Our ceiling fan in the den, after approx. 10 years of good service, has
suddenly began emitting annoying squeaks and rattles. I looked inside
the "cowling" and found nothing loose, but the motor was hot as blazes
and I nearly burned myself on it. The blades are all securely tightened
on. The motor appears to be entirely enclosed. Is there a way to oil it,
or should I start shopping around for a new one?
