Darn it. Wished I watched this video before unsuccessfully taking my fan apart and in frustration putting it all back together. This will be my issue too. Thanks for a great video

Man you saved me a ton of frustration. 🤘 Ty

This is the exact problem we had, you video was perfect. Problem solved! Thank you

Going to try...thanks for sharing ❤

Thank you for this. I ordered the whole new part, then found this video. I fixed it with your help / video too! Much appreciated!!!! Right around 1:27 you can see once you screw in that piece where maybe the factory hammered in the outside so it won’t back out. Forget the word “wedged” it? Anyways I used blue gel loctite and wedged it with a punch to inhibit it from backing out anymore when you rotate the handle counter clockwise. It’s working now and if it happens again I’ll use red loctite! Haha. Thanks for your time and video!

Nicely done!!! Thank you!!!!!!

Thanks Joshua for this post. I followed what you did and was able to fix mine the same way too!

Accidentally bent the lift arm on mine and now it won’t close all the way. My problem was different, none the less, your walk through helped me see the guts and what to do to replace that lift arm mechanism. Cheers mate! Happy travels

Exactly my problem. Glad you posted this step-by-step fix!

Very good

My fan works my fan works fine but I fear that the plastic crank that I used to open and close it will go bad and I will be stuck with it open or stuck with the clothes. I'm looking to replace all plastic parts with metal. The metal base Daisy clamp the metal base Daisy crank looks good. Thanks. Thanks.

Good repair ;)

I have the same problem. A thousand curses on fan-tastic fan for not using something like loctite on the outer threads to keep them from unscrewing. What I want to know is, what is the part number or description of that "wrench thing". Where did you get it?
