HolidayHouse5777 Inflatable display tips.
Welcome to HolidayHouse tips. We have been using inflatables in our displays for about 13 years now and we have been doing massive inflatable displays for over 6 years. Over the years we have gained a lot of experience that makes it easier for us to put the displays up as well as ways to make the displays look nicer. We are sharing these tips in this video series.
We do massive inflatable displays for both Halloween and Christmas. Our Halloween display has grown to 125 inflatables and our Christmas display has grown to over 185 inflatables.

Hi we were ready to throw away our Christmas inflatable and we took your advice and shhok the motor and now it works!!! Good old RUclips! Thank you! Merry Christmas!
That's great, glad to hear it worked out for you. Merry Christmas to you as well!
This is very cool two thumbs up from this guy 👍🏻
Thank you so much!!
Very useful for me . One of my Halloween inflatables was down and i shook the motor and it worksa now . Im very happy :)
Awesome. Glad to hear it’s working.
Thanks so much u saved my jack infallible 😢❤ it's not working on my ogy but I hope it will I waiting for it to dry out more 🎉😊❤
Glad to hear you got at least one inflatable working.
my fan is making an odd buzzing noise when it is on. can you help?
Most likely there is something stuck in the motor, like a piece of grass or something.
One other time we had a motor where the blades of the motor were too long and were scrapping the sides of the motor case which caused an irritating noise, but eventually the blades shortened due to scrapping against the sides.
Other than that we only have a couple of inflatables that make a buzzing noise when there is nothing stuck in the motor and we can usually get the noise to go away by shaking the motor a bit. Not really sure what causes this noise, could be something loose inside of the motor.
Same with my panda
Just spray with electronical spraying liquid. Try to clean any components inside fan.
Mine got water in it, think if I let it air out it’ll work?, water only got in the motor not on plug
It might. Sometimes our motors will stop working so we bring it inside and let it dry out for a couple of days and it works again. Couldn't hurt to try.
1 question I don’t know if I have to live the air on or is something the I have to do for the air to stay inside I appreciated the help thanks
I have a 12 foot nutcracker and I have to some times shake The fan
The motor runs but seems it is not provinding enough air to blow up the decoration... Even though it seems like the fan is running fine...
Unfortunately you probably need a new motor.
@@HolidayHouse5777 Thanks so much...
It sounds like you have a tear or hole in the lining that needs to be patched up.
Can you show how to replace the power adapter?
I hear a small ticking when the inflatable is plugged in. Can that be an issue of a shortage?
Thank you for this video! Based on your experience do you know what needs to be replaced if the lights blink and fan pulses but it won’t actually stay on? Tried a different adapter and that didn’t work. Sadly only had this two days, one of the days was rainy so moved it onto the porch from the yard. Worked on the porch one day but now won’t blow up again and has the flashing/pulsing symptom.
Usually that means it needs a new adapter, sometimes letting it dry out works, but you've already tried those.
How many things do you have plugged into the extension cord this one is on? Does it work if you plug it directly into the outlet inside your home?
Sometimes when this happens to us the inflatables just start working again one day.
If you're still having the issue even when it's plugged directly into an outlet then unfortunately you might need to replace the motor.
I haven't ran mine for days and now one won't inflate. It ain't the power adapter or the outlet it's the fan motor but it does light up
Yeah if the lights turn on but the motor doesn't turn on then the problem is most likely with the motor. I haven't tried fixing the motor itself and probably in most cases it can't be fixed.
You can find motors on Amazon for 20-40 dollars, in most cases it's cheaper to just buy a new inflatable.
If this is an inflatable you really like and want to use it again someday you should check out the stores after the holidays, you might be able to find one of similar size to yours that is 50% to 75% off and just use the motor from that one to put into your current broken one. Would probably be a lot cheaper than buying a motor.
Please help me I lost the plug for my 2009 Mickey mouse inflatable I do not have an fan and plug for it I'm going to have to take one of the fan out of my snowman inflatable and then put it in there I will I will also put lights in it
Mine has no light, it’s brand new just got it a month ago it was working a few nights ago
Me too!!!! Mine is not running either…. These things aren’t cheap! Literally a month old 😢
No light and the motor isn't working? It is probably the power adapter. The good news is that is the easiest problem to fix, the bad news is the power adapter alone could cost you around 15 dollars, which could cost almost as much as the inflatable depending on the inflatable. You could try calling the 800 number and they might send you a replacement part since it is so new.
These motors don't typically stop working after just a month, but we have had that happen several times over the years so it does happen. Sometimes the problem is the fan has ice on it or is just really wet and after letting it dry out for a couple of days it will start working again.
I shaked it and it turned on but then it stopped and made smoke like from burning.
Yeah it's not a good sign when that happens. We have had several motors over the years smell like they are burning but there was no actual smoke, and a few of those ended up being just fine the next day or two, the others the motors burnt out and we had to replace them. We have only had one that was actually smoking and the motor was fried and had to be replaced.
It sounds like your fan was jammed. The debris was dislodged when you shook it, allowing the fan blades to move. But it lodged into a fan blade again & started to burn up the motor. You always want to check the openings of the fan for any debris & take a screwdriver to move the fan blades until you feel no resistance & they move with ease.
Mine just won’t inflate completely
Unfortunately the motor most likely needs to be replaced.
mine still working but is not that much power in it so i think i should have soon replaced but dont know how to do this :-( dont wanna broken the material ,if you can see how to do this it could be awesome 😊
if you can show how to do is ,not see .Sorry my mistake x
Your inflatable has a tear or hole in the lining that needs to be patched.
@@monika1987rokrokYou should see a zip tie holding the fan in place. Just cut & install new fan with a new zip tie. There’s not much to these things.
