What an amazing demonstration! I just purchased a 1950 vintage Dominion table fan model #2004 - pristine condition, came with the original box, most probably never used. I ordered your SqueakSgone in case after all those years the thing needs to be lubed. Thanks so much!
Just ordered it, please ship it soon. I can't live without my fan!
Christy In The Carolina's did it work
Me too
Next time I would definitely recommend taking the motor apart, as there is a back bearing as well, and there is a felt pad that absorbs the oil, so you want to make sure to saturate the felt pad for the front and back bearing for maximum effectiveness.
Oiling the felt pad with Squeaks Gone is a great idea.
I read that on every video but nobody seems to show it. I’ll try to do it regardless.
I thought im going to buy a new one...ty so much for this simple and very clear tutorial. Now our electric fan is fixed. Ty again.
This is one of the most common reasons why fans get trashed bc ppl either don't want or don't know how to maintain them. They simply think it stopped working. Well cars would too if no one takes care of them!!
Thank so much this trick actually works thanks I started to panic thinking I have to go out and get a new one 🤣😁
Thanks to everyone in the comments who mentioned taking the fan apart. It was a very useful tip that should be outlined in this video. I used BRAMEC extended oil that I picked up at my local electrical supply house. Working great now.
Thanks dude I had the EXACT same problem and now it’s gone thanks to the video. ❤❤❤
Glad this helped!
My air conditioner used a sealed motor with brass bushings at both ends. The felt that absorbs oil and keeps the brass bushings lubricated had dried up after 18 years. So the motor was now screaming and screeching. But this was a sealed motor and thus there was no cap to open to add oil and no way to disassemble the motor. However, by tilting the motor and spinning it manually, I was able to just keep dripping oil on the shaft near the bushing, and the oil just kept on slowly disappearing as it was being absorbed by the felt material. Once having done this at both ends of the motor for a while ( motor has exposed shafts at both ends) , the felt material at both bushings were now freshly packed with oil again.
So my back to quiet air conditioner is now starting its second summer with the new oil. I used the same oil on my big indoor fan and it still spins at top speed even several years after adding the oil. In all cases, I used shaving oil that is for electric shavers.
Non-toxic oil is definitely important. If the motor at top speed gets somewhat hot, you certainty do not want to end up with toxic oil fumes being blown around and around in your home.
I appreciate it. I did go a step further and separated the motor to clean it out really well. My fan finally works after doing the oil as you did in this video!
We love it when fans actually work.
That's all u need to do. Don't need any special oil bc ur gonna have to relube ur fan in a few years anyways. Ppl say use 3 in 1 oil, it doesn't go gummy, but sad to say they don't have a clue what they're talking about. Any oil will gum up in the presence of dust. Even what he has in this vid!! It's not that it's the wrong product, it's the nature of this stuff!!
There should be felt or similar material surrounding the bushings that needs to be saturated with light oil (3 in 1 will work). The bushings are made of sintered metal that allow oil to slowly seep through. Doing this every 2 years or so will keep the fan running for a very long time or until the switch breaks. The fan should be disassembled to do this. Grease will NOT work long term and will eventually gum up the bushings You may need to lightly tap the shaft in several radial directions after reassembly to realign the bushings to the shaft if it doesn't spin freely, especially the front bushing which usually gets out of alignment during disassembly and reassembly. The bushings are convex on their outside diameter to allow for this.
There are two bearings in a fan motor. You neglected to oil the bottom one. You should always oil both bearings.
You have a real point there. The most guilty bearing provided a lasting benefit. Would have been better to treat both. Agreed.
again not bearings they are bushings no bearings in these motors only computer fans have bearings.
A bushing is a type of bearing
@@chriss4365 there is a ball bearing in my electric fan, but my fan is chinese branded hahahaha
@@caelari1722 I think all fans are made in china like everything else.
Also, you should've taken apart the motor and oiled the rear bearing, which is non-exposed.
If there's a super high pitched noise that's noticeable only when there are no other ambient sounds (e.g., you're laying on the couch reading and it stands out at any setting), is that anything that is truly correctable, lube or not...or is that more likely due to the motor being built with cheap components?
Does that make fan squeak?
Cast motor casing, better than stamped steel, take the motor completely apart and lube both bearings.
No question that would be good. Because SqueaksGone penetrates quickly and thoroughly it still reaches the inner bearings.
These motors don't have bearings magnetism balances the rotor.
But well it fall apart if i take it apart tho
these motors do not have bearings they are just bushings.
Thank yoy I'm a fan now! Get it! Lol
Nice pun!
