tumpang tanya, my fan is on 24/7, and now the fan seems to be turning very slow. in this case, should i change the fan or ....

it's been nearly 20 years. thanks.

i have a 50 year old kdk fan running strong too, past down for 2 generation. Just won't die

Why is the kitchen exhaust fan running 24/7??

Frequent ON/OFF can shorthen the lifespan. But all very depend on the lifespan design.

Mechanical start/stop shock will wear and tear some portion.

Same with electronic/ electrical. Switching produce ark which is a high surge voltage that can damage component. Ark is cause by carbon built up at the contact in the switch.


1st Change the capacitor. Cheapest solution. Capacitor probably cause you less then RM10. But if it is remote control type, few capacitor need to change.

2nd the bearing.

Too much job? Chnage the whole fan lor.

I wonder if the stinky air from toilet caused degradation of the exhaust fan's components.

make too good, consumer buy one time kedai tutup loh. thats why today so many cheap thing but jgn harap will last long, because its mostly pakai buang.

this one is guarantee panasonic brand

Change to 'KDK'..

Almost all new ceiling fans these days are DC type.

The quality of electronic components in DC type fans, or possibly lack of or poor over-voltage protection are the culprit.

In the old days, ceiling fans are mainly AC type.
