Accutek aoj-1601 stand fan problem

A heavy cloth was left over the fan vent, and I think the motor burned out. It's not working anymore. Can this be fixed, cheaply, or should I just toss this fan and get a new one?

An electric motor shop may be able to rebuild the motor for you, or you may be able to find a motor with the same ratings. Chances are this would be pricier than a new fan though.

My Accutek not blowing out the air from the fan what is wrong with my fan

There is an 'enter' side and a 'blower' side to each fan. Is it spinning the proper way?

I have a A0X-1202 Accutek fan, it wouldn't start. It worked fine before but today it just won't start. Can it be fixed? What possibly could be the problem?

1st, remove the poer cord from your fan and determine if you have any breaks in the line by checking the voltage ( 120 volts) coming from the bare wires when it's plugged in. If nothing registers on your volt-multimeter, you can easily repair the cord or just replace it. Check to see if that works, and if not, ask me the next step.

My standing fan is humming and wont spin the way it should. It spins in the reverse direction at an extremely slowly, kinda like its dried(already oiled it up). When I try to manually give it a push start,...

Sounds like the shaft & bearings are gummed up. Clean them up with Liquid Wrench or WD - 40 (sparingly) spinning the shaft by hand to get it inside the bearings, front & rear. You should feel it loosening up. Then remove as much as you can with a cloth while spinning the shaft. Then relube with 3-in-1 oil. --- Oil alone will not cut thru the gum. Remember WD - 40 and Liquid Wrench are not lubricants!! You must use 3 -in-1oil or the likes.

Fan not spinning

clean your fan motor. remove carefully part by part(your fan motor, the coil and the rod). remove all the dirt. put machine oil at the rod, front and the back part. try to spin it. oil it and spin, do it again and again until the rod spin smoothly. and then put back those part as before you 'open' the fan. but remember, do not do this while your fan plug is still plugged to the power source. or you will be dead instantly. for your safety, you know. so be careful. last step, try it! :) i hope this will help you in fixing the fan.

Only works at high speed

the barector resistance would have worn out or would have broken in the rheostat so change that resistance then you would see ur fan working in low medium and high speeds

Accutek stand fan just hums, won't turn

That means the bearings are dry and have locked. Simply open the motor cover by removing the screw and pull the oscillation knob by rocking it side by side gently to have free access to the motor.

MAKE SURE THE FAN IS UNPLUG FIRST. Use cream type grease on both ends of the shaft. After applying the grease rotate the blades until they're freely and you feel the blades have released.

Place the motor cover back and the oscillation knob and plug-in the fan. Leave it on HIGH for 10-minutes or more to make the rotor loose with the grease.
