How do I clean the dust off a Stanley floor fan?

Remove the grilles, and clean with a vacuum cleaner dusting brush.

The fan uses security fasteners to prevent dis-assembly. To clean the fan, disconnect power from fan and use compressed air to remove dust.

The area you have highlighted is the CHASSIS FAN and is almost completely blocked by dust. Looking at the other photos, the entire inside of the pc is very dusty. Use dry, compressed air, MUST BE DRY AIR as any moisture in the compressed air may damage critical components. You need to blow the dust out of the cooling fan as well as the entire inside of the pc. Blow dust out of any other cooling fans you see around the same area as well as the fan in the power supply. Don't be afraid to use a lot of air to clean the inside but be very careful not to introduce moisture. When you are finished, there should not be any dust left in the machine. If there is dust or dirt that will not blow out, it has been hardened by humidity in the area where the pc is kept. If you keep it on the floor under a desk or in a similar area, make sure to raise it at leas a foot off the floor and clean it at least every 2 months. Hope this helps!

OH, NO. It gone south faster than Willy the Coyota trying to catch the Wild Road Runner. It's kaput, finny, it died, Don't throw it way. Please recycle it, copper is $3.25 per/lb, brass is $1.85 per/lb.
If you don't fill like stripping this China made Stanley Blower. There are charitable organization; such as, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Church's, recycling centers, etc. Sorry. GB you....stewbison

Make sure there is no lint or dust in the fan motor located on the lower back of the fridge. If you clean the fan of lint and dust it should help evaporate water in drain pan.

If you remove the cover screen and take compressed air or just a brush to clean out all dust and dirt from the motor the fan may run again
Dust is a standard contributor of these fans to quick turning

• very simple
• grab a philips screwdriver and a pair of pliers
• unsrew the three main screws holding it together. one on the carrying handle and the two screws at the feet of the fan
• pull of the outer shell
• you will see the fan filter
  
• use your pliers and unsrew the nut right on the center of the filter
  
• pull out the filter.
  
• begin taking out all that dust
• put everything back together and you have a WAY CLEANER FAN :D
  

Dust is evil to all mechanisms!! Keeep UNPLUGGED..then Vacuum all accumulated lint in fan motor assembly, and soak with WD-40...I just did detailed dust cleaning with toothbrush....Fan now runs awesome!! Good Luck

Usually this means dirt/dust/debris has gotten into the bearings. Needs a lube job.
