Broken Fan.

One of electric fan accidentally fell down when my son pull the extension cord where the fan is also plug in. He did not know that it was plug there too. When he pulled it, the fan fell down the floor and the blade broke. The blade was made of plastic material. I checked it and it is still working except that there is no blade. Uncalled for accident when it is actually very hot and the fan is a necessity. It is a good thing that there is a nearby repair shop here that also sells the blade. So hopefully I can buy a new one for this. How do manage the heat/cold when you fan/ac/heater breaks down?

No problem. We use a homemade fan made of cardboard or carton. Or we go to the nearby river to take a bath, or spend time window shopping to a mall whete it is fully air conditioned.

Oh! I have no recommendations, just try to grab natural air... If AC fails, fan works...

That's what happened on my fan too! The blades are too small so I tried to search around and finally I was able to change it into the bigger one

i'm glad he wasn't hurt and nothing else was broken. in our case, the motor of one of our fans had to be changed.

@rakski yeah, when we had it fixed, he said it was starting to smell when he would turn it on to check the motor so it was really time to replace it.

@rakski in my case in times of no one to fix it yet I might buy a new one, then have it fix the next day. in some cases if blades are available why not.

My goodness, it is a problem for sure in hot season. We encountered several problems like that in summer season, the air cooler stopped working in the midnight etc.

I'm sorry the fan broke and hope you can get it fixed soon. I lived in an upper apartment where it was stifling in summer and didn't have an A/C. A friend bought me one for my birthday that year. It was wonderful.

@rakski That is good and only the blade was the one affected by the fall. I guess our dependence with electric fans are really that bad.

Just one but it was last year. I can't afford to have a new or old fans repaired. I wanted to have a cooling fan in the future.

It's hard to deal very hot temperature in the absence of fans and air conditioning.
