Just wanted to say thanks... Have 2 of these exact fans that were all gunked up and pretty much non functional. After following your example they are now both running like Forrest Gump...
I have the Mainstays Version of this fan, and when it came time to service the fan, it had so much dirt in it, that it didn't move any air at all. I watched this video, and Followed along, and I was able to get it working. Thanks for Posting, I'll refer to this video for servicing my fan, this video helped me out a lot!
I fixed a fan or 2 and glad I saw this one because I didn't snap to the bearing wick on the 9in fan and took it apart 2 more times and got it working, I just need to diagnose the bigger one you did in another video, only problem is it doesn't turn on or motor hum when I turn it on. I'm going to clean it and see what comes of it.
I had one of these too a loong time ago (before I bought the 2 Black&Decker pedestals, which eventually broke, that I mentioned to you before). Coincidentally, the one I had that was very similar to this one (floor model) was a Black & Decker too (that’s why I later bought those 2 B&D pedestals). The floor one was very good and never broke... but I moved and left it at my old apartment.
It was probably the same thing as this, I've seen these sold under countless different names.. This is definitely cheaply made, but it's not so cheap as to be worthless..
What about soaking some of the parts of the can (Not just this one) in the oil you use to lubricate them with? Like to get into them and help repair them?
@@JordanU Im talking about the bearings and such. Soak the bearings and parts that need oil and let it creep into the bearings and see if that frees them up. Instead of banding on them. Let it slowly creep into the bearings while you clean the fans.
@@maddmaxx636 That's not how it works.. You have to bang (band?) it to get the alignment where it needs to be.. No amount of oil will make it work while out of alignment..
