small fan repair
Sure, but to be economical, you have to do it yourself. It either
needs oil or a thrust washer has deteriorated and left the shaft
sticky (some use crappy fiber washers, good ones use stainless steel
and/or nylon). In either case you need to take it apart and take the
ends off the motor and clean and oil the shaft with a few drops of
turbine oil. It's not hard and will be educational.

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. ( :-)
Thanks.
