Patton Answered Questions & Fixed Issues

I'm not all up on Patton Model#s, but this is an older unit, correct? You may try contacting Patton (Owned by Holmes now so you may have to go through them)

If they cannot help you, try www.dtvintagefans.org There's collectors there that may have parts fans that they may be willing to sell a blade.

Alternatively, you may try Grainger, as they sell an assortment of blades. You will need to match a blade to your motor though, which should be fairly easy as the Patton fans use a common McMillan motor which most attic fans also use.

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.

Hi,
The 1 setting is a 750watt setting and the 2 is a 1500watt or twice the heat...the light will always be on when you have power...the fan will go on if there is a call for heat and if the room if fairly warm it will be all the way to the top..does the company charge for assistance??? never heard of such a thing...

sounds like u have a safety switch going out try to fin the one thats cutting the unit off try bypassing hem one at a time until it stops and replace it do not leave it bypassed!!!

Junk it. They are cheap enough and can be purchased at Graingers!

if you blow a limit switch the fan continues to run in an attempt to cool it down,try unpluging it and letting it sit for about 30min to reset the limit switch,plug it back in if the fan continues to run with no heat replace the limit switch.

I use a stiff paint brush.

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

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!

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.

It' probably just the switch or thermostat

Return heater to Home Depot.

Knobs for almost anything electric or electronic are available at Allied Electronics. Here's the link.

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

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.

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).

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

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

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
