SqueakSgone Fan Repair 

What an amazing demonstration! I just purchased a 1950 vintage Dominion table fan model #2004 - pristine condition, came with the original box, most probably never used. I ordered your SqueakSgone in case after all those years the thing needs to be lubed. Thanks so much!

I thought im going to buy a new one...ty so much for this simple and very clear tutorial. Now our electric fan is fixed. Ty again.

Just ordered it, please ship it soon. I can't live without my fan!

Thank so much this trick actually works thanks I started to panic thinking I have to go out and get a new one 🤣😁

I used it on my lady. We are seniors. No more loud zex squeaking noises!!!!! It works!!!! 😂

Thanks to everyone in the comments who mentioned taking the fan apart. It was a very useful tip that should be outlined in this video. I used BRAMEC extended oil that I picked up at my local electrical supply house. Working great now.

I appreciate it. I did go a step further and separated the motor to clean it out really well. My fan finally works after doing the oil as you did in this video!

I fixed my fan today. Thanks a lot !!!

Thank you for posting this video you saved me money.

Next time I would definitely recommend taking the motor apart, as there is a back bearing as well, and there is a felt pad that absorbs the oil, so you want to make sure to saturate the felt pad for the front and back bearing for maximum effectiveness.

Thanks dude I had the EXACT same problem and now it’s gone thanks to the video. ❤❤❤

This works like a charm, thanks so much

Watching From The Philippines! 🇵🇭 🇵🇭

Wow......I have the exact same fan with the exact same problem. I followed your advice step by step and the problem was fixed. Only difference I used WD 40 and now it's running smooth and quietly. Thank you so much. 👍🏼

Thanks! this video helps a lot for me! (My fan is fixed)

thnks yaar..you are a lofe saver...

Most of the time oil will do crap, it will work for a short time but the question is simple, if the bearings are worn, the squeak will come back quite fast. It's a question of quality now, everything nowadays is made to stop working after a certain period, gone beyond that, it will fight you to keep the thing working.

Thank you very much

I have a vertical fan making noise and doesn’t want to spin. I wana try some marvel magic mystery oil and see how it does. Thanks for sharing your video.

Thank u man u save my fan

It worked. Thankx

My air conditioner used a sealed motor with brass bushings at both ends. The felt that absorbs oil and keeps the brass bushings lubricated had dried up after 18 years. So the motor was now screaming and screeching. But this was a sealed motor and thus there was no cap to open to add oil and no way to disassemble the motor. However, by tilting the motor and spinning it manually, I was able to just keep dripping oil on the shaft near the bushing, and the oil just kept on slowly disappearing as it was being absorbed by the felt material. Once having done this at both ends of the motor for a while ( motor has exposed shafts at both ends) , the felt material at both bushings were now freshly packed with oil again. So my back to quiet air conditioner is now starting its second summer with the new oil. I used the same oil on my big indoor fan and it still spins at top speed even several years after adding the oil. In all cases, I used shaving oil that is for electric shavers.

Thank u for this video..🙏🙏

Also, you should've taken apart the motor and oiled the rear bearing, which is non-exposed.

Yea I thought my fan was unbalanced but turns out it just needed some oil, if oil doesn’t help then try liking the hiddin barring inside.

Hi maybe you can help me. I don't know how to take the blades off my HDX high velocity floor fan to put lubricant just like you did. Can you advise me on how to go about it please?

Cast motor casing, better than stamped steel, take the motor completely apart and lube both bearings.

Oh I fixed it I just turned it on long enough and it worked

I immediately thought to get some for my cheap overseas fans that need so much cleaning and bushings oiled.

Thank yoy I'm a fan now! Get it! Lol

Thanks for Vid bro.. subscribed

Thank you I'm going to try this out today. 😊😊

Four screws, motor apart, oil the back bearing. Motor oil works fine.

There are two bearings in a fan motor. You neglected to oil the bottom one. You should always oil both bearings.

There should be felt or similar material surrounding the bushings that needs to be saturated with light oil (3 in 1 will work). The bushings are made of sintered metal that allow oil to slowly seep through. Doing this every 2 years or so will keep the fan running for a very long time or until the switch breaks. The fan should be disassembled to do this. Grease will NOT work long term and will eventually gum up the bushings You may need to lightly tap the shaft in several radial directions after reassembly to realign the bushings to the shaft if it doesn't spin freely, especially the front bushing which usually gets out of alignment during disassembly and reassembly. The bushings are convex on their outside diameter to allow for this.

I just used sewing machine oil and fixed a fan that hasnt got serviced since 1990 so dont be like cheap oil doesnt do it .

Thanks that was really helpful.

thanks for video. you said you only used three drops, but I saw you apply five, one of them a double dose too. But that's me quibbling.

Besides squeak gone can I use anything else

It works!!!!! Tytyyy

I find just buying a new one will fix the squeak as well ✅️ 😁

Can u use Machine oil?

How to repair air converter

Paint a spiral in the centre of the fan and paint the tips.

mine sounds like that but louder like shit inside the motor is rattlin around inside though i doubt thats the case

Great video bro, is there SqueaksGone substitute? Thanks again.

