As topic, I've cleaned the table fan, i remember it rotates very fast when it was new, never fall, never do anything to it, only used for like 2-3 years only. Any easy solution to make it spins like new ? Without getting a new 1 =P thanks

maybe there's dust or whatever inside that makes it getting slower?

sooo ?

Really hope i do not need to play with those internal parts.

change the motor to more powerful one...

i think the motor sudah ketat.

u need to spray WD40 inside. but it wont last long.

its time.

WD40 i got, i try to spray and lets see how it works, but i tot WD40 is to remove stain not lubricant.

myasiahobby sorry to say, this section is new kopitiam, if you want to troll, u need to get 1 level up, motor for all fans are different 1, its not compatible and beside that, changing the motor will cost more than getting a new fan.

yeah use WD40 and spray it. it occured to mine as well. tried the method long time ago (3 months ago), then back to normal speed.

what hafiez say is right it wont last long. but mine still running fast after spray with WD40. hope it not dead till forever.

And when the fan jams, the motor coils overheat and may cause a fire.

It is multi-purpose.

Turn it on a higher setting.

no it will work trust me. spray at the front shaft. (must open that blade 1st) then spin the shaft a bit using your hand until the motor is un-jammed.

Oo I know this. Last time sent to the mechanic, he said over time, the magnet inside will lose its magnetism. Sent for magnet power charge.

But in the end decided to buy new one. The old one still can be used but need time to start spinning.

If you open the casing of the fan (top casing) you will see a capacitor in it, something like this: http://image.made-in-china.com/2f0j00RBwtG...itor-CBB61-.jpg . Try to change this capacitor to a new one, and it will improve your fan speed. Remember to change the exactly same capacitive capacitor. You can get it from electronic store, price around RM5.

send to shop easier....dont burn ur house trying to make it faster diy

tried that one b4. the speed just more about the same. instead, grease the motor will do the trick.

TS, while the fan is turned off. have you tried to move the blade/motor using finger? is it a bit hard to move? if it is hard. definitely motor become a bit jammed. spray/grease with anti-corrode. else, get an advise from electrical technician, maybe need to change capacitor to more powerful one.

Try engine lubricating oil. Works wonders and is of much better quality compared to sewing machine oil or WD-40, which is a bit corrosive in the long run.

Just buy a new one-lah..It will not cost you a bomb nowadays.

yeah. here only costs RM29.90 for 14 inch

just spend a bit, ts.
