20 Most Recent Patton 20" CVT Performance Air Circulator, Gray Fan Questions & Answers

You can generally find new motors at an electric motor shop, check the yellow pages. However they are many times more money than a new fan. Then add time and your drive to get the motor, my recommendation is purchase a new fan, cheaper in the long run.

I use a stiff paint brush.

The fan blades have to be balanced for it to run smoothly.
This website looks like it's straight from 1995, but the instructions are good and you should be able to rebalance your fan without too much trouble.

There is usually a pin in the shaft of the motor, that corrosponds with a slot in the fan blades, it sounds to me like either (a) the pin somehow came out, or (b) the slot in the blades is rounded. Hope this helps

I would recommend that you replace your fan. It sound like you got good use out of it. A good fan for you may be the Lasko 3900. Not only will it circulate the air but it will filter it also and the filter is easily replaceable. Here is a link to Amazon where you can check it out.

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.

3. Local appliance repair shops: Visit local appliance repair shops or stores that specialize in HVAC or fan parts. They may carry replacement knobs or be able to order one for you.
4. Contact customer support: Reach out to the manufacturer's customer support directly via phone or email. Explain the issue and provide them with the model number and any other relevant details. They may be able to assist you in finding a replacement knob or direct you to an authorized dealer.

When contacting suppliers or searching online, it's helpful to have the model number of your fan (Patton U2-1287) and any additional information about the knob size or design. This will ensure you find a compatible replacement that fits properly. Alternatively, if you cannot find an exact replacement knob, you could consider using a universal fan knob that is compatible with your fan's control switch. Universal knobs are designed to fit a range of fan models and may offer a suitable solution.

if you take a picture of the post the knob will be screwed onto and bring that pic to your local hardware store hy can usually match you up with some sort of generic knob

Most have a one-time thermal fuse wired into the motor. You would have to remove cage and fan blade, unscrew motor mounts, open motor casing, locate fuse by cutting open or sliding off the thermal sleeves, cut fuse out and resolder a new thermal fuse in. Should be able to locate replacement thermal fuse online. Can also just splice ends together but then you lose thermal protection and a fire can result. It is a good temporary fix to diagnose if you have burnt out one of the motor coils.
