[Elecraft] K3 Fans with the 100w kit.

[Rob May]

Page 13 of the KPA3 manual says "the fans will blow air out of the K3".  So yours are operating correctly.  Mine blow outwards.  If you're old enough, you might have lived in a house with an attic fan.  It's the same principle, pull the air through what you want to cool.
