20 Most Recent Lakewood HV12WR Window Mount Fan Questions & Answers

Did you ever find a switch for your HV12WR? I need one.

Try to google it.

Possible that the motor is burned out.
However, I would see if the fan blades move by pushing them with your finger. If they do not move very easily, I would UNPLUG the fan and work some WD40 into the ends of the motor shaft to loosen them up. If you are capable, you might want to clean the ON/OFF switch as they do get dirty. Any cuts or breaks in the power cord? Blown fuse or circuit breaker? SAFETY FIRST!! If you are not comfortable with electricity, do not attempt to clean the motor or switch.

Steve, Your fan model is HV-18-WR; I have 2 with the same problem. I can't find a source for DYE-3606 switches either. Here is one source for rotary switches; one might be suitable: http://www.alliedelec.com/Catalog/Indices/Products.asp?sid=46BBAA8076DBE17F&N=4294828748 I can draw a diagram of how the existing switch is connected, but I don't know how that would translate to a replacement switch.

Take the motor out and take to a local motors repair and rewinds shop. Drop it on the counter and say "can I have one of these please". It is just a motor, form size, voltage and speed. https://www.google.com/search?q=Lakewood+model+HV-18+parts ..

You could repair it yourself or take it to a local electrical store or a vacuum repair shop. They are just a box, a motor and a switch. https://www.google.com/search?q=lakewood+fan+repairs ..

you would have to go to a place that sells motors and get one by motor type, that than the appliance make and model. All electric motors are standard by size, voltage, speed and fixings. https://www.google.com/search?q=lakewood+hv+18+replacement+parts ...

Unlikely I would think, a new motor will be available considering how the motor is a major part of the construction and how quickly new models replace previous models in the typical fan line up, even in the heavy duty and industrial types. Many fans use a brush type motor and after extended use the brushes will need replacing - have you had the motor checked? It might just need new brushes. If all else fails, there are small companies all over the world offering to rewind burned out motors, some specialise in the repair and rewinding of small motors, mostly to keep cherished or special power tools alive.

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.

hello martin you can buy a dimmer to slow down your fan 800 watt at least
