Three years ago a fan exactly like this one was put out for disposal in the back lane where I live. It was dirty and wouldn’t run. I cleaned it up, disassembled the electric motor and found the lubricant had dried out. I used high temperature grease on the bearings and it has hummed away through all the heat waves we have had. My 1928 home in Vancouver BC does not have AC but with double hung windows I keep the house comfortable.
