20 Most Recent Patton U2-1487 Floor / Box Fan - Page 2 Questions & Answers

The wire cage around the fan is like a **** shell. There is a front piece and a back piece that make up the cage. Look for the screws that hold the legs on, one on each side and remove. Once this is done you need to pull the two cage pieces apart to get at the fan.

I have not been able to find a large picture of this fan, but I will tell you what I have run into in the past. On some of the fans there are small clips around the grill where the front and back pieces come together. It would be a case of opening these clips and sliding either the front of back grill off. Reverse the process when putting it back together. On others I have found small plastic wire ties holding the two grills together, one at the screw locations where the legs hook onto the fan. These need to be cut with scissors or wire cutters and replaced with new ones when putting the fan back together. New wire ties can be purchased at Home Depot or Radio Shack.
Please let me know how you make out and I will keep looking into this.

If you can not find the exact parts, you can pick up a generic rubber foot from the Home Depot or even at Radio Shack. They will most likely have a self adhesive on them, but you may want to also add some electrical tape to keep them in place.

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

I'm not all up on Patton Model#s, but this is an older unit, correct? You may try contacting Patton (Owned by Holmes now so you may have to go through them)

If they cannot help you, try www.dtvintagefans.org There's collectors there that may have parts fans that they may be willing to sell a blade.

Alternatively, you may try Grainger, as they sell an assortment of blades. You will need to match a blade to your motor though, which should be fairly easy as the Patton fans use a common McMillan motor which most attic fans also use.

Knobs for almost anything electric or electronic are available at Allied Electronics. Here's the link.

sounds like you need to box that back up & send it back to where ever you got it fro

go to lowes and get a universal one

I just want to know if I can purchase a NEW motor and what the cost is?

I have one of these pieces of junk. The motor swarmed, so the rest of the fan is perfect. I'll sell it for $10.00 plus shipping.

Question edited for clarity. This appears to be a Walmart, Amazon, eBay special without a maker website which usually means made in China and sold in bulk. There is limited help here and some videos. Motor and Capacitor wiring all works to the same diagram. https://www.google.com/search?q=20+inch+patton+high+velocity+floor+fan+wiring+diagram ..
