Screeching Noise Hi I followed one of your suggestions. It seems its the fan making the noise because when I stall it the noise stops. I even sprayed some WD40 on it and that seemed to temporarily some the problem. What should I do with the fan? Thanks!!!

Rubber dampners could be broken. Spray wd40 on bushings for a fast try to fix. Maybe the bearing is gone in the motor? Put sewing machine oil or use the wd40 for same. Also look to see if the blades are not hitting the outside guard housing.

Possible fault in the bearing bushes , in the first place you can spray a WD40 or even some light oil into the fan's rotor ends where the bearings are located. If the sound reduces clean and wipe off excess oil from the shaft side. Also make sure that the fan leaf is not making the noise due to any dirt accumulation or obstruction.

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

hi, the first thing i would have said the fault was was going to be a fan belt/ alternater belt if this is to loose or to tight then this can give you the noise you are hearing, one way of finding out if its a belt making the noise is to go out and get a spray like wd40 and then spray this on the belt then if the noise goes away you then know that its that belt causing you the problem.

If the belts have not been replaced recently then this could be the cause of your problem, spray the belt with a spray or even soapy water then give you car a try if your using soapy water make sure you get the whole belt wet then try the car if the noise is then gone you know the belt is at fault.

If you have power steering then low power steering fluid can cause the power steering pump to squeek so check the level and fill it up to the highest mark then start the car and turn the wheel fully left then fully right then back to the middle then check the level again.
Low steering fluid can cause the noise you hear.

If after doing this its not the belt making the noise and neither the power steering pump then the only thing left that could cause the noise you are having is a dry bearing on one of the pulleys now this could be the alternater pulley or power steering pulley basically any pulley that the belt is running on could be causing you the noise you hear.
To stop the noise you need to buy a spray oil or spray lube then give these pulleys a good spray all around where the bearing is in the middle if the bearing gets to dry it can sieze and cause you loads of problems so go and buy a spray lube and give all of the pulleys a good spray at the front and the back try and get it in towards where the bearing is in the middle this should then stop the noise that you are hearing.

you can spray wd40 on the pulleys but remember this isnt a oil or lube it will just stop the noise for a couple of minutes so you could tell witch pulley is causing you the problem your better of buying a proper spray lube and give all the pulleys a spray where the bearing is in the middle this should then solve any noises you hear.

Make sure you check the engine oil level to rule out the noise coming from the inner workings of the engine ok


Let me know how you get on or if you need further assistance ok.

try spraying some preferably graphite on belt or wd40

Check with stores that sold it and see if they will warranty replacement. I think there is a lifetime warranty, thats why you pay the big bucks for the Hunter name.

sometimes dust accumalates on fins of fans and causes rotation to deform and gets fan off balance causing noise .Also heat from lamp causes deformaties on fan and causes fan bearing to make noise.These fans can be replaced fairly easily

Hi,

either you can lubricate it by spraying wd40 on the bushings. Although usually fan motors are permanently lubricated there are still dust particles that get through and cause it not to spin.

It's possible that the alternator is making the chirp noise (bearing) but I would try this first. Start the engine and allow the engine to idle and open the hood and take a spray can of WD40 and shoot a short burst onto the bottom side of the belt and pulley. Dont spray allot as this will cause the belt to slip. The WD40 is to lube the pulley grooves and belt a slight bit. Hope this works!

If the noise going away every time u turning off the ac it's probably your ac compressor belt.however i will suggest to take some vaseline and rub it all over the exposed parts of your drive belt.
