It looks like you can purchase a motor here.
Make sure you have the correct data from your motor.
There is also a contact button so you can probably call, too.

Good Luck,

Hi mlh9188

You can replace your cord that was eaten by your dog very easy.
Disassemble your fan.
Be sure to mark how the fan is assembled with an awl or sharp instrument to scratch an alignment scratch on the outside of the motor case before you disassemble it....maybe even take a picture
Once you have the fan disassembled to the point that you can get to where the wire that was chewed is connected to the fan, you will disconnect the wires from the plugs,sockets,etc...take another picture before disassembly.
Take the old cord with you down to your local hardware store,loews,homedepot,ace hardware,etc.
Tell the person in the electrical dept what happened, and he will fix you up with a new set up.
Come home install the new cord and plug...keep away from dog...
Please take time to rate me

For Patton fan model U2-1487 120v 60Hz 1.5 amps. the 3-speed switch Patton does not carry replacement parts anymore. I suggest look some aftermark switch and check your wiring and the diagram that come with the switch. You might have the hot wire (power wire usually black in color) wired directly to the motor. Normally the switch will have a common wired which should be the hot wire, then it should have a wire for each speed.

Double check your wiring and wiring diagram. I'm Sure It was just a small oversite. Personally, I suggest you evaluate the cost-benefit of changing the switch or replace the equipment.

Good luck.

Thr issue you are having you need to look on the motor and see if there is a diagram but you have to use the grey and white for a capacitor because i have an older fan that has no capacitor. and use the red for high

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.

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.

these switches range from 10-20 dollars and are easy to find online search three speed rotary switch in google

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.

You can check with the local hardware store.

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.

put the 2 white wires together then try one of the other wires from the fan to the black power wire,if to slow try the other wire if that speed works tape off the other wire . it should be white to white and red to black green is ground

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 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.

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

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

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 ..

To purchase a replacement knob for your Patton U2-1287 fan, you can try the following options:
