Xbox One making slight rattling noise near the fan area.

stevieBOIxx · Sep 1, 2015

Ive had two Xbox One's. The first had a relatively silent fan, and you could hear only air being pushed out. However, with the second console, I hear a slight rattling sound near the fan. Should I be worried? What could be causing this?

Fan Rattling Noise

Had Xbox One since December. Has recently started making a rattling noise from the fan. Noise is only produced if console is sitting horizontally, tilting it either way will make it stop. I'm guessing the fan could be hitting something, or is loose. Any
advice?

Hey RegencyDuck7094! You will most likely need to have the console repaired, head over to
Device Support to get that process started. If you have any issues, contact support

here. Thanks!

Hey mate,

Yeah, rattling is never good I would personally wait a day or two to see if it stops, and if it didn't would then send it in for repair. It sounds like it is a physical problem with the console, so there is not a lot we can provide to help unfortunately

Here is the link to get it serviced in case you don't have it already:

You may try to change the position of your console and see if the noise is gone, sometimes dust caught in the fan can cause it to make rattling noise.

It doesn’t turn off by itself but the sound it makes isn’t like a fan sound, it sounds like your holding a piece of plastic onto a fan blade and it makes a rattling noise.

Is this a fatal issue for my console. And if it is do you know how much a repair/replacement would be? Thank you for your response.

If its bothering you, you should return it for a replacement. Was it purchased online or from a store?

Whilst a warranty repair is certainly an option with it only being a week old, personally, I'd look at returning it for replacement in the first instance.
