The "tab" to remove the blade is usually a PITA hex plug on the shaft . These fans were manufactured by RMR in Phila PA - If you need a replacement without tearing the wall apart.
@@Alexthefancollector I’ll check it out. Also, my fan motor is hard wired (black and white wires). The motors at Home Depot are plug in. Not sure what to do if I ever need to change it.
@nosurfzone9457 exactly. WD40 literally stands for 40th attempt at making a recipe for Water Displacement. Thus it's not a long-term lubricant at all.
That fan has a proper multi-pole motor which if oiled and kept clean will preform much better and last much longer than the single pole C frame motors they use now. There is no reason to replace something that is working perfectly fine just because it is old.
Yes cut off power but that particular one is like plugging in cables to a computer monitors you know but safe is best cut power.If in Apartment just cut all switches if you don’t know or I’m sure go to bathroom flip switch if you hear northing or light doesn’t come on no power switch it out but I don’t recommend cleaning that by taking apart better ways but if I’m a pinch gotta do wat you gotta do
@@jayasmrmore3687 just the fan noise itself and it's making me think why don't we position the fan in the unfinished attic space near the exhaust port instead of in the ceiling at the intake port? Wouldn't that make more sense noise-wise?
I would highly advise against this. Not as simple as it sounds and pretty easy to fuck up. Also please say what kind of lube to use. Certain brands are toxic and people don’t know wtf they’re doing.
it IS pretty simple, they just unplug and the motor board comes out. It certainly is a good idea to oil a fan motor even if it is a "permanently lubricated" motor. Although he did not do it correctly, there are felt "oil wicks" that should be oiled. It also looks like he used WD-40 or something, which is the wrong thing to use. An oil such as 3 in one motor oil in the BLUE can, or zoom spout are fine. Most of the newer ones use an even simpler design that you don't even need tools to take out, and the motor is a simple c frame shaded pole motor, although it is definitely worth keeping the old fans going as they are much better than the crap of today.
Yeah it is pretty simple, I just did it but I had one with a light. Had to look up how to get the cover off but it was straightforward after that. Didn’t lube it but it looks simple. I just vacuumed. Did put in a new brighter led bulb in. Runs quiet now. It wasn’t even screwed in all the way I had to push the tabs in that are use the hold a side, only wood on one side lol. On the video I would have put a new cover on
Great even though it’s 10:30 at night now I gotta go and try this RIGHT NOW
Just did this today but i took the fan out and brushed everything off and oiled it and it’s back running with no noise

Should have painted that vent
Um no they should just remove the grille and and wash it
Or just get a brand new one for cheap
I lube my fan with WD-40 and it’s like brand new! But it only last 4 days before I have to do it again. Why does it get so dusty/dry!?

WD-40 is not meant to be used as a long term lubricant at all. Its more to get things unstuck, like rusty bolts, pins, motor shafts, yada yada.

Thank you all! I tried sewing machine oil/lubricant and it fixed it all for me
Lube it up with what? Probably a dumb question but I won’t know if I don’t ask
I always say get an exhaust fan stronger than what you need. The worst that will happen is happen is fresh air moves in quicker
Just replace that nasty thing
No it is a very rare
If you can't clean the ceiling fan cover, buy a new one. A replacement cost less than 10 dollars.
Worked for me!
My celiing is 10 ft high .. maybe when i get a ladder lol
I got electrocuted trying to do this
Still got a burn scar on my thumb
سلامتك
Its called lock out and tag out jeez
Turn off the electric retard omg
Wow, cant believe someone didnt turn off the bathroom power before touching something live. 🤦♂️
@@cranexdragon1046nice! Great safety training ;)
That fan is so old. It should just be replaced

Maybe, but if it will work after just being cleaned it seems unnecessary
Don't have to disconnect anything first?
He literally disconnected the fan before he took it out. 🤔
@@gzus1482 LOL just saw the plug ...it was dusty

Is that a dry/Teflon lube?
Should I use the dry lube on it?
What oil should I use?
special wd40 dont catch on fire try that just use water
You literally could have just replaced it, anytime you have something in your house that needs replacing you upgrade it.
You can also give that vent cover a quick scuff and spray paint white to get rid of that 1970's ugly look. 👍😂
Looks like they need a new one😂
Clean off that fart dust 💨
Ok so now my bathroom fan moves a lot more air but now it's even louder.
Squealing noise is louder you mean?
@@jayasmrmore3687 just the fan noise itself and it's making me think why don't we position the fan in the unfinished attic space near the exhaust port instead of in the ceiling at the intake port? Wouldn't that make more sense noise-wise?
@@elbowstrike wouldn’t that make the suction less though
@@jayasmrmore3687same cubic feet per minute and same resistance in the same length of tubing no matter where you put it
Just buy a new one at this point 💀
