My dad came home from work to drop off his work van so he can ride his bike to his other jobs for the day. You should have seen his face when he saw me sitting in his very manly garage in my flora tank top, screw driver in hand, with my fan taken apart😂
Madie Trueblood awesome. I hope you get it going again!
Please can the music. Good video, but I almost turned off because the music was like an ice pick in my ear.
As soon as I heard “I’m just tired of buying stuff” I said “This guy gets me”😂
It’s 4am and I don’t own a fan
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Uroty FN wut you don’t?
That's trippy😂
Lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🦠
This video save me from a major beating my mom thought I broke her fan but I just showed her this and now were good thanks so much
The ultimate sentry glad it helped! Thanks for watching.
@@RickBolt of course! thanks for the tutorial
Thanks you, I am enjoying my fan again in the heat of the summer, sweating while taking 4 screws out, at last the enjoyment of it spinning again 😍
You are welcome.
Thank you sooooo much. I literally fixed this at 1am in my apartment. The country I travelled to was so hot at night and the fan stopped working. I literally couldn't sleep well.
God bless ✨
And just like that... My fan works again! Thank you so much.
Just watched a video where they took the entire motor out! I thought,”it’s a $15 fan, there’s got to be a better way”!!! Thanks for this video. My fan works!!!!
My fan takes about 2 mins to start up, thanks to this video it now only takes 1 min and 45 second to start up
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Just do it 7 more times
😂😂😂
Before I was about to dispose of my fan, I checked out your video for one last hope for my fan to function again. Until I saw your video I tried out your method of trying to spray rust oil on the motor generator of my fan. When I turned the switch on then suddenly my fan unknowingly started to work! Thank you very very much for making this video for other people's benefit. I give you credit for this video. THANK YOU 💯
Wow this really works .I left my fan on last night and when I came this morning it didn't want to work . It turned on but didn't spin and it was hot . I came across your video and it helped me alot. I knew I had wd40 so I grab it and sprayed and keep rotating . Turned it on and now it works like brand new. Thank you 😊
Wait so wd 40 is the same as the silicone spray?
I was about to serve last rites on my Whirpool oscillating fan, very similar. Has a 3-speed and off button panel I guessed to be broken. From watching video, got motivated, took it apart (to throw away or last shot attempt). Works fine with no blade or cage attached! Hmmm. Further investigation, cleaning, and lubrication next. Could still be glitchy control pad? It's worth minimum effort.
Although this video is 4yrs old. It helped me out. The only lubricant i had was for the garage door. Lol.. Thank you!! My fan is working again
Glad it helped!
Thank you for your help! It worked like a charm..
My boy got the old macro intro song XD, also great vid.
You had my support from the first 30 seconds!
Great video! Im going to try to same thing. Im tired of the same thing... like as if these 20 40 dollar fans are meant to last only a season. Ty!
Thanks for watching!
So vacuum and clean, thanks. Will try. Hopefully not too late. Mines real dusty
I felt it when he said "I'm tired of buying stuff"
Thank you. That’s all it needed.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I dont have the spray you got , so i used some durex lubricant and it works
I used WD40 and now my room smells like WD40 lmao. Gonna be keeping the window open for sure
Ayeee thanks bro🤙
Eureka! Thank you!
Thx so much 👋👏👏👏
Thank you thank you
Thank you Very Much Semper Fi
Does this legend still reply after 2 years
Been two years already?
Thank you for this, helped me i used cooking oil and it worked lol
way to improvise!
Thanks man this helps alot 😃👍👍👍👍👍
Wooh it's so helpful
THANK YOU SO MUCH SIR!!!!! THANKS FOR SAVE MY MONEY!
Thanku.today its useful to me❤
Sometimes old grease from the oscillation gears gets on the motor shaft and gums up the rear bearing. The whole fan, including the motor housing and the cover protecting the oscillation gears, has to be taken apart, then clean the old grease off of the rear of the motor shaft and apply WD-40 to the rear motor bearing to loosen things up.
I want to try this, and I have the exact same fan in the video, but I can't take off the white plastic back even after unscrewing it because the thing you pull to make the fan turn is in the way
Wonder how one can take apart the rear motor cover.. to troubleshoot some clicking noise as it oscillates. Thanks.
Thanks
Very helpful video
Thanks for watching.
I have a moretti fan with remote control. It suddenly stopped working. I don't know what happens, I don't think it over heat because i didn't use it much today. What should i do?
Thank you for this upload 🙌🏾
Hey thanks Rick I'm going to go try that out..
