Unplug from outlet when moving fan from one location to another, before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning. The possible reason for light not coming on is either the power outlet in which fan is connected is faulty or the fan power cord itself is not plugged in properly.Remove and re-check both the possibilities.If both checked ok then its time to check the power to the outlet by meter.Remove the fan power cord and check it with continuity tester.if the power cord is short then continuity tester will not glow.if the power cord is ok the tester will glow red light.If power cord checked ok then its time to check the internal power supply board.There is a fuse and other electrical components on the board.If any of the one gets short or stops functioning the fan light will not power On. The components needs to be checked with meter and faulty component has to be replaced. 1. Set the fan on a dry level surface. 2. Plug power cord into any standard 120V AC outlet. 3. To turn the fan on, press either speed control button. 1-Low, 2=high. 4. To turn the fan off press the on/off button. 5. To turn on the oscillation feature press the oscillation button once. To turn the oscillation feature off press the oscillation button once.

Unplug the unit from the wall for safety. Remove the two screws in the upper hand grip recess (upper back of the unit). The two screws must be completely removed (not just loose and setting in the holes). Once the two screws are out, the back half of the fan cover can be slid downward (some amount of force is needed to unsnap the two halves from each other but be careful since the parts are all plastic and can possibly snap). Once the back is unsnapped from the front, you can lift the back half away from the front half and the inside parts are now accessible. I have found on my fan that it is the top fan shaft / bushing that is causing the squeaking noise that so many have complained about. I have found that periodically lubricating the top shaft/bushing will make the fan sound like new again - for a while. Every 2 - 3 weeks I need to clean (wipe off old lube) and re-apply fresh lube).

This indicates the autocutt off function is not working properly. Need to check and replace will resolve your problem.

maybe the fan reverse connection.

If it is making a loud humming sound it is probably getting weak and will have to be replaced. Is it doing it in all speeds? Motor replacement would probably not be worthwhile unless it is a very expensive unit. I'd opt to replace the unit.

put motor oil to the midst of your fan blade may there are lots of rust inside then wait 5 hours then try to pull again patiently...

That depends on what's burning! Unplug it and search online for the manual for that thing, or call Bionaire's help line once you look that up.

If you can safely do it, and are unworried about warrantee conditions, open it out and find out what was burning and what caused it to burn; for example, note the scorchy motor and/or control components and remove the cat toy out of the fan blade. At this point you get to observe and perhaps test whether the motor (or transformer, etc.) was burnt to ruin or can still run with care and reassembly.

The controler electronics are probably failing, or the motors are starting to pull too much current. Get in contact with Bionaire to find out who their local service is in your area for parts and repairs.

find the reset button on your unit and reset it. tnx

You could pick up an IR tester. Your local electronics hobby store should have them. Also, you sound as if you have some electronics ability, you could do a search on the net and find a electronics hobby site and build yourself a tester. This is what I did. Now, in my 27 years of electronics I have never seen a bad IR section of a remote. the most common problem is broken solder connections. remotes get dropped, tossed, stepped on, etc... Open the unit up and look for bad solder connections. They do not have to have a physical break to be bad! If they are grey instead of shiny or if you see a ring around the lead then the connection is bad. Reflow all connections and clean all contacts. I would think that will get it back to a working conditon.

try taping a nickle on top of one of the blades start in the middle of the blade (from tip towards motor) then turn it on see if it improves..if not change it to a different blade.. keep trying blades till you notice an improvement. Then fine tune it by moving the penny in towards the motor or out towards the tip. It is a time consuming task but it will work.

This might be a long shot, but have you tried turning the nut the opposite way? The nut will probably have to be turned the opposite way of the rotation of the blades. This might be the "wrong way". Some nuts are opposite to keep things from comming off. Like the nuts on the right side of my remote car to keep the wheels from falling off.

First check the lent catching screen and then the vent and hose and the ground below the vent exit. Completely clean those out. If you don't find the necklace in that process, turn the dryer on to see if it will eject the necklace into the vent hose. If it is trapped behind the drum, you should be able to hear it rattling around. However, dismantling the dryer can be dangerous so you should consider a hiring a dryer repairman to do that if it is necessary.
