20 Most Recent Lakewood R12-DSK Table Fan Questions & Answers

The problem you are getting is due to a warped fan blade, assembly of motor, or unbalanced spin radius. Your best bet on this is to seek a replacement from your manufacturer, as this is likely a fault of the assembly process, or even of manufacturing the fan blade set anyway. While the problem is not a major one, and you will be just fine using said fan for some time, it will shorten the life of the motor, which will eventually run dead due to extra stress. To prevent excess wear and tear, run the fan at a slightly lower speed, i.e. on 2, maybe even 1. At higher speeds, the centripetal force will cause the blades to warp further, and pull the motor back and forth, and thus, cause the unit further damage.

Unlikely I would think, a new motor will be available considering how the motor is a major part of the construction and how quickly new models replace previous models in the typical fan line up, even in the heavy duty and industrial types. Many fans use a brush type motor and after extended use the brushes will need replacing - have you had the motor checked? It might just need new brushes. If all else fails, there are small companies all over the world offering to rewind burned out motors, some specialise in the repair and rewinding of small motors, mostly to keep cherished or special power tools alive.

Whether the fan has a dedicated oscillation motor or is driven by an extended shaft from the main motor, there is usually a button or switch to disengage the oscillating function. If this no longer has any effect the only cure is to dismantle the machine until the fault is discovered and then if a repair is possible - repair it... Most domestic fans have no spare part support, mechanisms have a limited life and if "handyman" repairs aren't possible it is considered a throw-away item.
