All you need to repair a seized fan is motor oil. Inject a lot of oil (but not too much!) into both oil wicks to rejuvenate them. We do not need to replace the bushings or rotor unless they are rooted. The shaft and bearing can be slightly damaged yet still work fine, the damage is an artifact of the bearings becoming dry. I have a few fans with that damage, yet they work flawlessly because I lubricated them. No need to replace the shaft or the rotor. Nonetheless, I appreciate your hard work in restoring this electric fan and saving it from going to a landfill. Don't use detergent oil, vegetable oil, or WD-40. Always use something like SAE-20 motor oil or sewing machine oil.
Wow I am definable going to buy a new fan
Nice, very thorough

What about Cook oil like soja oil? I'm poor😢
@@T3St3r-t7x Cooking oil will not last for a long time. However in an emergency you can use it for the summer.
