How to Clean and Disassemble an Electric Fan

First Step

  1. Disconnect the power source, loosen the screws fixing the grille, then gently disassemble the front and rear grilles, and remove the front cover. Some floor fans (table fans) use buckles for the mesh cover, and you only need to open the buckle when disassembling. At the same time, the nut used to fix the grille in the middle part can also be loosened and removed, allowing the rear grille and fan blades to be removed for easy cleaning. However, it should be noted at this time that not all floor fans (table fans) have removable rear grilles and blades, so be sure to observe the structure of the floor fans (table fans) at home before dismantling.

Step 2

  1. Clean the removed front cover. If there are any hard-to-clean attachments, add a little white vinegar or lemon to the water; this solution will thoroughly clean the grille. The disassembled fan blades and the rear grille can be cleaned in the same way. Alternatively, use detergent, washing powder, dishwashing detergent, or other cleaning agents mixed with water. Soak the protective net in this washing liquid for 10 minutes, then brush it clean, dry it with a dry cloth, and let it dry.

For floor fans (table fans) whose fan blades and rear grilles cannot be removed, put a small amount of white vinegar or lemon juice in a spray bottle, and then wipe with a damp cloth. For the details that are difficult to clean, you can use a cotton swab to gently scrub.

The fan blades are generally made of plastic, so do not use oily products. Use a sponge dipped in lotion to carefully wipe off the dust and dirt, and then wipe it with a wrung cloth to dry it in the shade.

Step 3

  1. After cleaning, be sure to use a dry cloth to wipe off the moisture from the fan blades and grille, and place them in the sun. If the light is strong, generally drying for about 10 minutes can evaporate the residual water on the surface.

Step 4

  1. Reassemble the cleaned fan blades and grille, then plug in the power and turn on the fan to test it, to ensure it has been assembled correctly and is usable.

Maintenance of Floor Fan

  1. In high-temperature weather, use the floor fan for 2-3 hours and then allow it to rest for a while before continuing to operate to prevent motor overheating and damage.

  2. During use, do not place your hands or any objects in the fan blade area to avoid personal injury and damage to the floor fan.

  3. The floor fan should be placed stably during use, and there should be no obstacles within the range of the electric fan.

  4. When the floor fan has been in use for a long time, if you smell an odor or notice an abnormal noise coming from the electric fan, immediately turn off the power and check.

  5. The floor fan should have a little lubricating oil added every 3-5 months, and the moving parts should be cleaned every 3 years.

  6. Place the fan in a moisture-proof and sun-proof area. If it is not used for a long time, it can be packed in a carton and stored in a dry area.
