This problem is not uncommon, especially in areas where the temps get below freezing. My 2HP chillking fan shattered exactly like yours, as did a number of other units sold through what was formerly The Green Light Garden and Brew Supply in Missoula, MT.
We all had ours replaced with metal fans under warranty, but they should have come with metal fans to begin with. You should also add the cold weather package they recommend if it gets below freezing where you live.
The fan was easy enough to install. When it busted, I actually switched to a run to waste set up, and haven't used the chiller since.
Due to these cold ass temps i have my chiller inside a garage in a separate room from my pool table and it pretty heats up the hole attic and makes my pool room toasty... My chiller was under warranty and was shipped second day air.... not sure how much they would charge if if wasnt covered by warranty.... Chillville gave me a great email from a guy a HI and the sent me step by step instructions to change out the fan with pics and all... Shouldnt take me more than 45 mins to take it apart and put it back together with the new fan... I didnt use the max fan like i planned i just dimmed my lights for the last few days and turned them on 10 hours... Tonight it the big sissor night so wish me luck...
They told me the metal fan upgrade would be $50 when the chiller is new, but that includes labor to install. So I would guess the fans would be less than that, plus shipping.
You guys are probably not going to believe this but I'm still running my a/c!
Sourkush did you use the max-fan for the short term? How did that work? Do you have any pics? I'm sure that you will be able to change it out with no problems but if I can help LMK.
