I have a small oscillating fan that worked fine last year, but goes very
slowly when I turn it on now. Can it be repaired, or should I toss it
out?

I'm not an electrical engineer, so be kind in your response, please. ( :-)


Chances are the bearing are shot. It would probably cost more to replace
them than to buy a new fan. Meantime, put a couple of drops of oil on the
end of the shaft if you can see it. It may be enough to get you through the
season.
