![]() ![]() ![]() Squeeze the insulated sleeves and slide them off, unsolder the two leads from their connection. Look for a visible small rectangular solid white plastic fuse body on a pair of 2' long leads that are buried under the power wires attached to the windings by a huge amount of varnish or whatever, and, using appropriate stress relief, carefully carefully cut the threads and carefully surgically, excavate one wire at a time thru to the two fuse leads. There is a 130 degree celsius thermal fuse tucked away in the rear windings. Hopefully posting my trouble shooting Results will salvage something from a other wise wasted evening. There was no continuity betweenThe return wire to any other wire coming out of the motor. There was continuity between the low, medium and high speed wires coming from the motor. I am setting it out with the trash, It is not repairable unless you want to re wind the field coil. I also found that the field coil was open (infinite resistance) there was no fuse. Retired 69 in TN I had the same problem I was able to pull the oscillator button off, took the motor apart and re grease the Back bearing. I had the same problem I was able to pull the oscillator button off, took the motor apart and re grease the Back bearing. The second fan was quiet but has NO starting torque.no unusual for fans generally, but I'll NEVER BUY another ALOHA BREEZE product again. Eventually, the fan would not start because the motor didn't have enough torque to overcome the friction in the bad bearing. ![]() First failure was a bearing and when it started failing, it was noisy. I am on my second one which didn't last any longer than the first which was about 3-4 months. ![]()
