Hi Viewers, Recently my table - wall fan had problem functioning and after i took the motor apart it worked as good as new. #DIY #Guide #HomeFix #MetalBladeFan
I have a fan that powered on but no movement. I found your video on RU-vid and figured it was worth s shot. I followed your steps and BAM! The fan works great now. You saved me 40-50 bucks! Great video and instructions. Thanks a lot. I am now a "fan" of yours. 😁
I oiled my fans a few days ago, just noticed this video today. Thankfully, my fans (two different brands) had fewer screws and I was also able to access the two ends of the shafts without taking the motors apart. Not a difficult task, but perhaps a bit of a chore to fit the pieces back together. My suggestion to anyone afraid of taking their fan apart is to take a video of the process. If you can't put it back together, just refer to your video to see where your pieces should be.
You've saved my family $40. .My wife had planned to purchase a new fan the next day. I quickly visited RU-vid, and boom your video was the first. Quick DIY helped me repair 1 standing fan. Thanks
quick tip. before you take apart the motor casing, use a sharpie to draw a line down the side touching every part of the case. That way you can easily see how the pieces fit back together. Great vid!
Thank you for posting this video. Still working on my fan.but meanwhile gaining confidence while watching each step of the, I have not this done this before and no nothing . However, going thru each step, I gained a lot of confidence and learned about parts the of a fan. This is an excellent video for DIY people. Thank you 😊
This is a very clear and concise video. My 15+ year old fan was not spinning and I followed your step by step instructions. Only difference in my case was that the pin didn't come out that easily, I had to knock on it and use pliers to yank it out. I also substituted oil for wd40 as this is all I had on hand. Honestly my fan now spins faster and makes more wind than before! As good as new! Thank you so much for this video. Liked, subscribed and shared.
Thank you very much. I have this retro-style electric fan that suddenly stopped spinning. I thought the motor had burned out because I use to turn it on and forget about it, sometimes for days and days. This is not a cheap fan so I really wanted to fix it. I called the manufacturer, but they said they no longer service those fans. I then called a local elecrician who said it would cost $85 just to look at it. Strike two ! Actually I bought two of these fans back in 2010 so they matched perfecty in my living room on top of my stereo speakers . Buying a replacement would not be easy. I looked online, but could not find an exact match. Even if I had found a replacement there were other things that were higher on the priority scale. Finally I decided to Google it. Not sure why I hadn't though of that before but my mind was set that I had blown the motor ? I followed the instructions step by step as best as I could, making sure not to get the screws mixed up. It only took me about an hour to take it apart and put it back together again. After all the work was done, I turned the fan on with my fingers crossed. I did not want to burn the house down. To my surprise, everything worked perfectly ! The fan is even more wisper-quiet than it was before. What I should have done was clean it up a little before putting it together. So I might have to do that. Thanks a lot for this video !
Sir you are the best, for days now my fan stopped working and we have not heard a good sleep but you through you now I just replied it. More grace and I thank God for making me to understand without mistake. Thank you Sir
Thank you. I have the Honeywell Pedestal Fan and it looks like you have to break the plastic to get easy access to the motor, but once I got close enough to it, I added a few drops of oil which was enough to loosen the friction from the dust and get it moving again. Saved from the trash!
Dear Vins & Annette, My stand fan stopped after 1 year of use, watched you video, it helped. At 1:37, I was unable to open the fan motor cover after many tries despite four front screws removed, this Aerogaz brand stand fan has no screw at the back of the cover. Initially I used WD40, it did not help, then I dripped Singer Oil from outside into the rotating rod (without removing the motor cover). Waited for a few minutes for the oil to settle in. Then, I manually used my fingers to turn the rotating rod, at first it was very stiff, slowly it can spin smoothly. Re-installed all external parts removed. Plugged it, power on, it worked ! Many thanks. CKL 13/07/2023 Thu 1008 Singapore
Thank you! This video helped me while there was a massive heat wave in my city and my fan stopped working. Had to watch it at x1.5 speed to fix this thing as fast as possible.
Thanks very much sir...my been stuck for almost years and we currently suffering from the heat wave in South Africa 🇿🇦 so im glad your video helped me out,it spinning now.i near threw it away,but i guess a little lubricatation helped out.❤😊
Was about to throw my fan out when I decided to check if there wasn't a fix online and yep, some lubricant and a good clean and it's as good as new. Thanks for saving me some dosh y'all.
Just now , my fan cannot move and feels so heavy to rotate , then i youtube and your video was found first , i follow all the step you provided and now my fansl can operate like usual , thank you my brother ! You are my saviour ❤
Great video with superb production values. Well done! The only change I would make is to have as the first instruction, unplug fan from electrical outlet. 😂🔧👍
I'm glad I came across your video. I had a 3 yr old pedestal fan that wasn't spinning and I was planning on throwing it out. I watched the vid and followed your instructions and I got the thing cleaned up and running in less than an hour. Good stuff!
well all I can say is those 68 that did the thumbs down??? Their fan was just done is all........this didn't help my stand up fan but........a metal floor fan I paid quite a bit for???? different story, I couldnt get the face off so I sprayed lubricant real slow where it rolled down to get all the rusted areas and low and behold.......wa la !! I know this fan has been on my back porch for nearly a year, out of any kind of rain.........and its work'n like a dream.........thank you Vin
Omg I just fixed my fan! 3 seconds from being put in the garbage! Thank you! It sounded like the motor because it wouldn't spin but I figured 'give it a shot' before tossing it and it worked!
Can you tell me which oil you used for the fan? Bcz my fan always spins late even when I am using the pen. But now, it's not working totally. First, it sounded like a creech then it stopped Fully 😢... I want to try this method
the fan i'm using in my room has stopped spinning and my mom said we should throw it away. it is still in good condition and it would be a waste to throw it so i came here looking for solutions. will definitely try and do this one. thank you for the clear and step by step instructions!
Bro thank you very much for this... I used to just spray the bolt part with a spray lubrificant... but after 4 years the motor just stopped.... it got current in in but the blades wont move.... So I did this... I removed everything like you've showed and oh boy... the bearings were stuck with gunk from over the years... so I picked a small file and cleaned the bearings... sprayed them with graphite, lube them up good with vasseline... and now guess what... Is works like new... no noise, no heating of the motor.... So fking great man... Feels so good to fix stuff :) Thanks!
I am a big fan! Thank you so much! I now learned how I could start rotating again like my siblings. But the surgery was a bit painful to do myself, especially without sedation!
Wow, thank u poh taLaga sa video na gumana na yong eLectric fan namin.. d na kme bibili nang bago kasi gumana na. Dati ang number 3 lng ang gumana ngayon pati number 1 and 2 ok na ang ikot nya.. nilagyan ko lng nang baby oil yon lang ang available kasi..thank you
Good job! It's always nice to have a hubby or somebody in the family who knows how to fix things, like #20, and thank you for sharing your talent in making "broken" things fixed! Stay safe and have a great day.
Mine was a tab different in where the parts were. The hub bearing was actually out of the rear part of the motor. I must've tried to put it together like that and it wasn't until I watched three videos showcasing the same thing like no fan blade spin So thanks to your video I was able to figure out where I was going wrong. So in the rear I just had to lift up three tangs and put the hub bearing in there snug as a bug in a rug. LOL :)
Crazy how people throw away things that just need a little TLC and maybe a bit of oil. ; ) Thanks for the vid, I just got a brand new fan from the curb.