C r i n g e m a h b o i
@@mr.nanolando7892 your cringe dude
@@rafiksiuI made this comment 2 years before,I have already grown up
@@mr.nanolando7892 took a look on your vids you changed nun dude
I immediately thought to get some for my cheap overseas fans that need so much cleaning and bushings oiled.
Most of the time oil will do crap, it will work for a short time but the question is simple, if the bearings are worn, the squeak will come back quite fast. It's a question of quality now, everything nowadays is made to stop working after a certain period, gone beyond that, it will fight you to keep the thing working.
You are right in many aspects. Worn out parts won’t be repaired by a lube. I have found that fans generally begin to squeak and slow or stop due to build up of dust, dirt, and grime before the bears actually wear out. SqueaksGone cleaned and lubed at the same time so the fan gets moving properly again. The real difference is whether the product used to get the fan working will attract dust and dirt to cause the problem to happen again. That is where SqueaksGone is very different.
@@squeaksgone2403 When I take mine apart after a year or two of usage, what I often see are the ball bearings in a terrible state, but yes, maintenance is the key to extending the life of these, it's amazing what cleaning does to a rotating device.
I have a vertical fan making noise and doesn’t want to spin. I wana try some marvel magic mystery oil and see how it does. Thanks for sharing your video.
thanks for video. you said you only used three drops, but I saw you apply five, one of them a double dose too. But that's me quibbling.
Sorry about that. The point was mainly that it takes only a few drops rather than dowsing the entire thing in liquid like would be the case if you attempted to use an aerosol spray to lube/clean it.
Well, he did say in the video "Three drops, or so." :)
How many drops you need depends on how bad the fan is running. Most of the time you'll only need about 3 drops, but this fan was in exceptionally bad condition. It was very loud and would only spin on the high setting. In cases like that, it's most likely going to need more. I would never use more then about 8 drops though, and 8 drops should only be used it the most rare and extreme of cases.
Maybe if you want a wind machine by Lasko, a 1988 Galaxy Wind Machine is better since like other vintage fans, they where actually built to be maintained and last awhile.
Seth Horst good advice. Thanks
thnks yaar..you are a lofe saver...
squeaksgone, nano bonding to steel and repels dust because it's made with genuine snake oil!
I know there is a lot of snake oil out there. Interesting that a variant of this same technology is in use by Amtrak because it does not attract dust and dirt and has kept them from having jammed doors now for over two years. Another variant of this product is in use in weapons for the same reasons that it works in extreme conditions and does not attract dust and dirt. If it is snake oil, it is very effective snake oil.
Thank u man u save my fan
Don’t use motor oil. It makes it worse for some reason. Also since you have it apart unscrew the motor and oil the rear bearings too. 3 in 1 oil is ok but the gun oil you get when buying a new pistol seems to work the best.
Oh I fixed it I just turned it on long enough and it worked
Paint a spiral in the centre of the fan and paint the tips.
Thanks! this video helps a lot for me! (My fan is fixed)
How do you get the blade of the fan off?
Just pull really hard.
Any idea how i can fix the annoying noise the motor makes when using the fan? Besides the noise from the blades spinning it makes this annoying humming noise i have noticed a lot of fans do this and i need a solution.
If the hum is new then it is possible that using SqueaksGone to lube the bearings and a good cleaning can help. Some motors have a noise that is related to the motor and not the bearings. Most of these motors have the noise from day one and lubes don’t resolve that issue. I think you should give SqueaksGone a try. Doesn’t cost much to try and may save you the cost of a new fan.
@@squeaksgone2403 I have cleaned the motor. I disassemble it and put grease inside. It quiets it down but the noise is still their.
mine sounds like that but louder like shit inside the motor is rattlin around inside though i doubt thats the case
Can I use olive oil
The short answer is yes, as a temporary fix. The primary issue is olive oil will begin to dry out and leave a residue that attracts dust and dirt. Then your problem will return. You could just keep retreating it with olive oil if you wanted to, but make sure you clean it before applying more olive oil or the problem will keep getting worse. The better choice is to treat it with a SqueaksGone that does not attract dust and dirt.
Thank u for this video..🙏🙏
It worked. Thankx
i do this with vintage fans
Good idea. Saves money and keeps fans working.
@@PlanetSafeProducts vintage fans are expensive but cheap too some are 5$ or over 100$
Would hair clipper oil be ok ? I’ve never put oil on my fan had mine since 2003 blades are a bit rusty but gonna spray paint them too
If the fan is not spinning as it should hair clipper oil will help. It will be temporary as it also will collect dust and dirt. That is one of the primary benefits of SqueaksGone, it protects and lubricates and does not attract dust and dirt.
