it.

Are you using a fan speed controller or is it wired direct? If it's wired direct then you should look at getting a replacement. Sucks, but shits made cheap now-a-days.

it was a fan that had a speed control but i took it apart
and used the ac adaptor cord to wire it directly

This too. Always go with a fan that's bigger so you can dial it down so it's not straining.

Try a new adapter, might have shorted.

What's your intake situation? Is there a window or duct that used to be open and is now closed? If there's no way for new air to get in then that could also reduce the effectiveness of your exhaust fan and raise your temps.

its in my closet

sounds like it just burned up... buy a new fan
