Exhaust fan finally gave in

Philippines
July 29, 2019 7:14pm CST
It was just one mistake that I forgot to turn it off and later that afternoon it stopped working. I guess now it's understandable since it's a very old fan. Good thing that it's rainy season it won't be that hot this month. I planned to replace this before but electrician simply just cleaned up and said this is one of the good brand. But still chose to sleep in the living room though.

Yeah most electric fans when they get stucked usually needs some cleaning only since it may just be stacked with dust and dirt thus making it hard for them to run normally.

Hello @rsa101 Yeah, this is the exhaust fan and it was operational for more than two decades, no wonder it gave in.

Hello @Sreekala We rarely used the one that was in the kitchen because the blades kept randomly moving for some reason.

Same as my AC at the moment, it needs cleaning but I need to save first before we can do that. At the moment, I’m using my old loyal fan.

Hello @JustBhem at least I still have my fan, but it doesn't solve the heat problem.

Exhaust fans can be exhausted too. In fact, with the work they do, they are quite in strain.

Sometimes things just need a rest or a good cleaning to get them going again.
