Electric motor struggles to start up
Hi,
Is there anything I can do to get the electric motor for my favorite desktop fan to start up properly again? When I turn on the fan, the motor axle/propeller try to rotate (while the motor hums), but if they do, it's usually only very slowly and for just a few moments before they stall completely. However, I can usually get the propeller rotating steadily at full speed by quickly rotating it by hand several times right after I switch on the fan. Thanks in advance for your replies, Darro |
