HEY< that could be the trouble, before you buy a circuit board cause it sounds like its doing its job. Take the rubber hose aloose from the fan switch and and while its starting, put the hose in your mouth to feel a suctions if not or a soft suction , then remove the hose off the motor while off and clear the end out with something that ,ll clean the opening out and connect the hose back and start the system again. T Y V M!

put the 2 white wires together then try one of the other wires from the fan to the black power wire,if to slow try the other wire if that speed works tape off the other wire . it should be white to white and red to black green is ground

I use a stiff paint brush.

It' probably just the switch or thermostat

I just hope that it is still under warranty. If it is, don't
tinker on it, otherwise the warranty is voided. Call the
dealer about it, and let them service or replace it. Tell
them the heater no longer works.

If you know how (and have the tools;PULLER,nut drivers,slotted and phillips screw driver,hammer,deep socket set,dikes,vise,work bench,and some high temp bearring grease) to take things appart in general, you should be able to disassemble the fan motor and either pull bearings off shaft and replace or repack w/high temp grease if not sealed bearrings. If cannot aquire a puller for removal then attempt to blow all dirt/dust off bearring and try thumbing some motor oil (or vegetable oil if no motor oil available) while turning bearing on shaft back and forth till bearrings free up.Then reassemble electric fan motor reverse disassembly(be sure to keep parts staged as they come off for reassembly in area off the work area) "NOT" over oiling the bearrings into electrical/copper areas.

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

Return heater to Home Depot.

sounds like you need to box that back up & send it back to where ever you got it fro

THAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM, BUT CHECK YOUR UNIT AND SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL FOR YOUR UNIT. 2 UNITS THAT I KNOW OF ARE PATTON M# HF-10 AND SEARS M# 201-7208

There may be a nut on the shaft that is loose. Remove the surrounding grill and remove the fan. That may give you the clue needed to repair it without new parts (which are likely to be difficult to obtain).

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.

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.

I hope this helps you.

i have a good blade for model #u2-1887.

1. Go to the following web page: http://www.intextechnologies.com/webpages/download-driver.aspx
2. Under the "Download Drivers" section, click "Fax Modem".
3. Click "Smart Link".
4. Depending on which operating system you want the drivers for, click either "Win 2k/XP" or "Win 9x/ME" to download the appropriate drivers.
5. Install the driver you downloaded in the previous step.

Can't see why not , can you take the switch apart ? If so could just be a loose wire that is not making contact.

If you are up to disassembling your motor, you will find a thermal cutout near the windings which frequently fails open. Replacements are readily available, or just jumper it out. If the bearings are shot or the windings burned you're out of luck. Trust me, a new motor will cost more than a whole new fan.

Does anyone have any info on whether the PUH682 was actually recalled?
