[QUOTE="archive10, post: 1019640"] I have one which after storage needs a gentle nudge (sometime a bit robust) to get going after not having been used for a while. My guess is on bearings (nylon) for the main propeller shaft, and the associated silicone lubrication drying up. NOTE: This may not be the solution for you; I have no idea what your fan bearings are made of :) I have bought some silicone lubrication, so when it does it again, I shall try and dismantle it enough to be able to apply the lubricant. Unfortunately, and in contrast with the rest of Europe, we have had cold, damp, windy weather for the past month, so no need to turn the damn thing on yet... [/QUOTE]
