Type Multimeter
Is there a usual cause for the failure of Oscillating fans to move side to side as they should?
I found a fan on a Stand, 16" blade, Oscillating type. The button on the back of unit, pull up or if it is down it will not oscillate. As I said, I found it and the fan was very hard to turn. It never did turn under its own power. I gave it a few tests with my multimeter, nothing showed to be out of ordinary, I took it apart cleaned and lubed it up and now it works great, quiet, low current draw, but I never had luck with the oscillation part of these kinds of fans. There is no out of the ordinary noise in any way, coming from the gear box, engaged or not.
Is there a timing position it must have? or just broke. After all it is already a good find of a large fan, It can sure move the Air in the one direction it is aimed in. I thought I would ask and maybe get luckier by finding someone who knows the proper operation of these types of Fans.
You solved the obvious problem - dried-up lube. good find.
