My parents had used this in their foyer socket light for a few months now.
It worked nicely until a few weeks ago when the rotor magnet started rubbing against the stator.
Each time it was turned off, it made this horrible grinding sound, which in the long term, could produce some airborne and really harmful magnet filings.
I tried repairing this by opening the motor cover, trying to get access to it so I could fix the magnet...
I instantly came across a soldered-on complex circuit board containing a group of scary capacitors with one of them having a 480v charge.
There's almost no way to properly access the lower screws safely. The board was soldered and working with those things is a tedious task.
I don't think I'll repair this as it's not really worth it.
Tell me in the comments if I should destroy it!