I always have to deal with the sealed bearings going bad, Motorkote spray works well and you can pick that up at Meijer. It's nice to run across one of my neighbors here in Noblesville.
Thanks for the tip!
I have a pelonis oscalting fan just like that one
Is the fan have two wires for the wires are black how do you have to join it on
What can i do if I don't have the heavy duty silicone spray?
What happens is the grease in the bearings dries up, you could pull the white cover and take the motor all apart, get you some non detergent 3 in 1 from Home Depot Lowe’s or the hardware store and whenever it spins slowly just take it apart, clean it and grease the bearings!
I gave you a like . Rick
My parents used to have a Polar Wind stand fan back in, I would say 2012? It was black, though.
My one I just cleaned it and spin the blade and it started. I think I’ll buy a new one in a timing cause I have this one since 2016
Do y'all know where you bought this? I'm trying to find one to replace mine.
The Elevator World sorry I don’t recall where we purchased this originally.
One of my oscillating fans would not spin, so I sprayed PB Blaster penetrating lubricant into the fan motor all along the fan shaft.
I repeated this for a couple of days, eventually the fan spun again and started to work..... unfortunately it only worked temporarily....the fan seized up again while in operation.
What is silicone? Is it the same as wd40? Do you unplug it when you took them apart or keep them on?
I have 2 fans beside me that quit the past couple days I really hope that I can fix them. Thanks for the video
Omg you saved my life frome dying
my said she won't buy me fan
Mine just needed a clean from all the dust
What if you don't have that spray thing?
One quick question, I fixed my fan using cooking oil as a lubricant. Do you think it will last long?
I would guess not long, but at least it is working!
@@RickBolt I see. I'll use a proper lubricant soon. I know that bunch of people on the internet says not to use cooking oil in fear of them getting mashed up and clogged the motor but it was my last resort. Thank you for the comment ❤
@@n.hhaziqah9950 where u pour it in
Great job man👍🏼
Bravoo
My tall fan running hot and it won't spin some times
Is silicone like wd40? Im trying to find something in my house i can use
I think my fan over heated and still not working after what I did that the video did soo help me
I think you should've oiled the fan motor.
does that fan still work?
After this it lasted a few months. Then I gave up on it and purchase a new one.
Yeah, mine work for only two more days, and it gave up again. I am wondering if the real source is something else than dirt.
It’s world I turned it off and turn it back on it spins slowly
Ditto on the tired of buying stuff…
I like fan
Does WD-40 work just as well ?
Few hours later that fan will stop again and you have to repeat. I have several that seized up like that and have been oiling spraying silicone grease and not luck.
Didn't own thr spray what type of spray you used?
silicone
If that does nit work. There is a thermal cutter that chutes off the circuit when it heats off. You cant short it. It will work but it wont stop it it heats up and can melt the motor and the plastic and the house.
Just saying.
What if you don’t have the spray
You can try cleaning it real good and see if it helps
It's called a vanguard
My fan is clean but it's still not working. :(
It's called a fan guard
Why you were so nervous 😅
Please, no music
Sir how to fix the up and down in stand fan please reply
Sorry, I am not sure. Mine is a tension fit that twists to tighten.
[cute]
LIKE YOU SHIRT 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Nice video but stupid annoying music...
Would WD40 work the same way?
Wolfie Wolf Laughter It might work for a bit but probably won’t last as long.
I have been applying WD40 or silicone on a daily basis as my fan will freeze up. Once I lubricate it it does fine. Unfortunately over time, about 4-6 hours later, it freezes up again. I’m wondering why this continues to happen. Is it time to just trash my fan?
Didn’t work
Oof I became a Roblox guy
I don't like your background music
Didn’t work buddy my fan caught on fire
Yikes! Why did it catch on fire?
Where is my post
I am have a hell of a time...for one I have done my 18 hours at the hospital to come home tomy fan not working so I turn u on and what do I get a vacuum not cool dude...so not necessary...anywho sparky what's with the silicone....and why do you not explain the reason and purpose..better yet the logic in it all...????? Still I went through your steps and OH to my surprise it did N O T. WORK hmmm.....are there flying horses where you play out these videos...just wondering...OH AND no worries dudes.....my fan doesn't work
I had the same problem with one of my fans, I sprayed it with PB Blaster penetrating lubricant and it still didn't spin....I laid the fan on the ground with fan facing up, and I kept on spraying it down with the lubricant for 2-3 days by the end of the 3rd day it began to spin again.
Oil is not electrically conductive so you can literally fill a bucket with oil and let just the fan motor soak in it for days.
