Table fan repair
I have an oscillating table fan that recently stopped working. I'll
probably just buy an new one, but wondered if anyone here might have any useful suggestions. The fan's performance didn't degrade over time; it was working properly and then suddenly it just wouldn't turn on. I've tested the 4 way switch (Off-1-2-3) and it's working properly. And when the control is switched to any of of the "on" settings, the motor doesn't even make a humming sound and rotation can't be started by giving the fan blades a shove, so I assume the problem is not with the motor starting capacitor. The shaft can be turned freely by hand and there don't seem to be any broken or disconnected wires. Are there any other "usual causes" of this type problem that should be investigated before I throw this thing away? Thanks for your replies! |
