Your fan speed control module is probably shorted and is damaged. Have it repaired by an electrician.

Is this the speed switch itself? These multi-speed fans have 4 or 5 wires which come from the motor which go into the speed select switch. The wiring may have the ends stripped, and this stripped end just pushes into the hole on the switch, and a little metal piece grips that stripped end.

Anyway, one possibility is to contact the manufacturer- look on their website or give them a call, see if a tech can give that info. Another poss. is to locate an identical fan and note the wiring locations on it. You can also experiment trial and error, though caution needs to be exercised here.

Behind the blades, on the post, should be a hole on the post which is a hex key retainer, c. 1/8". Counter-clockwise turn to release and entire fan blade assembly lifts off the spindle.

This problem is caused by worn brushes, these are probably not replacable. You could replace the motor but you will have more money tied up in that then replacing the fan.

Get a replacement switch from the manufacture and wire it in properly. You have the windings mixed up from the motor.

go and take it apart and clean it afterwards. dont forget to put oil. you might want to check the carbon inside the motor, they may need replacement.

yes that is the oiling hole,use some wd40 or 3 and 1 oil but not too much.the noise you hear is the back bearing of the motor

Take the motor out and take to a local motors repair and rewinds shop. Drop it on the counter and say "can I have one of these please". It is just a motor, form size, voltage and speed. https://www.google.com/search?q=Lakewood+model+HV-18+parts ..

You could repair it yourself or take it to a local electrical store or a vacuum repair shop. They are just a box, a motor and a switch. https://www.google.com/search?q=lakewood+fan+repairs ..

you would have to go to a place that sells motors and get one by motor type, that than the appliance make and model. All electric motors are standard by size, voltage, speed and fixings. https://www.google.com/search?q=lakewood+hv+18+replacement+parts ...

Unlikely I would think, a new motor will be available considering how the motor is a major part of the construction and how quickly new models replace previous models in the typical fan line up, even in the heavy duty and industrial types. Many fans use a brush type motor and after extended use the brushes will need replacing - have you had the motor checked? It might just need new brushes. If all else fails, there are small companies all over the world offering to rewind burned out motors, some specialise in the repair and rewinding of small motors, mostly to keep cherished or special power tools alive.

Whether the fan has a dedicated oscillation motor or is driven by an extended shaft from the main motor, there is usually a button or switch to disengage the oscillating function. If this no longer has any effect the only cure is to dismantle the machine until the fault is discovered and then if a repair is possible - repair it... Most domestic fans have no spare part support, mechanisms have a limited life and if "handyman" repairs aren't possible it is considered a throw-away item.

hello martin you can buy a dimmer to slow down your fan 800 watt at least
