I did replace bearings on all six of my Emerson K55 motors. It includes four Casablanca ceiling fans, one Panama 5 from 1991, one Delta II from 1993, and two Delta II from 1996 with a PermaLock. The ones with a PermaLock was nearly impossible to hammer a shaft out of but I did succeed. Hammering them back in wasn’t as hard. It seems like when it comes to Emerson K55 motor, the flywheel usually outlast the bearings. My Samsung motor, in the other hand, still seems to have bearings in mint condition. No noise and no signs of bearings going bad.
Thank you so much for the video! I had mine apart and ready for the new flywheel in no time at all. Got the part from Amazon and it fit perfectly. Everything went back together easily except for the light connector. I managed to get it reconnected and back up in no time at all. Thanks again!
Cleaned the blades on my 40 year old Hunter ceiling fan and the 'flywheel' disintegrated. $60 for a new one! Torn between fixing or just getting a new fan.
I saw a few recently from 1996. They’re 5 blade versions in the same finish. They’re at a restaurant that went out of business. One of the fans is bladeless
It’s a shame it dosent perform that great. It’s probably due to the bad capacitor. I’m sure it will perform better with a better capacitor. If this fan is even still here today
Despite it's cheapness, I really like this fan with it's classy design. Sounds like it really moves some air and has some great speed, still better than some of the cheapest modern fans.