I have a 1980s vantage galaxy table fan that is slow to start up which used to be my grandmother's. Will this stuff work on it

What If I use engine oil I know it's used in a pretty harsh environment e.g. hot and cold environment high rpm and doesn't dry out as far as I know

squeaksgone, nano bonding to steel and repels dust because it's made with genuine snake oil!

Take the motor apart and oil the. Felt pad

Would hair clipper oil be ok ? I’ve never put oil on my fan had mine since 2003 blades are a bit rusty but gonna spray paint them too

I like putting stuff together and it's so nice to that my husband don't like. Put stuff together like me hi IAM Ashley cayton and thank you IAM going do that to my fan I have one like that in my bed room it's like your fan lol if you can save money it's nice do that lol nice video and IAM new thanks good luck with your fan 😁😂🤣😀

Any idea how i can fix the annoying noise the motor makes when using the fan? Besides the noise from the blades spinning it makes this annoying humming noise i have noticed a lot of fans do this and i need a solution.

How does the Blade come off (same fan) I tried pulling on it as much as possible without breaking something and the blade would not budge!

How do you get the blade of the fan off?

how did u take out the fan

Maybe if you want a wind machine by Lasko, a 1988 Galaxy Wind Machine is better since like other vintage fans, they where actually built to be maintained and last awhile.

I don't think I'm going to spend $13 to save a $20 fan I've had for 12 years, but I'll keep this in mind if I have more expensive fans to fix in the future.

i do this with vintage fans

Can this be purchased at a store?

How long does this solution last? When do i have to reapply?

Can I use w-40?

So, for these semi-delicate situations I use sewing machine oil. I'm not old but I asked an old-timer..

Can I use olive oil

Was $7.00. Now nearly $13..

Ok so lube is gone shaft gets hot and damaged and motor stops new fans have fused plug it pops. To properly fix. disassemble motor, mark halves, use wire to hold washers be sure of which side of shaft. The bearings are porious they have felt packing if missing use felt pushed in, use non detergent oil only. drop oil in to packing until shiney at touch. I block end of bearing clean iso and q tip. then fill oil let soak in... next onto shaft its black scored not shiny its the problem.. 3k 4k sand paper 3m polish paper. drill in a vise you turn the shaft to remove damage at a low speed.. until nail doesnt feel damage and wow shine. do other side.. clean up. put washers in correct side I litely oil shaft reassemble. with marks from before.. turn the shaft is it easy spins free? if not loosen motor screws move till easier, good now? it must spin freely. If still stiff or whatever wrap on shaft ends with a good wrap (hit)it will realine the 2 oilite bearings. smooth now spins do again.. pro trick.. if not free smooth waste of time.. mine spin smooth freely, if not do above again..youll get the feel... reassemble. good for years.. next i use a watts meter to see if motor is within spech. they do sell plugs with fuses to replace blown blue plug. bath fan 16 years box fan 60 plus years , commercial fan window since 2000.. you must replace fused plug for safety This is an article for fun. lots of homes have burnt down.. You are now aware.. replace the fuse.... or toss the fan..

That's a lasko wind machine

is that a DC motor?

Hellou what kind of oil is that?

When you look up how to fix the squeaking on a fan and it’s the same one you have in the video hahahab

It's not $7.00 anymore. It's $12. Is that a hyper-lubricant?

why is there a hole in the center of the blade?

Lasko Wind Machine.

Or you could fix your fan for real by opening the motor and inserting 3-in-one blue can lubricant in the felt for the bearings. Instead of just putting a few drops of oil that will do nothing to repair the fan because the oil isn’t being absorbed by the felt pad properly, you can extend the life of your fan and save money by servicing the fan properly.

can we use coconut oil??

these motors are a bad design barely anything supports the bushings so the rotor can easily become unbalanced and cause alot of noises.

Will WD40 do the trick?

Don’t use motor oil. It makes it worse for some reason. Also since you have it apart unscrew the motor and oil the rear bearings too. 3 in 1 oil is ok but the gun oil you get when buying a new pistol seems to work the best.

This isn't a repair video, it's some dude hocking relabeled electric motor oil and jacking up the price. SMFH

Squeaksgone selling squeaksgone oil..why 5+ minutes add? Reality, any heavy oil will do the job (i used lucas oil stabilizer for my AC compressor fan and worked fine 5 years).

How did u pull out the fan blade ???..... I pulled and pulled and mine still didn't come out

That's not grease !!! its cotton which hold the oil for lubricating the shaft and bearing..... its a cheap Chinese tactics they know eventually it will fail and the fan will not run or over heat or it will burn the thermal fuse in series with the running coil..... and people will buy new fan .... This is how Chinese making American dollar

can we use a cooking oil? as an alternative?

wd40?

Looks like canola oil

Can you use wd40 too

tip: dont do this with wd40, my fan literally just caught on fire 😭🤣

I have something I need to show u

Never, ever, have I been able to stop a squeaky fan by oiling it; ever. Never works. Just doesn't. I can get a fan to last about a year before it starts sounding like someone strangling a chicken. Doesn't matter if I spend $12 or $50. Doesn't matter if it has plastic blades or metal. Oiling it does not work. Cleaning it doesn't make a difference either. It just will not stop squealing. Makes me want to absolutely scream.

Lol no need for these, had so many of these squeaky sounds from fans throughout my life, a couple tablespoons of cooking oil works just as well.

It won't spin at all
