    Yeah, I think I'd clean out that squirrel cage first. It's located on the right side, in the rear column behind the door. You'll have to remove the fuser and some covers to see the fan. The good news is that you probably won't need to remove or replace the fan. Just take a spring hook and pick out the giant ball of fuzz obstructing air passage.

    This photo is from an Alphard I Zeus, not an Alphard I Venus, but the effect is the same:

    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

      Is that the main power rocker?

          What Blackcat said. I've never had to replace one, only clean them out. There's a bulletin for a filter that sticks on the outside, to keep you from having to tear it apart to clean it.
          Hope that helps !

            Thank you ! . Since the photo shows it to be just to the left of the main power switch I'm thinking the slide our fuser access door. So the fuser comes out and then remove the panels that cover the main power switch, is that right?

              That's correct. Depending on the environment, you may also remove the metal cover over the IH PWB and blow it off. Sometimes the heat sinks will get buildup on them also, not allowing for proper cooling.
              Hope that helps !

                Thank you ! I just couldn't figure out where that fan was located. I found that fan next to the switch just to the left and up a little in parts manual but it says it is 302K994360 PARTS FAN COOLING LSU 60 SP. Is that the same fan, LSU sends me to Laser Unit ? I'm really not this dense but sometime you just cant seer the forest for the trees.
                Once again thanks for all your help !

                    It looks like 302K994360 to me also. Not sure why it says that unless it's used in both places.
                    The add on filter is 302N494240.
                    Hope that helps !

                        Most of the time the fan just needs cleaning. I have replaced this fan on a couple of Zeus, but it did not solve the issue. I have replaced one or two IH boards over the years. =^..^=

                            I got over there today and not much fuzz in the fan but it was to the point of being locked up so had to order it That is one PITA getting to it and replacing it but I could have never found it without the help, thanks again !
