Topspin 1 Report post Posted May 16, 2009 If it swings slower than normal, it means that the fan spinning speed is also reduced. Half the time it can be restored by oiling the bearing inside the casing. Of course you need to know how to open the fan to get to the motor inside. The other half the time, the motor is going to fail. No point repairing in such case and oiling it won't help. This normally happens to those cheap fans which is so abundant recently. I bought one two years back for $19. It lasted about 2 years only but since it is not expensive, it is ok to just get a replacement when oiling it could not restore its speed.
