Replacement Fan for Flex 5000a

The fan on my Flex 5000a is making noise. It is noisier for the first two minutes after startup and then gets a little bit quieter but I think it may be time to think about a replacement.
Does anyone know where I can obtain a replacement fan for a 5000a?
Thank you - Jerry

Although I don't think Flex directly supports the 5000 any more, it might be worth a call to them (or submit a Help Ticket) to see if they could at least point you in the right direction (i.e. specs for the replacement).

If it were me I'd look at the fan to see the make and model as a starting point. Then see if the manufacturer still make the same model or find an equivalent model from the same or different manufacturer.

This should be an ok fit for the 5000a fan.

The fan will plug right in, you just need to elongate the holes for mounting.
