the small motor fan under the front left hand.

Left hand or right hand. The normal use is your left and right as you stand in front looking at the machine. There are 2 fans that circulate air over the fusing. One is the high speed sirocco fan on the upper right that blows air into the front of the fusing unit cavity. The other is the fusing exhaust fan. It is located near lower right rear at the bottom of the plastic ducting in back of the IH inverter board.

I think these two fans are behind left cover where finisher brackets go where laser unit is I THINK

A lot of times both those thin filters are clogged and both impede air flow,and they sit near the laser unit so i like that area to have good cool air...
Maybe it does or doesnt relate to the laser board from overheating with the sc 101 codes over time..
I rather be safe.

I have had this one fail multiple times. The fan blades actually break causing abnormally high temps in the fuser area. This will also cause IH coil failure.

That's a really old sticker, but it has our name and number on it. I haven't worked on a Nashuatec in like 20 or 25 years.
