How to Repair an Electric Fan
Problem: Blades rotate slowly
Problem: Blades rotate slowly
If your fan suddenly runs slow even if it is switched on to its highest speed, the problem may be due some loose thread plastic parts such as that which locks the blades on to its place. So before sending your fan to a mechanic or fan expert, remove the front cover yourself and try to check that plastic knob which locks the blades and prevents them from moving forward and backward. If it is loose, then that is what causes the blades to rotate slowly as when it is loose, it will allow the blades to move forward and away from the shaft.
Remedy:
Replace that plastic knob if parts are available in your area. If not, you may insert anything, such as small paper, that may help tighten the knob to the shaft and prevent the blades from detaching or moving forward.
