Also the keypad feels very cheap! Luckily it is removeable and has a connector in the back so would be seconds to replace if they are available as spares.
No Can't do anything about the fan it needs it on all the time. Regards the Keypad then yes that's a known fail area over time with these VFD's. Thou if you use spindle speed control thru Software then you hardly ever touch the Keypad so it's not an issues.
If you don't Have spindle speed control then Fit a potentiometer to it and again you'll hardly need to touch it other than pushing run & stop. Most of the keypad use and wear comes from playing and setting speeds. Some where on Forum Clive S described how to do it and what to buy. Clives a Good old lad and he'll be along in a minute to tell you where to find it or how to do it.!
