How to fix a table fan that won't start

If you have a table that suddenly won't start spinning, or takes a long time to spin up, don't junk it!
If the problem is just tight bearings, it can be an easy fix.
After a long time of usage, the spinning parts inside the fan can get sticky with rust, dust and other dirt.
All you need to do is to add some anti-rust (I used WD-40), and add some lubricant after.
STEPS IN THE VIDEO:
- Unplug from power supply
- Remove front cage
- Remove front nut
- Try to spin the fan with your hand. If it feels tight, then you know it's a problem with the bearings
- Remove rear cage
- Remove casing front screws
- Remove fan swing knob
- Remove casing back screw
- Now you have exposed the insides of the fan. If it's dusty, take a moment to vacuum the dust away to prevent it from clogging the bearings again later.
- Apply anti-rust like WD-40. Get it into the spinning parts, then wait a few mins (I forgot to use the small spray nozzle for more accuracy)
- Put the fan blades back on the shaft and give it a spin with your hand. It should be easier to spin now
- Then, add a few drops of all-purpose lubricant oil
- Finally, reattach the casing, rear cage, blades, and front cage and turn it on
It should be good as new!
I hope that saved you a trip to the appliance store to buy a new table fan. Remember to maintain your appliances and they should give you many years of service!

Thank you so much. WD-40 followed by machine oil is just perfect. Now it's spinning then ever.

The bearing is at center shaft. I always repair these kinds of problems. If open the motor never separate the wire and coil sometimes at back cover. I clean the bearing and shaft use high temperature grease. Anyone have better grease to recommend?
