Noise when fan runs.




By yoderhaus on Nov 18, 2008

" "
I have a Kenmore Quiet Comfort console humidifier.
When I turn it on the fan makes a noise, but other-wise it is running ok.

Where do I oil it?? (I intend to use WD-40, is this the right lubricant??)

Help, I need the humidity.

-   I have a similar problem. It appears that when the fan runs it creates enough of an uplift that the fan actually rises up in the guard. The noise comes from the fan blade rising & then falling slightly & then the process repeats. I can't see how a new fan would fix this. There is way too much play in the motor shaft vertically. I don't feel any axial play though & if I tip the motor so it's on it's side it runs fine.-   cartershp

try cleaning the fan blades
dust/debris build up unbalances the fan and wears the bearings out
oil will only cure the problem for a short while - best option is to relace the fan
