Problem for Vornado Circulating Fan
Blade is loose
this is a standing vornado fan with full variable speed control. The blade assembly (looks like one piece) slides from one end to the other of the shaft about a 1/2 inch to an inch. More accurately put, the shaft slides in and out of the motor about that much. The fan always makes a vibrating noise unless tilted up so the fan blades are slid down towards the motor.
Any suggestions on how to take out the slack or whatever the problem is?

- Found another solution as Vornado does not sell parts. I used an external homemaid bushing to act as a spacer to prevent shaft from sliding in and out of motor.Best Solution

on the inner part of the motor [fan side] look for an external snap ring and a fiber spacer. the armature fits all the way into the rear part of the housing, the other housing goes over the motor shaft and must press against the snap ring and fiber washer.
