Lasko Wind Machine Complete disassemble, cleaning, inspection AND troubleshooting

Hi everybody, and welcome to my "stevenofpa" YouTube Channel!

This video shows you what it's like to see this old fan that was thrown out, and see it SO COMPLETELY CHOCK FULL OF NASTY DUST AND DIRT AND DEBRIS, and then you can see it be blown out with an air chuck, and dust put in the garbage can, and then vacuumed, and cleaned with 409 spray cleaner, and wiped down with paper towels. Also there is diagnosis of as to why the fan motor will only operate in on low speed, and not work on medium or high speed? It may be a fan speed control module or a fan motor starter module that is not allowing it to come up to speed, perhaps due to overheating due to the massive dust problem?

So that's what we think anyway.

We think that since no one took care of this fan, and neglected to perform maintenance (basically, to clean it out periodically), that the fan got so clogged up with dust, that the fan motor started to overheat, and internal components failed, which would not allow the motor to go any faster than about low speed. This stinks! A simple cleaning, which only takes a few minutes each YEAR, would have saved this fan and all of its materials from being thrown into a landfill. Wow! Some people are so wasteful, and they should learn how to not be.
