It's only a matter of time before it fails again unless you reinforce the blade hub somehow. And buying the replacement blade plus shipping is almost as much as a new fan.
Yeah it is unfortunate but I did notice that the original fan blade lacked a proper notch It was just held in by friction which eventually got worn down. The replacement fan blade does have a proper notch And it's been working fine ever since.
I have the same fan and the same issue. Take the blade off get a flat head screw driver heat up the tip on the stove get the flat head blade hot and melt the plastic cracks keep it hot and remake the flat key part and make it a little bigger than the key part or about the same size that worked for me also get some super glue guerrilla glue get it down in the blade mix it around with a tooth pick let it dry do it again same thing let it dry and remove any excess do this before remelting the plastic and the remelt the key with the flathead screw driver
So it worked for a few hours and it wallowed out again so I re melted the plastic key and drove a screw from the center tip between the flat surface of the shaft and blade left it on over night. Switching settings there is a sound of and turning it off there is a sound definitely the screw which is just a half inch screw I may attempt different methods
@@metalmindedmaniac2587 The screw method seems to be the most popular but I had to resort the glue because the plastic cracked on the fan blade But it only worked for one day. but replacing it fix the problem permanently because it came with the keyed slot
Check description for where to buy the part and a additional fix video

Thanks for the tip It seems like they completely forgot about the key on one other nicer fans
