Found a thrifted Lasko today that was just CAKED in greasy dust, so thank you for showing me how to get this apart. Gonna put the plastic pieces in the dishwasher, so I'll only have to clean the motor side by hand.
*Love the size and it fits perfectly in a corner but **Fastly.Cool** the whole room. Really like how you can auto adjust how long you want the fan to be on. It is quite but highly effective.*
Wow, this was a great video and good questions and replies!! I took mine apart but couldn't figure how to pull it apart because of that stupid screw. I have a dermal so I'll use it to cut a slit in the screw. It was a pain to take it apart but worth it. Thanks again!!!
Love this fan!! Finally got tired of the gunk and decided it was time to figure out how to clean it. Amazingly helpful video! I got everything off, everything cleaned, everything almost back together.. can't seem to get the handle cover back on.. how'd you do it? it's so hard, don't wanna smash my fingers, ugh. THANK YOU!!
I must have a different model of lasko blower fan. Mine looks like the one in the video but does not come apart like the one in the video. Looks like its going to be a pain to take apart...
My older model 7050 has screws that look like they take a star bit but there's a raised cylindrical spike dead center of each damn screw! Seems like Lasko is using proprietary screws hoping I'll buy another one instead of cleaning it...
Thanks so much for the video; just recently got my Lasko fan back from a neighbor who borrowed it years ago, and it was a MESS! Couldn’t have managed without your video as a reference.
I used a Dremmel tool with a narrow grinding wheel to cut slot in the screw heads, and removed with flat head screwdriver. What the heck was with those two screws anyway? There was one each in the two bottom foot plates.
Anybody able to remove the fan cylinder from the motor assembly? I removed the nut and it doesn’t come off. Also, I noticed a tiny spring on the ground and have no clue where that goes.
I couldn’t remove that nut, since the entire shaft turned within the motor, so just cleaned with compressor blower the best I could. That spring came from a small hole in the side of the blue housing, and a small metal ball sat on top of the spring, accounting for the clickey sound when. pivoting the blower from one position to another. Naturally that little ball was lost in the process, but found the spring, and just happened to have a small metal ball for replacement. What a chore, but with time and lots of patience, it looks like new and still works great.
Yes, I was able to remove the fan cylinder today; took about 5 minutes, though. I just kept working at it and it eventually came off. There was a washer underneath it. It took me some time to get the nut off also because it was a little rusty. I sprayed some Liquid Wrench on the nut, let it sit for a few minutes, and eventually got it off. If I didn’t get it off, I was going to take it to the thrift store, since the blades were so nasty and every scrub brush I have has bristles that were too short to clean it properly. There was also some gunk underneath the fan cylinder that I was able to clean out.

Very smart print it back together wet. Not only can you blew it out but it'll build more dirt/dust due to it being wet. But great job taking it apart

Where do I get that type of screwdriver

They are Torx security screws. You can buy a tool set at home depot to remove it.

Someone needs to craft a fan that you can Easily! Clean ugh
I know, right? This is ridiculous
It the video was just slowed down it would really be more helpful . Why so fast?
I can't get the freaking nut in the middle big the fan why any suggestions???
Did you figure it out?
Thanks
Super helpful.Some genius decided to put two security screws so I drilled them out.

Hi can you please tell me what kinda too u used to take the non Phillips screws out with
You can use a allen ranch :size 5/64
Anyone else clean their fan and now only have 1 speed? Any solutions?

Ty I need the help disassembling
Anybody able to remove the fan cylinder from the motor assembly? I removed the nut and it doesn’t come off.
Also, I noticed a tiny spring on the ground and have no clue where that goes.
About the Fan cylinder, press de metal axis with your thumb while pulling with both hands, also press gently the plastic casing with your knee.

Mine has triangular screws in the side grid, how do I get those out? I don't have a bit like that?
I got them out with a really small flat head (the kind you clip on your shirt pocket.)
Amazon
Had to be a bit forceful to get the black pieces off however super helpful
Useless...
I have 3 weird screws that I have no idea how they come off to achieve the very first task 🥵
0:51 i can't even get the fan out. I'm ready to throw the whole fan away
Quitter
Thanks big as really big
Super helpful, trying to clean this damn thing, damn near broke it
thanks not a big fan of seeing the feet and legs but i'll give a thumbs up for at least showing how to not break this darn thing.
