I'm looking for a motor (new or rebuilt) for a Vornado model 280 SS. Where can I look to find one? Is there a Vornado parts company that might have one?

Most fans like this use a fairly standard electric motor as it has to run from the mains supply. Take it to a good electric motor repairer/supplier and they should be able to find an after market motor to replace the one you have. Keep in mind how much the fan is worth to compare the cost of repair versus replacement.

Where can I get replacement bearings for a Vornado 293 room fan?

The company says it never needs oiling and is sealed for life. You could try them direct, or Amazon sells bearings if you can get the size.https://www.google.com/search?q=replacement+bearings+for+a+vornado+293..

Vornado AWRH fan does not rotate in all modes, including fan only. I suspect fan motor bearing. See details.

I need to replace the power switch on my Vornado VH200 Room Heater. I have tried to get to take it apart and can't get to the screws that hold it together. Any suggestions?

There are a couple of videos that might help, but usually, it is just a matter of undoing every screw that you can find. The videos show the switch just levers out. It is held by plastic clips. To split the case, you just need a long Philips screwdriver. 4 screws hold it. https://www.google.com/search?q=Vornado+VH200+replace+switch

My dog chewed thru cord on my vornado heater I need cord replaced. Who can fix? Any local appliance repair?

Yes Pat It is an easy job that can be done in 30 minutes or so. At Home Depot, you can buy wire with the plug attached or you can buy wire and a plug separately. I can tell you where places will fix it in Toronto, Canada, but do you live in Toronto? This link will take you to someone near you, or you can just drop into a local vacuum seller and repairer. That was where I went for something or other. I just said to the guy, "can you put a new lead on this"? He looked at it and said "sure it will be ready in 2 days". https://www.google.com/search?q=local+appliance+repair ..

Why I took the capacitor off of my Vornado 660 to clean it, however I can't remember how to get it back on. Is there any way someone could explain it to me in girl terms LOL

I am not familiar with the model you are struggling with and it would be difficult to help you without a few more and better quality pictures. The picture you supplied features the motor and I think what is the (black with white printing) capacitor can almost be seen to the left with a blue and a white wire that might or might not be connected to it. I suspect you used your phone to take the picture as there isn't enough pixels to expand it to a useful size without losing detail. The capacitor is probably a radio interference suppressor and in that case would be simply connected across the supply. It is possible the "capacitor" is an interference filter and in that case the connections would be marked on the unit.

Vornadofan electrical wiring. Old fan runs strong but replaced the wiring and now need to check which wires are what...can not find on vornado website, not in manuals either.

Good luck there. Vornado is very vague and does not disclose any information. If it is a vintage vornado, you can type the model number into the search box, hit images and they have a few showing the wiring.
