Quick answer

The Tube Rear Panel Housing (SKU DXSP095) is a direct replacement for the rear panels on Duux Tube models DXPU03 and DXPU04. Follow the steps below to swap it safely and avoid common fit issues.

Before you begin: check compatibility

This rear panel housing fits the Duux Tube DXPU03 and DXPU04 only. It will not work with earlier Tube versions or other Duux fan lines such as Whisper Flex. If your model number differs, confirm compatibility before ordering.

What you need to know about the part

The replacement panel comes as a bare housing — it does not include screws, clips, or any internal electronics. Use the existing fasteners from your old panel. If they are worn, order a small hardware kit separately.

Step-by-step replacement

1. Unplug and prepare: Disconnect the fan from power and place it on a stable, soft surface. Remove any extension tube or accessories attached to the rear. Common mistake: Forgetting to unplug can risk electric shock. Always disconnect before touching the rear panel.
2. Remove the fasteners: Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove all screws securing the old rear panel. Keep the screws in a small container so they don't roll away. Checkpoint: Count the screws before and after — missing one can cause rattling or poor fit.
3. Detach the old panel: Gently pull the old rear panel away from the fan body. If it resists, check for any hidden clips or adhesive tape before applying more force. Checkpoint: Inspect the old panel for broken clips. If any are stuck in the fan body, remove them with tweezers.
4. Align and attach the new panel: Position the new rear panel housing so the screw holes line up with the fan body. Press it into place evenly. Do not force it — if holes don't align, rotate the panel 180 degrees. Common mistake: Forcing misaligned holes can crack the plastic. The panel should sit flush without gaps.
5. Fasten and test: Insert all screws and tighten them snugly — not over-tight. Reconnect power and run the fan at low speed. Listen for unusual vibration or rattling. Checkpoint: If rattling occurs, recheck that every screw is installed and the panel is fully seated.
