I got it at a plastic supply store. It's used to apply adhesive between acrylic plastic pieces. But I found it worked well for lubricants when I raced RC cars.
I watched this video over a year ago and now I'm watching it again. I thought I subscribed the last time , but I definitely did this time. I'll let you know if it fixes my fan.
I just used the screws that were on it from the factory this time. If I have to do it again, I will probably modify it in some way to make the screws easier to remove. But it hasn't made the squealing noise since I lubricated it.
Thanks for sharing my fan just started making the noise I'm going to try to put a couple drops on the shaft hopefully that'll fix it I'm not too mechanically inclined
This one's been working flawlessly since I oiled it. I think setting idle over the winter had something to do with the squeal, but this does seem to have helped it.
I got this one at a plastic supply store. The needle allows fabricators that work with Acrylic to squirt adhesive in between mating surfaces while the pieces are in contact with each other.
I literally can’t sleep without a fan loud one I have a medium medal one almost like that just stands and not on flooor last night it just got quiet turned off I had no idea so I took it apart cleaned it when I put it back together it’s making a squeaky noise I was scared lol so now I know it’s okay to just get some oil lol
take off the black motor cover. Look at the hole where the motor shaft comes through it. One will notice there is a material held around the shaft. This material is used to hold the oil in place. Oil This material it will hold the oil over a longer period of time. This fan is made to stop working. The design was created to fail on purpose.
Good advice, thank you. My fan has not made a squeak this season and seems to be running fine. That Electric Motor Oil is the best lubricant I've ever used. But I don't even know if it's still available.
@@accidental_relevance Duralube oil, Slick 50, Corrosion Free, Rust Check, Krown Rust will all work better because of the metal to metal contact in the bearings.
@@parkerbohnn The bushings are starting to squall again. I'll be exploring the ideals of replacing the bushings with bearings. Or using these fan blades on another fan I have that's too noisy in the near future.
My B Air floor fan just started making that noise last night I didn’t know what was happening! Thanks for the video
I'm glad you found it helpful. It's worked fine since then but now it's started to squeal again.
Good video brother, liked the hypodermic needle trick tip on the container.

Good video, thanks. Great point about bending the blades. Kinda screwed if that happens!
Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching and subscribing. I hope it works well for you.
Thanks! You helped me fix my favorite fan :)
I'm a big fan of this fan : )

Thank you for watching. I'm glad you found it helpful.
what size did you use for the drill cus those little screws are hard to take off

I seen a clip where the motor was taken apart
I need to do that because it's started squealing again.

@@accidental_relevance thank you for your comment I'll certainly try that
Where can I get one of those oil bottles with that need tip??

Thanks for your help😊
Thank you. I'm glad you found it helpful
Thank you! They make these poorly to make us buy a replacement every 2 years.
Mine sits unused through the winter months. But it started up this season with barely a squawk. It's been running smoothly since the lubrication.
Very helpful, thank you! Made me feel better that you mentioned zip ties too. 😆
You are so welcome!
Thank u soooo much

Bushings are usually the culprit for fan squeals. Bearings would solve the problem but would increase the price of the product significantly.
What about rhe one that stand up

Can I use bicycle chain lube? 😂😩
I don't know. I think chain lube is kinda thick. The advantage of the electric motor oil is that it's light and penetrates easily.
Use anything that prevents the undercarriage of a car from rusting. Corrosion Free, Rust Check or Krown Rust. Duralube oil or Slick 50 will also work.
