Fan Error every 30-45 minutes

Just got my 3S+ back up and running after a couple of years where I wasn't using it. Everything is great, except that I'm getting fan errors about every 30-45 minutes during longer prints. I can immediately resume without issue, and it will work fine for another 30-45 minutes until another fan error occurs.

Having read the fan replacement guide, I'm eager to try other remedies before I dive into that process.

First clean the fans (a stiff artist's painrbrush works well) and make sure there are no hairs or threads of stringing tangling the hub.

Most of the fans have a sticker sealing the hub on the inside - peel this back, put *one* drop of light machine oil into the hub/bearing and reseal the sticker.

Any better?

Cheerio,
