  • In this video I will be disassembling and repairing an old, noisy radiator cooling fan to inspect and/or replace the bearings. The radiator cooling fan shown in this video is 26 years old. I hate throwing things away that can be repaired. :-) Enjoy the video!

    Amazing !!
    I really like how:
    1) You try to find solutions when you face problems. you don't give up easily. and you have good imagination.
    2) Get use of old stuff, its like recycling good for environment, respecting people who created this, saving money. and satisfying to fix things.
    3) Saving old car from overheating and being wasted.

    I've tried similar repairs and had difficulty w/ holding the brushes in retracted position to install the armature, and then release brushes. How did you manage this problem?

  • @tectalabyss

    Very well Explained and done. That bearing was way cheaper that a new motor would have been and you kept it out of the landfill. Bravo !

    As much delicate as well as very easy to completely mess up motor assembly; I think one might consider checking for replacement new or used would of been more time & work worth;?? But cuddos to this job. Hope all that watch and try, would be so skilled, if not luck. Good job, for those of you D.Y.Iers NOT EASY JOB!!

  • @hulladek3

    26 years with brushes?? Either you almost don`t use this or you changed armature like 10 times. Ye but sleeve bearing worn of so its the second.

    • @electronicsNmore
      @electronicsNmore  9 лет назад

      Hulla Dek This is the original fan motor. All I did was use a paint brush to clear away all the dirt. The condition of the armature is quite amazing. The engine only has 145,000 miles on it after all these years, and the fan does not run constantly.

    My fan has been running incredible loud and fast lately (it almost sounds like an airplane when I turn my car on) and there is a high pitched tea kettle sort of noise when the car is on... could this be my fan or the bearing?

    Great video! I'm sitting with a problem where my auxiliary fan blows fuses after running for a few minutes (one fuse even melted). Connecting the fan directly to the battery via jumper leads produced strong sparks, almost like a short, yet the fan still runs (the motor gets extremely hot after a few minutes). I was thinking of replacing, but why replace when one can repair, as you have shown.

    brush DC motors have good torque, did the brush last for 26 yrs, sparks r always present, I have a 12 v DC fan its motor consumes 11w, driven by a 12 v 1.5a DC smps adapter, the problem is all the carbon dust gets lodged in the comuter, and the amps detects as a shorts so goes into 3w fold back current limit, I have to physically remove the carbon, this happens randomly, what do I do!

    • @Drew_Hurst
      @Drew_Hurst 9 лет назад

      +bazrazin1 Depending on the application of the motor (if you don't need to keep the dirt and water out), you could make air holes in the casing (especially at the bottom) to let the brush dust out so it doesn't clog up. Other wise try looking for some harder compound brushes, I'm not sure whats out there along those lines these days, but I hope these ideas help in some way.

    Is there any way to post the noise that the fan bearing made (makes), when it is going bad? I believe that I have a similar problem on my 2004 Volvo xc90. Intermittent clicking type noise. Seems to lesson while applying the gas. The engine is losing a little (~ one liter) engine coolant every ~1,000 miles. (Winter conditions averaging 0c to -15c daily). I haven’t seen a leak. And never heard the noise while idling. Switching to neutral, while driving has no impact on the noise. It just comes and goes.

  • @jcims

    Nice work! I wonder if cost is the only factor when selecting a bushing over a bearing in this application.

    • @electronicsNmore
      @electronicsNmore  9 лет назад

      jcims The bronze bushings are pretty good, but sealed ball bearings are the best.
      Thank you!

    this fan unit is from a 1984-1990 dodge caravan, grand caravan, plymouth voyager, grand voyager. 2.2l 2.6l 2.5l 2.5l turbo, and 3.0L mitsubishi V6 engine. i delt with them getting the blade off is hard as its rusted on the shaft of the motor. as this motor uses sleeve bearings on some later fan units they use a Bosch motor it has a sealed ball bearing on the shaft end and a sleeve bearing at the brush end. i replaced the motor on these as they are rivited to the shroud in which you have to drill or grind off and mount the motor with nuts and bolts on the 3 mounts. as it tkes alot of penetrating oil to get the blade off hammering and prying. if you put in a sealed ball bearing on the communtator you have to grind off the rivits that hold the brush holder in place and remove the brush holder so you can braize the bearing holder in.

    These permanent magnet motors can fail due to the magnet becoming unglued. I have seen this failure many times. This happened to a furnace inducer motor but in that case the magnets were glued to the armature and were dragging on the stator
