There should be a small round cover over the fan, did you remove it or it came like that? Do you know how old the light is?

maybe the fan bearing needs to be lubricated? Not familiar with the workings of that fixture but that would make logical sense to me. I bet AI would be able to give you advice as well: https://support.aquaillumination.com/hc/en-us/articles/360047847673-Contact-Us
