[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 1019828, member: 199791"] When I got my current fan (a cheap chinese thing bought in a sale), it barely worked when I first tested it, lowest speed, the fan barely even turned, highest speed, I could fart a more ferocious breeze, so took it to bits, found the motor amazingly had bronze sleeve bearings, but the twits in the chinese factory [I]greased[/I] them (bronze bearings need [I]oiling[/I]!! Sealed ball and roller bearings are the greased ones!) with some thick an unpleasant grease, so I wiped off all the grease I could, soaked & cleaned the bearings in a solvent with cotton buds, dried, soaked them in 3-in-1 oil, and it's never failed me once in the 4 years I've had it... :) I swear they intentionally do things wrong with appliances and electricals to make us buy new replacements every year or two...
