Thanks for the video! For the price of these suckers, it should totally be a brushless motor. American manufacturers.

Totally agree. Great brand and great customer service but those dang brushes in the motor...

Helpful to know what might help in future if/when needs cleaning. Yours is not the chirpy annoying squeak I’ve got, I couldn’t really tell if there was a squeak on video. Anyway, my fan is only 2 days old. I notice you didn’t use any lubricant. I’ll take your suggestion and run it on high for a while. If that doesn’t work, I’ll contact the company. Thanks for posting this. Edit: Contacted company, I explained that as I'm living in the trailer in the desert, their first suggestion that I run the fan on full for 24 hours was going to be super cold especially overnight, and not sure my batteries will hold out. At that point they decided to send out a replacement motor. Great service.

This is great. The squeak is gone. Thank you! FWIW I made 2-minor mistakes in the cleaning process. 1) I used a brush & soap on the fan blade. This scuffed it up a bit. I should have used a sponge & soap. 2) Drying the screen cover, I dragged the metal nozzle of the air compressor gun back & forth & took the finish off some of the screen. I should have held it away from the screen.

Thanks for this. Just did mine. How many hours do you find you get between cleanings?

Mine lasted three days of nearly constant running before the squeak returned. It had been squeaking for many months. This next cleaning, I will polish the copper of the commutator so the brushes ( which are the source of the dust that creates the squeal) may slide instead of so easily wear against the commutator.

The squeak!! 😵

@Sonya-hc1mx 2 жыл бұрын

so I managed to bend the c clip and I misplaced the set screw. Anyone know where I might get replacements?

@leem3299 Жыл бұрын

I don't think the c clip is necessary. Just prevents you from putting the fan on too far up I think

Thanks. Ours squeeked from factory. Also all the remotes for our TV and sound bar and other remotes set it off. I'd never recomend this product. Absolute trash from the price

I was also bummed ours started squeaking pretty quickly but I did find their customer service to be really great when I had to contact them.
