How to find a window fan that can be taken apart to be cleaned

I've searched at great length and cannot find a window fan that can be taken apart to enable me to clean it. The Honeywell I have is filthy and it is impossible to get past the louvers to the dirt; all the other fans I have looked at online seem to be the same, utter garbage to be discarded once they are dirty. HELP!!!

I use this kind as a window fan and it’s great and easy to clean. Very inexpensive too.

Hmmm sounds like you should ditch the fans as you live in dirty area and git yerself an air conditioner.

SOURCE: I owna honeywell commercial grade

The front wire grating has hooks all around the edge that latch onto the rear grating. You need at least two screwdrivers, blades or thin & stiff shims to pry half the hooks off. Do this by inserting your shims between the front and rear grates, on either side of a hook. Then, lever your shims such that the rear grate warps enough to free a hook and let it pass in front. (Note: this IS difficult; the first hook will not want to clear the rear grate. It helps to have an extra pair of hands, and/or another object to temporarily keep the first hook seperated. It may also be possible to start with three shims and clear two hooks in the beginning). Continue clearing the hooks in a consecutive fashion (they're progressively easier) until half of them are off, at which point the front grate should come off using a little muscle. A couple notes: if available, a plastic shim is preferable over a metal one because it shouldn't damage the nice finish as much (alternatively, wrap your shims in cloth). It is NOT necessary to remove the whole fan cage from the stand to do this. Expect the reverse process to be equivalently challenging. Please wear safety glasses in case your shim breaks or slips. Lastly, good luck if you try to lubricate the shaft. I've tried multiple substances, but day-long blowing continually dries out the lubricant.

It has six phillips-head screws around the perimeter. Loosen all six screws and the halves separate. Be careful loosening the screw that holds the motor in place - I ended up stripping the head. If you can use a vice grip to get it started, that may help.

SOURCE: Cleaning a 14F0 Honeywell Fan

thank you for using fixya. The blade cage has locks and screws that you can remove from the back. once the cage has been removed, you can remove the blade attached to the motor using a vacuum cleaner or you can remove the blades by undoing the screw on the center detaching it from the motor.

How do I get the fan off the fan blades in a 1994 dodge spirit?

If the OEM version is designed to be taken apart, there is a clip that holds the fan blade onto the motor shaft.
Its easier to buy the fan blade and motor together.

Where can i get a replacement on board fan from?

fans are pretty standard things with only 2-3 different sizes so you wont have great difficulty getting one from your local friendly neighbourhood pc repair shop...or electronic retailer unless you live in the Australian Outback or Outer Mongolia or somewhere equally remote. Try a Tandy/ Radioshack/Maplins/PC World-you don't say what country you're in so can't 2nd guess what retailers are near you.
Don't forget, these things aren't motherboard specific; if it's your cpu chip fan then that's more specific to the cpu processor; try searching for that, and if it's just a motherboard cooling fan, then measure the length of one side in mm, and search for that size fan. The fan voltage is always 12volts.

Honestly, try harder. If you've taken the thing apart, you're more than half way there. You probably just need to unscrew more stuff and pry more parts out.
