-   Fan is not moving (just humming real loud). This seems to be a flaw on this model. Where can I get a replacement motor?-   craigte

-   My fan is also not working. I have removed every screw, but still cannot get at the fan motor. How does the metal surround come off without damage?
-   I have exposed the condenser coils and the fan motor. Refrigeration is working but it is obvious that the fan is not. How do I know if the fan is bad or if it is not getting the proper command (or voltage) from the control board. I can remove the plug from the main control board; What voltages should I expect going from the control board to the female plug of the fan ? The leads are black, red and orange.

THE FAN MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE OILING PORTS ON THE MOTOR. IF NOT, THE MOTOR NEEDS REPLACED. IF THERE ARE OILING PORTS ON THE FAN MOTOR, TRY SPRAYING SOME WD-40 IN THEM AND THEN ADDING SOME LIGHT MACHINE OIL TO THE MOTOR. THE OILING PORTS ARE SMALL HOLES AT EACH END OF THE MOTOR WHERE THE MOTOR SHAFT EXITS THE MOTOR HOUSING.
the fan motor operates on standard 110v household current... you can test the motor by hooking an extension cord with the female end cut off and the 2 wires stripped back 1/4 inch to the black and orange wires off the motor... wire nut black to black and white to orange then plug it in a standard outlet... if the motor is good it will run... then you know it's the board and you may as well scrap the dehumidifier... if the motor is bad replace it with a new motor...
easiest way is to simply cut in the middle of the wires from the motor and attach your extension cord this way... which ever is the problem (board or motor) you won't be reusing the motor anyway...