SqueaksGone was just slightly stiff but did the oil works alright now it’s bout be slightly stiff it’s 2003 .i got it
FYl - most "hair clipper oil" is actually just WD40. l found this out through the manufacturer (Wahl)
How did u pull out the fan blade ???..... I pulled and pulled and mine still didn't come out
This fan had a simple plastic screw on cover at the center post. Some fans have a set screw that requires an allen wrench or hex end wrench.

Can I use w-40?
The problem with WD-40 is that it is a solvent rather than a lubricant. It may give you temporary relief but then it dries out and attracts more dust and dirt and causes it to stop again. All WD-40 does is soften the material blocking the fan movement and then it dries out and you get to have the same problem as before. Squeaks Gone actually is a lubricant that bonds to the metal surface and penetrates the micro-spaces providing lubrication that lasts.
What planetsafeproducts said.. i used wd-40 fixed for a couple of days then its squeeking again
Or you could fix your fan for real by opening the motor and inserting 3-in-one blue can lubricant in the felt for the bearings. Instead of just putting a few drops of oil that will do nothing to repair the fan because the oil isn’t being absorbed by the felt pad properly, you can extend the life of your fan and save money by servicing the fan properly.
Applying Squeaks Gone directly to the felt pads is a great idea. Applying an oil that attracts dust and dirt is a bad idea. Squeaks Gone actually penetrates deep to reach the pads directly. Other oils do not.
So, for these semi-delicate situations I use sewing machine oil. I'm not old but I asked an old-timer..
I am old. Sewing machine oil is likely to give you a temporary fix. Difference is sewing machine oil is not going to bond to the metal and liquify carbon build-up. Squeaks Gone is long lasting.
is that a DC motor?
No. It runs off 110 volts AC.
Will WD40 do the trick?
The problem with WD-40 is that it is a solvent rather than a lubricant. It may give you temporary relief but then it dries out and attracts more dust and dirt and causes it to stop again. All WD-40 does is soften the material blocking the fan movement and then it dries out and you get to have the same problem as before. Squeaks Gone actually is a lubricant that bonds to the metal surface and penetrates the micro-spaces providing lubrication that lasts.
how did u take out the fan
In this case there was a twist on plastic nut on the end of the motor shaft.
these motors are a bad design barely anything supports the bushings so the rotor can easily become unbalanced and cause alot of noises.
I haved buy a new industrial fan for my family but is very noisezy?How to make it more silence?
@@calvinlaicheekin5246 sorry just saw this comment. Them fans are nosy because of how the fan blades are made they chop the air and cause that annoying noise. That blade pattern must move the most amount of air possible so they make them that way.
Was $7.00. Now nearly $13..
It works!!!!!
Tytyyy
Always like to hear successful outcomes. Way to go.
wd40?
WD-40 offers a temporary fix. It dries out and leaves a residue that attracts dust and dirt then it clogs up again. SqueaksGone does not attract dust and dirt. It keeps the fan working for a long time.
@@squeaksgone2403 and clipper oil from Wahl? :D it's lubricant also
WD-40 STINKS and is toxic! It should only be used outdoors! That is no doubt the spray can stuff that the uploader was referring to in his video.
This isn't a repair video, it's some dude hocking relabeled electric motor oil and jacking up the price. SMFH
Squeaksgone selling squeaksgone oil..why 5+ minutes add? Reality, any heavy oil will do the job (i used lucas oil stabilizer for my AC compressor fan and worked fine 5 years).
That's not grease !!! its cotton which hold the oil for lubricating the shaft and bearing..... its a cheap Chinese tactics they know eventually it will fail and the fan will not run or over heat or it will burn the thermal fuse in series with the running coil..... and people will buy new fan .... This is how Chinese making American dollar
can we use a cooking oil? as an alternative?
It might give temporary relief but it will revert back to its problem state quickly. The cooking oil will also attract dust and dirt quickly. The lube needs to bond to the metal. That takes SqueaksGone's nano-technology to make that work.
no no no never use cooking oil it gets sticky and gunks up your motor I have a friend that you've got the motor overheated and actually caught fire has cooking oil does you squeaks begone sewing machine oil fan oil or all-purpose sewing machine oil
I think white lithium grease would be good.W.D--40 attracts dust and dirt.So don't use that .I also transmission fluid will work is that true please let me know asap thank you .deply appreciated.
Try shaving oil. It has worked on my fan. It just keeps on going and going and going at full speed possible. It even spins for almost 2 minutes after I turn it off. Shaving oil is also non-toxic.
I used it to re-oil my air conditioner motor as well. It was screaming due to the oil absorbing felt material that keeps the brass bushing lubricated having dried up after 18 years.
