A few hours ago, I turned on my old antique electric table fan on the
little end table by doggy's end of her couch.At about 7:00 PM this
evening, I heard that hmming noise, I thought my Sony 27'' CRT Trinitron
Wega flat screen tv set that I bought brand new in January 2007 had gone
on the blink.About twenty minutes ago, I noticed the fan blades weren't
turning around.Oviously, the fan motor hung up, I unplugged the fan, the
noise stopped.

Try some 'Break Free' in the bearings, to free them up. if you
haven't damaged the windings, it will run again. You can get the 'Break
Free' at Wal-Mart in the gun department. It is a great teflon based
penetrating oil that will free almost anything. Don't bother with WD-40,
or other low grade oils, they will only make it harder to repair.
