Today...Kdk and Panasonic . Same fan. Different logo only.

Three of my this fan have this issue.

Just take out the chip board and replace all the capasitors. If know how to DIY will be cheaper.
I took it to a shop, replaced 3 capasitors for each fan... One fan repair costs about rm60.

Now it is as good as new. No buzzing sound
The fan spins like new also. Before this I thought the motor weaken. It's just one of the capasitor is not powering the motor fully.

Just remove the PCB chip board. Easy to remove.

Bring it to any electrical shop. Just say this is Panasonic fan. They will know what to do. It's a common problem.

No need to remove the blades
No need to unhook the fan.

Just remove the centre plastic cover. The inner cap you may need to remove the 4 screws. Not sure yours is which model

Once you remove the plastic cover.... You can just remove the PCB board. The PCB should be clip on. Before this You need to remove the two clipped cables first.

Same as mine

Use a bit of force to twist open the outter cap.
Did you twist the right direction?
After remove this outter cover.... The center cover will have 3 screws.

I just switch off the fan when removing the PCB.
If you want to be sure, just off the main power. Better to be safe than sorry.

No problem

Better to just replace 3.

Some people because want to save a bit of money, they will replace the faulty cap.

One month...quite good

Lol.

Mitsu is only rm400. Just give it a try.
Looks nice



I'm using this Pana DC fan for the past 3 years.
Switched on 24x7 since i started using it, never switch off ... Running all the time for the past 3 years.

No issues until today.
Still silent

I think it depends on which model

Mine is the DC motor model
Switched on 24x7 since 2017 until today.
No issues.

The DC models should be ok

Mine running for almost 3 years non stop...24x7 until today. No issues. Still quiet.

Update on my panasonic DC motor fan.

It's still working fine until today.
Switched on 24x7.
The only time I off it is when I clean the fan. Otherwise it is running all the time. I have a dog in my house. That's why.

Happy with this purchase.

Of course. Still switched on 24x7 since 2017.

Wind is good.
