Tower fan wont sustain power at start up

3 speed fan and oscillation are all that it does. Have pulled apart and made wiring diagram. Unit will beep at startup. Press ON/OFF momentary button will cause a pulse of fan rotation and 2 beeps. Continually holding the On/OFF button down will start fan and beep twice, pause and repeat. Motor OK. Controller board exposed, soldered fuse OK. All components floating at 230v a.d - danger to work on live. PCB labelled ND-668FND - D Would love a replacement. Suspect that the DC power to the chips fails under load as display drops off. May consider replacing electro caps. No thermal protection visible. What appears to be a hall effect detector has been deliberately wired away from the rotating squirrel fan so I believe this function is disabled. It's an OMega Altise tower fan worth about $ 90 AUS.

Hi,
From what you are saying the circuit board has gone bad... the relay that turns on the power to the inducer must have went bad. You will need to buy a new circuit board and replace the old one. Be sure to make all wires or change them over one by one so that you keep track of where they all go...
This is a very common problem and finding a new circuit board should not be hard.

Good luck!!

SOURCE: FIC P4M 915G/PD1 system fails to Power Up

You should always try a new power supply if possible. After all, it is one of the most likely components to fail - it's got moving parts (one or more fans), just like your hard drive (spinning platters), one of the other most likely parts to die.

That said, in this instance it probably is the mobo. FIC made great motherboards, but they got out of the business so you won't find the same one anywhere. If you have to replace it, you may be able to get out of a Windows reinstall by getting a motherboard with the same chipset, which looks like a 915/G, though any 915 based board might do. You may still need to do a repair install, but in many cases the same chipset allows you to boot and then just load all the new different drivers for the new board.

SOURCE: Protection displayed and shuts off

Hey guys! Im glad you found my solution on my blog, and posted it here. I hope you ccan fix yours, or get it replaced on warranty. Im happy to help you with anything, the capacitors i think was 4,7 uF, 100volt, not sure.

SOURCE: Wiring the replacement 3 speed switch (fan motor)

I called King of Fans and the rep that I spoke with gave me the correct wiring for the 3 speed switch:

L White
1 Yellow
2 Blue
3 Black

The problem is that after I wired it this way I am getting the same result (off on 3 settings and a motor hum on 1 setting). So, either the Westinghouse switch that I bought at Home Depot is not compatible or it is the capacitor. The saga continues.

Sounds like your motor brake is out. Usually the discolor on the brake indicates it has overheated.

I have this fan and unfortunately don't have a legend for the 5 buttons on top and what they do. is there a manual somewhere that tells me what each button does?

Hello, Chris -

I believe the Hawaiian Breeze tower oscillating fan operates much like the Aloha Breeze oscillating tower fan. I found an image for Aloha Breeze oscillating tower fan buttons, along with descriptions of what each button does.

I am not sure if the buttons on your fan are in a horizontal curve or a vertical alignment. However the attached image should help you figure out what the buttons on your fan represent.

Tower Oscillating Fan Buttons
1. Power - On / Off
2. Speed: slow, medium, fast
3. Timer: May be 15 levels; 1 / 2 hour setting for each timer level; Each touch of the button adds 1 / 2 hour of running time
4. Oscillation: Stop / Start fan oscillation
5. "Wind": Normal, Natural, Sleeping

Table fan winding&connection daigram

  • I have a Bionaire brand table electric fan.
    • It has a 3 speed fan motor.
    • The electric motor is a BM-122 Decomin brand 3 speed motor.
      • There are 6 wires:
        • Red wire.
        • Black wire.
        • White wire.
        • Yellow wire.
        • Gray wire.
        • Blue wire.
          • The motor has a 4mu 250volt capacitor.
  • This fan has an oscillating grill with independent sync motor, and timer circuit.
  • Something was wrong with the solid state circuitry (everything worked but the motor!), but a quick test of the motor indicated it does work.
  • The motor uses a start and run capacitor.
  • I decided to change controls to a simple mechanical switch and fore go for now anything beyond 3 speeds.
  • The printed circuit board shows the following connections:
    • Black wire
    • Blue wire
    • Yellow wire
      • Are respective for the:
        • High fan motor speed
        • Medium fan motor speed
        • Low fan motor speed
  • I think the gray wire goes out to the oscillator motor.
    • The Red wire is marked as Line, for the power source.
  • All wires are in continuity with each other EXCEPT RED is not with any other wire. How to Verify Fan Motor Wiring Connections
    • Checking the Motor and Capacitor Connections
    • Double check your connections using the fan wiring diagrams.
    • You should see that there is a separate motor winding for high speed.
      • The concern is that there is a capacitor for the motor.
      • So I'm thinking that the motor may have to start with the slower speeds first.
      • and not start in the high speed because the motor or capacitor has not been designed for that type of operation.

My lasko tower fan gets power n wont blow air

The bearings on the motor are dry and need oil. It's really not made to be oiled, but you may be able to take it apart and get some oil to the bearings if you want to mess with it.

If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/craig_3fa289bf857b1a3c

Aloha Breeze Tower Fan Will Not Oscillate

hi,

yes this is the oscillation motor, and they generally arent servicable, and need to be replaced, you can try and oil it, sometimes they have small air vents, and you can do a voltage test with a voltmeter but I believe the motor has failed or is gummed up, you can try and take it apart, they are held together with bent metal compression areas along the circumfrence of the motor, try sewing machine oil, you might have to do some research to find a replacement motor, maybe take it to a local clock shop, those motors are very close to what they used to put in old wall clocks.

good luck
