Lakewood HV 18-c Floor / Box Fan - Page 4 Questions & Answers
Cleaned a fan, now it's broken!!!
Is this the speed switch itself? These multi-speed fans have 4 or 5 wires which come from the motor which go into the speed select switch. The wiring may have the ends stripped, and this stripped end just pushes into the hole on the switch, and a little metal piece grips that stripped end.
Anyway, one possibility is to contact the manufacturer- look on their website or give them a call, see if a tech can give that info. Another poss. is to locate an identical fan and note the wiring locations on it. You can also experiment trial and error, though caution needs to be exercised here.
Duh
Behind the blades, on the post, should be a hole on the post which is a hex key retainer, c. 1/8". Counter-clockwise turn to release and entire fan blade assembly lifts off the spindle.
Need help troublshooting floor fan problem
This problem is caused by worn brushes, these are probably not replacable. You could replace the motor but you will have more money tied up in that then replacing the fan.
Reversed Direction
Get a replacement switch from the manufacture and wire it in properly. You have the windings mixed up from the motor.

yes that is the oiling hole,use some wd40 or 3 and 1 oil but not too much.the noise you hear is the back bearing of the motor
Lakewood mini tower fan model mtf-15. The oscillating fan stopped oscillating. How do you repair it?
Whether the fan has a dedicated oscillation motor or is driven by an extended shaft from the main motor, there is usually a button or switch to disengage the oscillating function. If this no longer has any effect the only cure is to dismantle the machine until the fault is discovered and then if a repair is possible - repair it...
Most domestic fans have no spare part support, mechanisms have a limited life and if "handyman" repairs aren't possible it is considered a throw-away item.
