A local computer repair place replaced my battery, everything works fine but the back left fan is whirling non stop at top volume. Any quick fixes or is this an issue? Thanks in advance

Man, your about as helpful as my 6 yo 👎 Luckily there are other more helpful forums in the world. Par for the Apple course! Don’t waste your time next responding if that’s all the better you have to say

Why not take it back —"A local computer repair place replaced my battery, everything works fine"
Maybe it's not working as fine as you thought— sounds like they borked something.
Typically there is a 90 day warranty on all parts and labor.
I know of no "quick fixes" for a hardware issue.
@go-dubs thanks for your insight but I’m sorry your incorrect about the former and most likely correct about the latter. I replaced both fans following this issue and it did not fix the problem. To your ladder point It probably broke By not not being repaired by Apple directly. Which is what I have now done. Tak
Thanks for the reply. That’s did not work and neither did the tip in this response https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4745733
any other ideas?
thanks

Your fan is broken. It is what it is. You’re going to have to fix it.
Also, it may be because it was not repair by Apple or an AASP.
My MacBook Pro battery was just replaced and now one fan is whirling non stop at full volume
