As title, mine needs replacing as the fan only works on 4 (highest setting), any tips on how to swap it out?
Watched this video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjBghKd3_z0

But unfortunately I don't have the hands of a 6 year old to get the faulty one out and new one in

It's not expensive or difficult.

Just buy one off the bay and get on with it.

I have the part and have attempted to replace it but as I said I don't have hands the size of a 6 year old,I just can't get my hand in enough to unclip the old one and remove it

Ahh, never said you wouldn't get injured!

A job is never done properly unless you bleed on it.
