RE: What I Made This Week, Also...A Mechanical Death
Have you routinely lubed the gears and mechanisms inside the engine/motor?
I would try some WD-40 before tossing it. The firction for the lack of grease causes the motor(s) to over heat.
I hope it is just that and an easy fix
When my fans seem to die on me they only make a humming sound too. I have now routinely sprayed and taken apart the motors on my fans.
I'll give that a try! I'm not going to toss it. My brothers are both amazing mechanics and I'm going to see if they can fix it or even make it better. If I do get a new one, then I'll have to going! I'd actually eventually like four...haha! Thanks for the advice!
