Need to clean fan ,all fasteners removed ,can't
mcdevito75 here, Believe it or not, I use a good quality spray cleaner like Mr. Clean, a spray that removes dirt and then you wipe clean, I use the sray, let it soak, then with a garden hose clean it off. The fan motors are sealed so you don"t have to worry too much of water in the motors, still don't direct the water hose stream directly onto the fan motors, also allow the fan to dry real good, out in the sun. I never had a problem with mine useing this technique of cleaning.
Wire box fan direct bypass switch
Am I the only one reading that the OP is asking about a box fan.....never seen lights on a box fan...
I'm also trying to bypass the 3 speed knob on my box fan. Is it possible? I ask because preliminary testing of holding wires to each other turned the blade but began getting hot and with enough time I'm sure would've been a pretty nice fire.
Hi,
I have a pedestal
Seriously?? It's a $30.00 fan. IF you could get parts for it, they'll cost you more that the original price of the fan, but I guess if you insist. Go here and call them or chat online, they'll tell you if parts can be had.

Take front of the fan cover off hold the back of fan the push and pull out on fan blades from the center. If blades move in and out .The bearings on motor shaft worn out. If no movement try to blow out the motor with compressed air reassemble then try.
How can i get a replacement 5 amp 125 volt fuse for a holmes twin widow fan
It's worth noting here that it's more about the physical size & shape of the Fuse thats needed to fit your Fan.
You don't have to use exactly a 5 amp @ 125v fuse.
Any fuse that Fits and is in the range of 5,6,7,8,10 Amp and even 230v is ok.
The fuse is like a piece of soft metal that will melt if too much current is being drawn by the device. The Amps & Volts only define approximately when the fuse link will melt (blow). But as the fan gets dirty and older the LOAD it draws might get slightly higher. Enough to cause the fuse to slowly melt. So a small to 6, 8, or 10 Amp should work just fine. A wiring short will still cause the 10 Amp fuse to blow thereby keeping things safe. The manufacturer uses a fuse that fits in the space he has allocated & allows the unit to run continuously without blowing on a slight load.
But it is only a safety device to protect the device from internal shorts.
It stops a shorted motor or shorted internal wiring from getting too hot and possibly causing a fire.
But a 20 or 30Amp fuse would still blow if it is shorted.
For example...If the 5 A fuse keeps blowing then you could try say an 8 or 10 Amp fuse. If that blows then their is definitely a problem with the circuit. Don't put anything larger than 10 Amp in.
It then needs to be looked at by a service technician.
The voltage rating on a household fuse isn't that critical.
It's actually the wattage it takes to melt the fuse link. It's based on the mathematics of Ohms Law (Watts =Volts x Amps)
But thats another story....
Cheers
Trevor
