No power getting to my Lakewood fan...

Hi, I tripped over the power cord to my Lakewood in the dark, as it was running. I pulled the plug out of the outlet, but when I put it back there was no power going to the fan, and it seems completely dead. Is there an internal fuse or thermal trip that might need replaced / reset?
Thanks in advance
Keith
PS - I got laid off a few months ago, so would rather repair than replace

Thanks though

Maybe you tripped over it so hard you de soldered the wires form the inside. Have you openned it? Try it out if you didn't. Check the power cord and follow it all the way into the motor (with the motor openned). Check if one or both cables on the inside are desoldered.

Need electric wire to plug into fan and then connect to electric outlet Where can I get one?

Lakewood is long out of business and a stock cord is going to be next to impossible to find. But I can help you save some money and some headaches trying to find a new cord.
If I remember right the 007 utilizes a simple two prong cord. The tip of the cord is simple the fatter end is your ground and the smaller end is the AC power feed. These fans don't draw to terribly much power either.
It is a rare occasion I would buy an original cord because they are so darn over priced. Here is what I would do.

Go to your local hardware store and get a cord with a two pron tip on it. This may cost $6 top. Just a medium use cord will work for this fan.
Now you will see the wires for the cord on the back of the fan motor. The hot wire is usually black (In the USA and Canada) The green wire is ground and the white wire is neural. (This is for a three wire setup. For two wire omit the white wire. The wires on your fan should be colored Black and Green. Just remember that black is the hot wire and the other is the ground.
To make this less difficult the black wire off the fan will go to the wire that leads to the small end of the connector and the other wire (ground) will go to the wire (on the new cord) that tracks to the thick en of the connector. Placing your new cored flat and even makes this easier.
You will need to soldier the ends (or crimp the wires together) and make sure you insulate them with liquid electric tape, shrink tube etc.
Total cost should be less than $7.
I did find one place that sells the 3 prong cord http://www.nelsonappliance.com/Power+Cords+for+Lakewood+model+MC42+Fan.html for the fans. If yours should be a 3 prong tip then this one will work too but if memory serves yours is a two tip cord.

If you have any questions or comments please feel free to ask but you won't find a stock cord just for this fan because they are out of business.
Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa.

Regards, Tony

Trying to find replacement electric cord for Lakewood mc 24 lg drum fan

The Lakewood fan uses a computer power supply type female plug.
This is known as a C13 plug: three rectangular female outlets in a triangular pattern.
You should be able to find this type of plug at a good electronics store;
Fry's Electronics would be a good choice.
It may not come in the 10 foot length of the original, but that is what extension cords are for. :)

It seems like no power is going to the fan. it is completely dead when turned on

Fan is pretty simple, plug, cord, switch or motor. You can check the 1st 3 with an ohm meter. Just check for continuity, seeing if the different parts are good. If all are good, need new motor, or replace fan.

Need to replace the switch that has ,hi,low,med off on nit? please Help

you have 3 control wires (the 3 speeds) and a common wire. the common wire will go directly from the fan motor to the power source/cord and the other 3 leads will run through the switch. you could even use a standard dimmer-style lighting rheostat and connect it to the common and "high" fan speed wire and have infinitely variable fan speeds. hope that helps.
