The Electronic Controls Are Failing! | Holmes HWF0910AT Reversible Twin Window Fan

- The electronic controls within the Holmes HWF0910AT are showing signs of failure. Since I think the motors in this unit are of a decent quality, when the control board fails I will probably design a new set of controls using mechanical switches.

And thank you for all the informative videos you do.
You’re welcome.
Hi. I am pretty sure that is the exact model twin fans that I have. It was given to me. Does not work. I cut all the electronics out of the unit. All looks new inside & out. Plugged up a temporary wire. One that I knew worked. Fans started spinning after I helped with my finger. Obviously needs a capacitor. Maybe 1 for each fan. Can you tell me what size capacitors or maybe 1 large for this unit? I have lots of electronics. Solid state stuff, I collect & save. Because, there are no more Radio Shacks to walk inside & buy that kind of stuff man.
Did your unit not have a capacitor in it? It would be located in the center channel between the two fans.
I would be very cautious with it. You may never know when it could possibly blow
True.
beep so
I don't understand.
Hey Jordan U, Have You Done A Review on the Panasonic KX-TGFA30?
No.
I would no longer use that when it's not being monitored as it is, such as with your previous use case. Perhaps a heatsink can be attached to the resistor or it can be extended in isolation further away from any parts it can cause harm to.
Mechanical controls, especially modern ones, are just as much of a "when they quit" as electronic.
I never really leave the house anymore so it's not an issue for now, but when I go back to work it will be replaced with one of the mechanical control models if a fan is still needed. Quite frankly I think the concept of attaching a heatsink to the resistor is absurd.
Mechanical controls will eventually fail, yes, but not nearly as soon as this one will. This set of controls is constantly wearing itself out, even when the fan is turned off. A mechanical dial does not wear out as it sits turned off. It also should not throw off any heat providing it is wired correctly.
I like it
I don't like it.
I'm not convinced; I think he's a person.
@InfiniteMushroom No, I think he types it in every time because the comments appear at varying times of day and from time to time he makes a typographical error.
InfiniteMushroom I don’t think it Is a bot. If you go on to his channel there are videos, really weird videos though. I think it is something else.
I strongly dislike electronic controls. They are way too finicky and innaccurate. They should be able to last much longer than mechanical controls but they always fail very quickly. The only appliances I have with electronic controls are my dishwasher and stove. All the others are using mechanical controls and have never exhibited any sort of failure. A mechanical control modification would make this fan perfectly usable again.
I agree, I avoid them for those very reasons. I would never buy a stove with electronic controls, there is way too much to go wrong with that.
It's difficult to find stoves nowadays without them. Have to look at used markets.
@@andrewg593 I look at nothing else; all new appliances are junk.
@@JordanU When I get my own place, used appliances will be the only thing I consider. I agree all modern appliances are junk.
