Dell's built-in fan control is for lack of a better term - pretty bad.
The thresholds and Rotational speed are inadequate to keep a
notebook cool. Here is a program written specifically to give a
Dell owner more control of the fan operation on their notebook.
Here's the website - be sure to read the Documentation.

Can you tell me how and where to access and run the diagnostic to check
the
fan's operation ? Thank You !

New fans are under $5. Processors are a lot more expensive.

Yes, but since this is a laptop the OP will probably not be able to
replace
the fan herself. She should contact Dell tech support.
