I'm one of Laskos' biggest fans. You have no idea how important your video is, to so many... I've been dealing with these fan issues for quite dome time.. I've gone through at least 5 fans in the last 1-2 years.. now I'm learning that I could've fixed them so easily.. Thank you sir

I remember when they were still sold under hdx and i was little at the time when they were selling these fans under the hdx

I picked up a 1994-96 Lasko box fan. It works, however on high it is quite noisy. It definitely needs a good cleaning. The inside of the motor is grimy. Any suggestions? Thanks!

How can most of you say that this video was helpful? Half of what he was doing wasn't even on the screen. Yeah you can take it apart and put it back together but main part of the video was a fail

I wonder if they were sold in the states too, i have only seen one with green blades but its slightly different.

thanks mate.

Thank you for saving my fan! Only cost me $7 for the 3 in 1 motor oil.

And I was wondering if you’d be able to do a video of the Bayfield I would love to see a demonstration of that because I used to have one of them in my old living room at my old house and also my grandpa’s dining room had one as well

You should make a video of the Bayfield

Well i now have 4 fans to fix🎉

I did everything watching your video carefully and my fan still doesn’t work. Could it be the switch? Although that turns properly

wait, can you varnish the winding yourself? my 70s box fan just became too unpredictable to run, the winding has arcing coming from where the varnish has cracked ( I guess). I am doing research to replace it with another 70s or 80s box fan, however if I can actually varnish the winding myself, well then that's some good news for the day. Is that what you meant by your comment? or do you get them professionally dipped and varnished when you refurbish them? I don't have a lot of money so if I can fix that old RMR motor's windings with some paint on varnish, that would be great! -Edit- This day is the day I learned that you can buy your own electrally insulating varnish. I went to the city to pick some up and I am on coat number 4 of the spray varnish, I didn't want to wait for an order of liquid varnish where you use an eye dropper to apply it. My fan is going to be spark free once all the coats dry.

I bought one d20 Mastercraft put in my kid's room in the winter time I find the older ones works the best

I see another Canadian

That little match box size thing attached to the motor is a capacitor. It can light you up if you don’t discharge it, like an HVAC capacitor. I found out the hard way.

That thing looks trash. My trusty Chinese fan named Pelonis blows more air than that fan. Ii is from 2006. It is 18 years old. I still love it like Steve Perry's Sherrie!

I've bought 3 LASKO fans over time and ALL-3 have started "smoldering" on the selection speed and almost caught fire :(

My fan is still squeaking cause i assumed the blades couldn't come off! 😂

Worked like a charm! Thank you for making this video

I am soo happy that I found this video! Our Lasko Weathershield box fan just developed the bearing issues. Now I know how to fix it!

Will you convince Sanyo to make these again?

Nailed it. I came to see fuse, and if it is replaceable! Nice❤

I had a lasko box fan that ran for a solid 10 years, almost 24/7. It started shaking pretty bad, was dirty, and I just decided to retire it and buy a new one. Just got my new one( same lasko box fan, but black) plugged in, and it shakes WORSE! 😂😂

Thanks to you, I could fix my Lasko fan running again like new.

I bought my fan 6 months ago and it suddenly just stopped working

Or does it matter what year is it

How do you figure out the year of a lasko fan

I found these at tjmax and they lowball the price. They make you pay 20$ instead of 30$

That did not take of the fan nope 😔

Worse than a comfort zone pedestal fan for sure. Def don’t got the quality of the Super fans

Yet I thought my comfort zone pedestal fan had terrible balance

I still have my brown D28, but the coils keep on freezing. I don't know how to fix it. In the last 7 years I bought 1 Danby and 1 Noma they last less than 3 years. Waist of money.

I'm curious why there isn't an inexpensive replacement for the Glory 3 speed motor on Ali Express or eBay. I guess it would cost as much as the new fan?

What if you don’t have that oil

The white one is really nice. ❤ I'm trying to fix my brown one right now. The fan will come on and slowly die out within a minute or so. I oiled it. Not much output. Low rpm. I don't really want to chuck it. Do you think a new fan motor would help?

My story with a lasko box fan was in 2015 me & my neighbors went fishing in the Caney River in Oklahoma. Water was running hard we cast our lines for flathead catfish we put our rods down and let them set. After like 30 minutes my pole just went sideways and I set the hook. I'm like Chris I got a nice one if he doesn't break me off or spool me. I fought this thing in all that current thinking I had a 50+ flathead. Finally we started pulling it in and I saw a white square blurry I'm like Chris That ain't no fish we pulled it in and it was a lasko box fan crossed my line. We threw it up on the bank and still to this day Chris is still laughing about me catching that Fan. It had a 14ft catfish pole bent double fighting it in all that current. I still can't believe I caught a box fan in the River.

Knocked my 12+year old one over and it fell over on its face Wednesday while on high and broke one blade and it didn't seem like they could be replaced, so I bought a new one and had thrown the old one away, then found this video. So fished the old one back out of the can and put it in the basement in case the new one goes out for any reason that isn't blade related, if the blades are fine, I could just put them on the old one and use IT again. Also just noticed that Lasko website sells replacement blades, but they don't list $$prices on their products, just on the protection plans. Probably cost as much as the replacement fan lol.

Hey, at least yours works, i had a mainstays 12 inch for at most a year, it helped me sleep at night. But recently it just stopped working. But in it's defence it did fall an uncountable amount of times so i just assumed it succcumbed to it's 'injuries' I'd rather still have a working fan that rattles than one that doesn't work at all.

I have a 12” Galaxy table fan that is also made by Sanyo. It has the same chassis, but the controls look different and the center of the front guard is plastic instead of metal. These are such great fans, very powerful!

2:50 regarding the thrust washers, I know where to get some that fit well. Do you have any socials where we can talk?

Just came across one and heard the motor inside when turned on but wouldn’t spin. Saved me buying a new fan cheers 👍

thanks 👍🏻 my fan seemed slow, after following video made a huge difference

thank you successfully fixed my basement fan after watching this.

Thank you sir! Great video. My fan has been getting gradually slower as of recent. The high setting barely blows any air! Going to apply this process now.

Well dang the zip ties broke off and now all the wires are crossing and I’m not sure how it wasn’t shorting to begin with. Lol. Why didn’t I get the warranty. These fans are ass.

pulling off the old blade is the most difficult part. Your placement of feet on the corners seems to be the clue to success. Thanks for posting.

I did it! Your video was totally right on! My fan is so fast now, but it has to much vibration going on. I must have maybe but the blades on wrong? Vibrating on two higher speeds.

Maybe not cost effective, but if somebody sold replacement new or rebuilt box fan motors, like for half the cost of new, it would keep a lot of garbage out of our landfills!

This shows nothing of how to fix a bad control switch, which is a common part to go bad on these fans.

Im looking to modify one of the fans and remove the switch from the housing so I can mount the fan and control it from a few feet away. Does anyone know what type of wire I should use to extend the switch?
