way to go tom posted to HP Compac forum on computers I moved you and the OP out of computers that is why noboby can understand you, and then answer wrong. amazing no> and yes don;t come back. that is always a good idea (sarc off) what not ask Lakewood this, it is there fan, not ours, we dont make fans at fixya, not yet. maybe next week? there is no lack of hot air here, as is on all forums. my guess the motor start capacitor is bad. call lackwood and ask for that or schematic or BOM or parts list see what they say, many things now, are throw-away. with no support at all. ok I google for you and here the are, ask them, its there design. http://www.lakewoodeng.com/Category.aspx?cid=1066

There is a motor capacitor on the fan that is probably going bad...in order to replace this capacitor, you will need to obtain the correct component either from the manufacturer or from an appliance parts center...be sure to hook it up the same way as the old one is hooked up..

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 ..

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.
