I have a tabletop igloo ice maker. It has, what I would describe as, a

PY-1225H12S. I can't find it anywhere.

There are things called search engines that can be invaluable in this
regard:

I have messages out to Igloo and
others which are still pending. I suspect Igloo will come back with "send
it in" as they have no online listings of internal parts.

Anybody have an idea/vendor that could supply this. I found something in
China but it looks like I have to purchase 1000.

It looks like a standard, ~5 inch square fan, 1 inch thick, 12V DC.
Aside from the (unspecified) air flow capabilities and sound level
(both depend on the design of the blades and speed of the motor),
you should be able to substitute any similar fan (mounting holes
are largely standardized)

If $8 (incl shipping) is too "dear" for you, visit a surplus
electronics store and find one in a scrap pile...

You must have the touch. I punched in py-1225h12s and got tennis shoes..
Search engines... check.

Any replacement, generally go by current required, and the airflow will be
similar. Dimensions are pretty standardized.

When I was building and servicing business computers, I insisted on using ball bearing fans even though they cost more. ヽ(€¢€¿€¢)ノ
