I have just received my makerbot replicator and noticed when ever i print that the right extruder fan does not work . I emailed tech support and they suggested i check the wiring to the mother board has not come loose. I checked but and it was slightly loose but not enough for the fan not to work. Now the problem has progressed to the left extruder fan and i am unable to print without over heating the extruders....

Sounds like you have a buggy machine. I would contact support directly and ask them to fix the problem. You should not have to be dealing with this. They could answer this better, but it makes me suspicious of the board that first one fan did not work and now the second one does not. I assume you are running with default settings, right? If not, you might want to reset everything to defaults and try again.
