Honeywell HT-900 Fan - Disassembly And Cleanout 

People who create these kinds of useful videos are heroes of humanity. Thank you for this.

*Bought this fan for the summer and so far it works great **Fastly.Cool** ! It's very quiet and not too loud, but also acts as a "white noise" when I go to sleep. No complaints from me!*

I just cleaned out one of these and have another one to clean. I didn't unscrew the Motor or anything like that but between some Cleaning Wipes, a Tongue Depressor (for cleaning through the Grillwork all over), Popsicle Stick (to get the tinier areas) and some Canned Air to get all around the Motor and those parts, I got it pretty clean. It was starting to make a little rattling noise before I cleaned it, but afterward, it runs so nice and quiet, just like it did when I first bought it! 😍

I've had this fan for like a year and for some reason, they hid the screws in just the right way where I could never figure out how to open it up. For a while I just assumed they sonically welded the plastic or something. I was considering just buying a new one, but I figured I'd look up the model number, and your video was the first result. Huge, huge thanks for covering my blind spot with this one 😅

This is honestly a very good cleaning video of a fan. I see a lot of fans that are never cleaned out for years and they look disgusting and that fan is looking way better now than before.

After spending about 45 minutes trying to realign the screws in my fan after watching your video it was so simple thank you so much save me a lot of time and my fan is working perfectly. Great video. Appreciate it greatly.

Just in case, anyone needs this information. The Honeywell HT-904 needs a Philips #1 screwdriver to remove the face plate.

Great explanation and demonstration. Your comments, as you proceeded, were VERY helpful. Thanks!

OMG ! I used Vaccum and then Blower to clean up; still messy sticky web and dust. You Tube Guru rescued me . Thanks for sharing. In fact for everything; it is good to check youtube and then start do it yourself. You are a good guy. Thanks once again.

I have other fans that have pressure gripping devices for screen, it is so much simpler. Your video was very helpful. Thank you

Thanks! This is a public service. I'm lazy and just took off the front cover. I run the front cover in the shower, and the rest of it, a damp microfiber rag and a air compressor to clean out.

Great Job! After a summer of non stop running at the bottom of my desk, yeah its time for a cleaning! Thanks for the how to on taking it apart and back together!

Thanks for this video I love my little fan and will not let it go, 4 years strong and I am just finding out how to clean. No more cotton swab cleaning that takes forever.

I have 2 of these fans and a smaller one also and they’re the best fans I’ve ever had. Thanks for your video; it was very helpful!

TYSM 😊 I'd have never foud those tiny screws without your help I was about to throw it away lol Tnx for the time you took to make this vid 👍👍

Thank you for this video! I was looking for a video to see how to clean mine like this one. I feel so stupid now. I kept fighting with it trying to get the 2 parts apart with no luck.😂

These are clearly designed to be used and then throw away so you can spend money on a new one.

None of my Phillips screwdrivers has a shaft that is skinny enough and long enough to reach these screws, so I’m stuck using pipe cleaners to get the gunk off the fan blades and the vent grids. I looked for this video to see whether a regular person was actually able to reach these screws and, more importantly, get them back in through those deep wells. Even if I buy a long enough small Phillips, I’m afraid I won’t get the darn faceplate back on.

If you have the tools it’s good to learn how to make replaceable ones last- comes in handy w more expensive ones too

Thank you. I appreciate your guidance.

Isopropyl alcohol for cleaning around electricity the only thing to use actually because it evaporates it doesn't stay wet for long

Very concise. Thank you very much. It now blows like new.

Very helpful, thank you very much 😀

Awesome job, that's what I needed. Thank you and greetings from Houston, TX.

Love the fan but it’s the WORSE to clean. I’ve bought 3 of them because the clean up process gives me a headache, but we are going to try to clean it todah

Thanks for the video. What size of screwdriver fits the screws to take the outer grill off? Mike

Great video Can you do a ceiling fan replacement video?

Thanks so much!

thanks bro!!

why you had motor out you should of put a couple drops on front and Back( a little trickier) bearing felt area, just let it drip , a few times down shaft into bearing felt for rear ~Its critical to making these last a long time

Just needed a smooth blast of compressed air to do 80% of your work. The real thing lubing up the bushings you missed totally. Thats the most imp thing. Can be done easily with a long spout and SAE20 or 30 oil 2 drops.

I used to take it out in the sun and hose it down then let is sit outside in the sun and wind for a few hours. Worked like a charm.

El mío no enciende 😢 Hay manera de repararlo

Is it possible to remove the blades from the motor? Or did I miss that part?

I got it disassembled but how do I reassemble the motor?

First question where do I find a screwdriver long enough. And two why is the video so long? I’m trying to get my fan to work again, it’s hot lol.

One of the screws for the face plate is stripped. Suggestions so I can remove it? Thanks!

Hello Sir, is there any specific screwdriver we need to use? Please let me know which screwdriver you used

Can you share the type of screw driver you used? I don’t have one that is narrow and long enough to fit so I have to buy one, but I can’t see down to see what screw head is needed and because of lockdown I can’t take it into the store to test. Thanks for the video, it’s amazing how challenging a simple task can be.

OH MY! So, I pulled out only the blades and now the fan won't come on? I didn't unscrew any of the inner screws, the fan just slid out, but after cleaning and putting back together, it doesn't work, sad. WHY?

So unscrewed the stand from the entire fan, and managed to screw it back but it won’t do that “tik-tik-tik” sound when adjusting direction. Help!

I can’t a thin screwdriver to fit the damn hole!

2 of the screws refused to pull out

🤩

Seems silly you can’t remove the fan blade from the motor assembly

My fan cover is too hard to take off; compressed air for me. Lol

Impossible to open!! It should be easier. My screws are stripped.

💪😃👍

Worst design ever....I can't even find a screwdriver to fit in the holes to take the grill off.....awful. they just want you to buy a new one, smh

😂😂😂😂how do you clean??? The best part you don’t show 🤦🤦🤦

I have the same exact fan,it was all dusted and furred up from my cats hairs.Mine was making a vibrating sound so I wanted to take off the fan blade but I don't know how to do it. Does anybody know how to take the blade off of this fan?

Thank you! ❤
