Hello,

We have an oscillating fan that is one of the more heavy duty models; the
base is a telescoping pole and all the electronics are within the upper
portion that sits atop the base's pole. Exact model name: SMC "Stand Fan"
made in China (of course) and it's 6 years old.

It now hums but will not spin anymore. I would assume this is a typical way
for these to die. Anyone hazard a guess what part is worn out and is it
worth the effort to fix?

Thanks!
