How to Clean Your Xbox Series X Fan at Home

Following on from the last video, this time I demonstrate how to clean Xbox Series X fan and in the process, I will also show how to disassemble the Xbox Series X.

This is an easy tutorial guide for beginners, or anyone wanting to clean the inside of their Xbox themselves, as after a while, dust can build up and cause overheating issues and other problems.
I try and make this an easy Xbox Series X teardown video anyone can follow at home. 😁

I think it’s a design flaw not being able to remove the top vent cover. Removing the back invalidates the warranty but cleaning is essential and if you can’t clean the fan and vents you risk shortening the life expectancy of your console. They should have had screws or clips holding the top vent cover so it can easily be removed for cleaning the fan. Some people live in more dusty environments than others and for some cleaning maybe a lot needed more regularly.

What a guy! Explained very well! Got tired of mine overheating after 5 minutes on a game. Brilliant video! Even all these years later!

Thank you Mick. My Xbox was constantly crashing and overheating and running so loud I could hear it over the tv at any volume lower than 80😂 since cleaning it’s so quiet I can’t hear it at all and it no longer crashes.

Omigosh thank you!!! I was hesitant to open the console but I was getting "overheat" messages while gaming and so I decided to follow your steps. The console is now as quiet as a kitty whereas it was like a jet engine ready to take off prior to cleaning.

I did everything you said and now my Xbox no longer sounds like a refrigerator thank you so much man much appreciated.

Thanks a lot. what a disaster i had. I had workers at home. Even with my room closed lots of dust and particles managed to get inside. I am doing the cleaning. I want a long Life for my series x. Thanks

Not sure if you still check the comments on videos this old but I really appreciated this tutorial, a tiny splinter of wood fell into my fan and caused it to bind up against the outer case when it attempted to spin and this gave me exactly the info I needed to get the shell off and remove the top fan. Seeing as I got the console second hand and it's out of warranty, this video saved me a bit of money taking it to someone else to disassemble! Thank you Mick 🙏🏼

Thank you, I followed along. My baby was loud, but after deep clean, he is purring gain. Thank you

[ohh_werd]

Thanks buddy, this worked great! I didn't wanna do a deep dive, just a quick clean and this video is on point.

Thank you for making this video.
You made it look easy enough to follow the process.
I've been thinking about cleaning my Series X, but wasn't sure how.
Nor am I certain what a decent time frame is to clean it.
I purchased mid January, and as of this comment, it is early February.
What would you recommend I do?

Perfect video - my xbox kept shutting down as it was overheating, followed this tutorial and the system runs like a dream. Thanks 😊

[zz_the_one]

Dude bro!!! Video was great, had my Series X cleaned and back to near mint in no time! Thank you for the video!

A compressed air can from Walmart does the trick for me without having to remove the back panel. But I think after another year of use I will try this method for a deep cleaning.

Tinker man mick how do i take off the white bit connecting the fan to the xbox

[Eevolved]

Thanks for this I must admit I struggled with the large screw on the fan (middle one) and couldn't undo it probably cos my torx was a cheapy one lol but managed to clean it without removing the fan and now it's as quiet as a mouse so big thanks once again

[AlleyCat]

Thank you for this video! I tried compressed air and could see giant dust bunnies flying around in there, so taking it apart was a must for me. Your video was easy to follow and quick to the point. Also thanks for the precaution tips too, always paranoid i’m gonna screw up something.

[noahasprey]

Quick tip for anyone who doesnt want to take their xbox apart. Use a hairdryer. Done a pretty good job on my Xbox however my kitchen now has dust particles everywhere.

[vincentmartinez]

I hate that I have to deconstruct it to clean it

[sxrvsvct]

My xbox is working as if it was new. Thank you.

I like to fully submerge mine in a tub of soapy water then turn it on and leave it run for a few minutes. It cleans the system right out. Then let it drain and good as new.
