CBR-101 BLOW FAN

The fan, which is inexpensive and easy to replace, can accumulate encrusted residue over time, resulting in reduced effectiveness. This, in turn, can result in premature heater failure. If you are replacing the heater assembly, I recommend also replacing the fan at the same time.
The availability of replacement and easily replaceable parts, instructive videos, accessible customer support, and prompt shipment make the Gene Coffee Roaster an excellent choice for those who want a machine that will continue to function for a very long time.

Replaced our original fan with this one easily using the AWESOME video. Now our 12+ year old Gene Cafe is MUCH quieter... No more grinding / rattling noise which like the other review could SOMETIMES be eliminated by smacking the roaster. NO MORE !!!

Please tell the gentleman in your technical department how much we appreciate his advise in troubleshooting our machine. We traced the problem to a bad fan. Your replacement part prices were extremely reasonable and shipping was speedy. We love our roaster are very happy to have it working again!

the bearings on my old fan went out years ago, so every time I roasted there was a rattle.
I would hit the machine, often the chirping would go away to what I thought was normal.

Then the time for a new heater coil came and i thought shoot.. I'll replace the fan too. So glad i did.

My roaster is now `quieter than normal`
