Rust on the Engine Fan Grille – What to do to solve it

🧾 Understanding the Issue

Rust on the fan grille of your Icetubs Engine is rare. All fan grilles are coated to resist corrosion, but rust may still occur if the protective coating is damaged by impact or friction.

If rust appears more than 3 months after installation, it is no longer covered under warranty. Replacement is still available for a small fee.

🧠 Common Causes of Fan Grille Rust

• Movement or shifting of the engine during setup or cleaning

• Minor impact damage that weakens the grille coating

• Placement in humid, coastal, or chemical-rich environments

• Prolonged outdoor exposure without overhead protection

🔧 Available Solutions

1. Try At-Home Rust Removal

For small patches of surface rust, many customers have resolved the issue using simple solutions like:

• Anti-rust cleaner

• A paste made from baking soda and water

• Lime juice mixed with salt

2. Replace the Fan Grille

If you'd prefer a replacement, we can ship a new fan grille directly to you.
The part costs €25, plus shipping. Installation is simple:

• Unscrew the 4 screws holding the grille in place

• Remove the old grille

• Attach the new one using the same screw points

📜 Warranty Reminder

Rust on the fan grille that appears after 3 months of use is not covered under the Icetubs warranty.
The warranty does cover factory coating defects within the first 3 months.
