I remember seeing it but don't recall if it was sealed. In any case it should be replaceable. It's a matter of whether a case fan can be fit in there.

Just took a look in there. It's a six inch fan and should do a good job. However, ours is wired backwards. It's pulling air in instead of blowing it out. That's why the outside door doesn't open on ours. I pulled the blades off the fan (it's a slide fit) and reversed them but that doesn't correct it. Also reversed the wires on the switch. Same thing. The wires into the fan motor are direct-wired, no connectors to switch. I see the two wires to the fan switch and the two to the light switch are all black wires. All the white wires are wired together into a wire nut. I guess I need to do some experimenting with this to see if I can get the fan motor to run the other way. It's 12v. If anyone has other ideas, I'm all ears.
