I Got a Brand New Uchida ‘Econ’! But…

- Let's clear the air first on this one, as this fan had just smoked my fan room real good. This fan is a secondhand Facebook Marketplace find. The previous owner said they hardly used it as a family member of theirs catch a cold everytime the fan is switched on. Their listing said the fan doesn't work, and that they wanted Rp. 400.000 / 28 USD for it. Long story short, I negotiated the price down & got a bargain.
At first glance, everything looks fine. This fan is basically still in perfect cosmetical condition, plus all of the installation hardware is intact. But once you get it powered on, things start to go south. I suspect there’s a short inside the motor, because when you turn it on downdraft, it draws 3,5 Watts without moving nor humming. But when you switch it up to updraft, something inside the motor fries up & lets out an ozone-y smell. I still understand nothing about the motors on these fans, as the wiring diagram on this brushed brass Kiev is a complete 180 than the diagram on my white Kiev. On this fan the motor seems to be a 3 speed as evident by a single value capacitor and 3 wires going directly from the switch to the motor, while on the white fan the speeds are controlled by a 3 value capacitor. What I’ll most likely end up doing to fix this fan is to just drop this fan off at Maspion’s service center and have them fix it, as chances are this motor isn’t saveable unless I get a fancy ceiling fan motor winding machine.
I already have some ideas as to where I’m going to use this fan when it’s fully fixed, but time will tell whether that plan will pan out or not.

Oh man! Poor motor. I really forgot how good the kiev looked with all 4 blades and basically in perfect shape :D
Yeah, they are quite good looking fans
that popping sound would be a jumpscare for me haha. i hope it'll be back in commision as soon as possible!
Honestly I was expecting the full explosion blowing the breakers + my room's UPS beeping like crazy, but I'm honestly glad that didn't happen haha. I hope so too, & without spending too much money to fix it
Tu y7y
I have a similar incident on my 2nd handed Alaska!
The first time, the fan was normally spin faster like a newer fan (although the fan was recondition). I test that fan with my National F-560A1 regulator and doesn't happened. Next day the fan won't spinning after i replaced with Aftermarket CMCE regulator, so when i pulled the fan, the fan is only humming noise and motor won't running at all.
Really interesting that the motor on this one has separate windings for each speed (multi-speed motor).
All the ceiling fans I've seen IRL use single speed motors, with external speed control (capacitors, transformers, etc)
And at 4:08 I wonder if the run cap spewed its guts
I found that weird too. I checked the capacitor before sending that fan off to be serviced, and the capacitor looks to be intact.
Wow! 😱😱
That's great fan! 🤩🤩
Yes it is!
ceiling fan/ luxury and sturdy fan 😎😎😎😍🤩🤩
Well, it’s apparently not as sturdy as I’d thought
It's such a pity, the fan not working? Can't be repaired? I always liked this design with 4 blades. Looks very nostalgic.
Yeah, I suspect the previous owner unknowingly turned the fan on while the motor is saturated with water. I'm still trying to fix it at the moment as I also find the design very calming
Hi,unfortunatly i couldnt make the video of the fan that ive put new bearings in due to the fact i took the fan to a friend of mine thats got a bearing puller and he messed up the coils of the fan so unfortunatly the fan is trashed now,i dont know anything about rewinding coils and in my small town there is no shop that does that kind of job,but i was lucky enough to find a 1999 ceiling fan that i bought brand new out of its original box with funny enough no bearing problems.
Man, that's unfortunate. Replacing bearings on ceiling fans does need a lot of care to prevent messing up the windings, and it took me about 4 failed tries to finally learn how to do it properly. You basically have to be patient & never play rough on it.
Any chance the screws got driven into the motor too far? That may have opened the windings and shorted the fan out
That’s a good theory, but the screws for mounting the blades are relatively short. What actually killed this fan was a roof leak
the fake cane tho🤣
I know right 😂
put the motor from the other kiev into this one
None of this fan’s parts will go into the white Kiev & vice versa. I want both fans to be operable
why's that
Well, I don't want any of these fans to turn into parts fans. I've worked hard for the white Kiev plus this brass one looks too nice to be parted out
Ooooo, I'm scared watching you pull the chain, cause I don't know if something was gonna happen to spook me 😅
It’s just some popping & frying noises, nothing that jumpscare-y really haha
@@TheFanUniverse Heh, I just watched it again, this time with headphones, but then I had my volume up a bit high, that shook me good XD
Hahahahaha
it looks amazing! is it fixable or is another restoration progress awating?
Thanks! It really is a good looking fan. Actually I won’t be the person to fix the motor. As I’m typing this, the motor on this fan is in Uchida’s repair center being diagnosed
@@TheFanUniverse oh wow! That was quick 😂
P. S: I love your videos, please don't stop anytime soon!
Thanks, I definitely won't!
I wonder why it wasn't spinning
Will the fan fall down? This might relate to Electro Demolish.
Destroying a perfectly good fan isn’t something that can be found in my dictionary, so no
can the fan be flush-mounted?
It’s not designed to be flush mounted
i got the same model has your fan but the motor burnt out
mount the new light kit to the recently restored uchida kiev!
The white Kiev will get a completely new & custom light kit. I want to use that fan as well as this brass one with the lights intact
@@TheFanUniverse okay
Kok rusak kipasnya?
Saya tidak tahu
That is uchida econ not kiev
Ok.
@@TheFanUniverse If you look closely at 1:25 that shows a "Econ" series which came in rgb colour the white version of this fan called "Kiev" They indetical but different this fan modelled CF-125AB AB means Antique Brass
1:47 舊風扇拆下來

Perpaduan warnanya bagus banget!
Memang mantap poll yang model ini
0:58 你的吊扇扇葉好像裝反了
The blades can be installed both ways
Wow its so cool.
But it's broken:(
It is cool
Baling²nya kebalik
Memang bisa dibolak balik. Satu sisi ada rotannya, sisi lainnya coklat polos
Lol is new but ..... " oh no ur fan is broken"
Yep
😅
Waaah
Zzzzz
