shaded pole maybe

Jun 09, 2018 1 Replies

rescued a fan and applied a small amount of tlc



but it has slowstartupitis



once it gets going it is fine and is quiet and moves air



it has little to no torque and is not designed to have much but at start it seems to not have enough



maybe something is misaligned or some other problem


make your guesses


this is a cheap three speed fan but it looked new when i got it and it had a loose wire so naturally it was discarded

Try adding a drop of glycerin to the armature bushings.
