    I don’t understand why the company makes it so difficult to take apart vs the industrial metal fans and their clip on screen grills

      I can’t even open it with the plier 😂🤣🤣after unscrew both knobs. The front and back grill stick like they are infused together.
      My one is Kenmore®
      16" High Velocity Fan, I wouldn’t buy it again if I can’t clean 😅😅😅

    Thank you 😄 Removed the back and washed it in soapy water. Never thought of using my vacuum cleaner for the inside (without switching it on, of course). 😊

    Yes u can take it apart without breaking it.. There's 2 screws right n the back hidden right on the fan where it swivels... Remember the 2 screws are on the fan in the Back..

    Great, off to Home Depot to buy one of those blowing contraptions. Living on the 14th floor, never did I ever think I’d be needing one of those. Hope it’s cheaper than a new fan. 😁

    • @AroundTheHome1

      A good cordless blower is not cheaper then a fan. Even a cheap blower is more. But, if you want to clean it the old fashion way, here is a video for that. ua-cam.com/video/a9kyxcSHEc4/v-deo.html

    That looks like a pretty good system. I don't have one of those leaf blowers so I do what you're basically not supposed to do which is I use the hose and I wash all the dirt off that way and then I leave it in the sun for days and days so I know it's good and bone dry.

    • @AroundTheHome1
      @AroundTheHome1  2 роки тому

      This video show you how to take it apart. I do stop at taking the blades off because after that you have the motor and electrical. But with it open you can wipe them off. Though I think I just pulled them off after I got it open. There might have been a set screw holding it on, I can't remember. ua-cam.com/video/a9kyxcSHEc4/v-deo.html

    Nathan, looked all over of how to clean a Lasko Cyclone 3520. Mine has been running solid for three years, I have two of them. They are great fans but you cant disassemble them with out a chance of breaking them. I went with your simple method. Blow the shit out of them and then clean the outside. Good and simple. Thanks.

    They make it difficult on purpose so you will buy a new one instead. I take mine apart and clean it. It can be more difficult for seniors to do it and can be overwhelming for them. Seem like they could just make buckle clips for easy access.

      I don't own a leaf blower either, and no longer have access to an air compressor. The easiest way to take it apart is to set it on a table with the front grill facing up. I had to use a flashlight to see in between the the grill and the housing to see little clips. Use a flat head screwdriver and gently work around the edge to separate the grill, clean and snap back together. Just in time for summer!

      That would be a leaf blower. And sure, a vacuum would work if you take that fan apart. At the end of this video I have a link to the video where I show you how to take the fan apart so that you can vacuum and wipe out the dust completely.

      Well, if there are no screws the cover may simply snap on. Of course, trying to pry it apart may break it. So you can chance that, or do like I did in this video and blow it out with a leaf blower or an air compressor. I think that will be your only options.
