[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1019789, member: 369937"] Don't use oil, use some WD-40, it will penetrate better then oil. But if the bearings are froze up it may be time to bin it. I have had some luck with an overnight soak in WD-40, but you need to completely immerse the motor in a bath of the stuff, then a short bake in an oven on the lowest setting to dry it out a bit before you try and use it.(check for shaft rotation first) Some times when a fan is used near or in a kitchen the vapors from the cooking oil can get into the motor, along with some dust and a bit of non-use and you have a good cement [/QUOTE]
