We feel that there is not really a wrong way to install the fan. We recommend having the fan blow into the cabinet if it’s located near the bottom and out of the cabinet if it’s located near the top. We base our premise on the fact that heat rises and that you want to get all of the hot air out of your cabinet. That being said, however, any fan that you install in your cabinet should help with air flow. Another thing is that we try to put the side that does not spin to the outside of the cabinet that way the cabinet does not interfere with the fan.

We have also featured your question on episode 13 of our Q&A podcast. Please listen to it for more of our thoughts on your question. Thank you for your question and good luck with your future repairs.

I begin projects with great confidence now.
Can the fan be installed wrong (direction wise) ?
The fans I have mount either way. Meaning screw holes are found on either side of the fan case. The blades are obviously closer to one side. I’m not sure which way I would mount the fan.
