WD40 is a Water Displacement (formula) 40 liquid. Use 3 in 1 oil or grease. People use WD40 on everything, but that is not what it is for. Also, when the solvent evaporates, it leaves a water resistant film, which is sticky and attracts dust.
If you put a piece of plastic tube in your ear, you can accurately track where the squeak is coming from. In my experience, it is the frame flexing and not the mechanism.
Not sure what you mean unless theres somthing wrong with yhe blower bearing ect there isnt much you can do to make it quieter if its a bearing you will have to get the fan changed it is a diy job but its a ling job as you have to remove best part of the dash board or try finding the air inlets and squirt wd40 or the equivalent in andvthe fan might quieten down if it gets coated in wd40 youll just get a bit smell for a few days
You may need to slide the dishwasher out slightly. On both sides at the floor level are the door springs, pulley, and cables. The cable is usually attached to the door hinge--then goes around the pulley wheel and goes back to the spring system. Most noise comes from the hinge pivot point or the pulley axle. You can spray all those parts with something like WD40 or if you don't like that smell try a silicone spray. Do both sides and work the door up and down.
Probably a belt noise try takeing a bar of soap when its idleing and touch it to the sides of the belt don't stick your hands in the fan but this should quit it down right away you will hear it stop if it is a belt noise
hi, if you go to a car spares shop you should be able to buy a cheap accessory screwdriver kit that should have the correct adapter you need to undo the screws,
but as for using wd40 i wouldnt go that route as wd40 is an easing spray and not a lubrication, it would stop the noise for few days but then it would make it worse as the wd40 would dry up any grease or oil that is their, instead use some spray lube you can also buy this from a car spares shop or you could use something like machine oil or petrolium jelly to grease it up with this will then stop the noise and it should also work a bit better as it will be able to turn a bit easier
1999 probably has a serpantine belt (multi grooved). I would guess that you may have a squeaky belt or more likley a bad bearing in on of the idler pulleys. Remove the belt and spin the idlers by hand. If one feels rough or makes noise replace it.
I would unplug the fan and clean off the motor shaft behind the fan and vaccum the motor housing and around the motor ends.
Once you've got as much dust and grime as possible removed, use some 3-in-1 oil and LIGHTLY oil each end of the motor shaft (behind the fan and next to the motor housing) and if possible, at the other end of the motor housing.
Make sure the fan is UNPLUGGED when you do this!!! Give the fan a slow spin by hand and hold upright to allow the oil to seep down the shaft into the bearings.
I usually do this once or twice a year on my portable fans and unless the bearing isn't completely worn out, it usually helps the fan spin more easily and keeps it running very well.
