GD Midea FT30-3D: Grinding noise ocasioned by electromagnet scraping the coil. Solution?

Sat, 10 Aug 2019 04:58:04 -0700

I disassembled my floor fan because it was making a grinding noise that wouldn’t let me sleep. I then proceeded to lubricate all attatchments, as well as the gearbox (cleaning it all up, of course), but the noise persisted and I found out that the electromagnet in the middle is grinding the coil. Since the shaft of it is supported by two attatchments (they pivot if you move the shaft on one end to the side), they supposedly stay leveled when the shaft is spinning, but even so, the electromagnet in the middle grinds the inner sides of the coil. What can I do to fix this?

Comfort Zone CZ6C: Can I add a drop of oil to small fan motor? Where?

Sun, 15 Apr 2018 10:49:06 -0700

Fan was working fine. Turned it off. Next time I switched it on, it was trying to get up the power to spin the blade, but couldn't quite do it. The blade would move a fraction of an inch, then no more. I cleaned it, but thought a drop of oil might help lubricate it again. Doable? Where to apply the oil?

Delonghi Desk Fan VLT 1000: Need help wiring capacitor in 2-speed pedestal fan

Fri, 28 Jun 2024 23:06:12 -0700

This is not a desk fan - but no other suitable choices available. I purchased an old pedestal fan that was missing a speed control switch. This must be a 2-speed fan as there are only 4 wires from motor (white, red, yellow and blue). I know that Red is hot, white is common, blue is low and yellow is high. I found a 2-speed pull switch and have 2-wire capacitor. I have the wires and switch connections sorted our - but am unsure where to connect the 2 capacitor wires. I can get the 2 speeds to work - but don't think I've found the right combo for capacitor.

Q: Capacitor; is it 1 wire to hot (white) and 1 to high speed (yellow)?
