Do I need a new fan blade if I replace the fan or will the old one go back on fairly easy? Ecoquest fresh air

You should be able to get the fan off w/ a small screwdriver & some needle nose pliers for the metal clamp that holds the fan onto the shaft. Look on Google for suppliers to get a new fan & clamp. It shouldn't be expensive.

here are parts for your air purifier, including the motor and other parts you may need in the future.

hope that helps, good luck

I'm thinking it's the circuit board. I would call Vollara (they bought Ecoquest) & see if you can get a circuit board or send back to them to fix. 800-989-2299. Or, you can Google circuit board for Fresh Air & see if there are any suppliers that you can get it from.

please give more info

sounds like the bearings are going bad on the motor check and make sure the fan blades aren't rubbing anything at higher speeds sometime's they will flex

Did you clean the plate contacts with alcohol? How old is the plate? Is the glue that holds the grid in place turning brown? If it is, it may need to be replaced. Call (336) 499-2505 and ask for free email supplemental cleaning instructions before you do anything else. The instructions may help you solve the problem.

Place a drop of two of sewing oil or other light oil on the fan at the shaft. Tap lightly on the fan with a teaspoon to create vibrations. Push the fan on slightly, then place two fingers on opposite sides of the fan, reaching all the way under the fan to the shaft to pull it off.

The fan needs oiling (except for the Fresh Air, which has sealed bearings and no removable front grid). I need to know which model you have to help you reach the fan shaft. However, if you're handy, you can figure it out. Remove the front grid (if there is one on your model) and pull off the fan blades. Use a light household oil (sewing machine, hair clipper, 3-in-1) to drip down the shaft as you turn it manually. This should take care of the problem.
If not, and if you need more extensive repairs or rebuilding, call Vollara (new name for EcoQuest) customer service at 1-800-989-2299 and use 16618 as your dealer referral number.
