Are the specifications on the replacement fan the same as for the original? According to this [https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Dell-Inspiron-1300-B120-Laptop-Cooling-Fan-MD538-DC5V-1-8W/132973027893?epid=24012822690|link] it is a 5V 1.8W fan. The specifications should be marked on the centre of the fan
If the specifications are the same then perhaps the sensor in the fan (not sure if it is a rpm sensor or temp sensor) or sensor lead (yellow wire) is faulty
