So you suggest he draw the flammable fumes over the electric motor?

Bathroom fans are 100% shaded pole motors that do not have brushes to
spark.

When I needed a motor for that 78-year old fan I posted about, that
burned up, I looked at the bathroom fans, and yes, they were shaded
pole, bruhless, but still one size too big for my table fan.
(Rewinding that motor is postponed now that it's not hot out!)

The on-off wall switch might spark, but only on turning off,
when the fumes are hopefully gone.