NEWKNOWLEDGE sounds good will definitely try it.
Can you use wd40 too
Cool Girl you could us WD-40 to clean it but it is not a Lubricant, it is a solvent. The solvents eventually dry out, leaving a residue that attracts dust and dirt that reintroduces problems. Squeaksgone is a Lubricant that works but does not attract dust and dirt.
@@squeaksgone2403 😕 ohhhhhh I did not know that about wd40, thank you so much for telling me that, you saved me from making a dumb mistake
Looks like canola oil
Actually SqueaksGone bio-synthetic active ingredients in a light mineral oil base. It penetrates much better than any vegetable oil, provides anti-wear and extreme pressure properties that allow it to bond to the metal and provide lasting protection.
I find just buying a new one will fix the squeak as well ✅️ 😁
It is even less expensive to throw the fan away. The squeak is gone then as well. If repair is ever a possibility I suggest giving it a try. It is far more satisfying. Squeaks Gone actually works.
tip: dont do this with wd40, my fan literally just caught on fire 😭🤣
Toxic and hazardous aerosol lubricants are a problem from many different perspectives. Potential fire is one of those issues.
WD40 is not a lubricant dude.
@@MrWolfSnack thanks for the info 4 months after i set my fan on fire
Never, ever, have I been able to stop a squeaky fan by oiling it; ever. Never works. Just doesn't. I can get a fan to last about a year before it starts sounding like someone strangling a chicken. Doesn't matter if I spend $12 or $50. Doesn't matter if it has plastic blades or metal. Oiling it does not work. Cleaning it doesn't make a difference either. It just will not stop squealing. Makes me want to absolutely scream.
Maybe you are saying it will not stop squeaking forever. To that I agree. But using a penetrating lubricant that bonds to the metal ionically, as Squeaks Gone does, can remove the squeaks for a long period of time. I have done it myself and many users of Squeaks Gone have as well.
Because you have no idea what you are doing. You have to take the motor apart and strip the old grease out, replace it with a high quality high RPM grease and better ball bearings.
Lol no need for these, had so many of these squeaky sounds from fans throughout my life, a couple tablespoons of cooking oil works just as well.
Lol That’s What I Just Did I Use Vegetable Oil And Boom My Fan Stopped Screaming 😂😂
Hi maybe you can help me. I don't know how to take the blades off my HDX high velocity floor fan to put lubricant just like you did. Can you advise me on how to go about it please?
I have something I need to show u

Do you have Instagram

I just used sewing machine oil and fixed a fan that hasnt got serviced since 1990 so dont be like cheap oil doesnt do it .
Wow......I have the exact same fan with the exact same problem. I followed your advice step by step and the problem was fixed. Only difference I used WD 40 and now it's running smooth and quietly. Thank you so much. 👍🏼
Congratulations. Keep in mind that WD-40 is a solvent rather than a lubricant. Anticipate your problem recurring as WD-40 dries out and begins to attract dust and dirt again. Lets hope it lasts long enough that you are happy with the outcome. At least now you know how to take it apart so you can keep re-applying WD-40 if that is your desire. Good luck.
Take the motor apart and oil the. Felt pad
Besides squeak gone can I use anything else
It's not $7.00 anymore. It's $12. Is that a hyper-lubricant?
Yes, prices have gone up. I wish the cost of doing business and buying materials did not also go up. Not a hyper-lubricant, just one that works.
@@tomquigley2894 thanks for your reply. I happen to have a squeaky fan and some MotorKote hyprlube. I'm thinking of trying it.
I fixed my fan today. Thanks a lot !!!
applehotful great.
Four screws, motor apart, oil the back bearing. Motor oil works fine.
Great video bro, is there SqueaksGone substitute? Thanks again.
Not with the same properties. It needs to bond to the metal and penetrate deeply. No other lube does that.
Thanks for Vid bro.. subscribed
What If I use engine oil I know it's used in a pretty harsh environment e.g. hot and cold environment high rpm and doesn't dry out as far as I know
What you will find is it does not penetrate much at all. A key to this is SqueaksGone actually penetrates into micro spaces and then bonds to the metal to protect it from wear and friction. Most oils that penetrate also attract dust and make the fix short lived. SqueaksGone does not attract dust and dirt so the fix is much longer.
Another problem with using engine oil to lubricate fan bushings (not the case with bearings), is that bushings are generally lubricated by the manufacturer with graphite, and the detergents in engine oil can expand the graphite, causing the bushing to resist turning the rotor even more than before you applied the engine oil. So it's a good idea to use only non-detergent oil, 10 or 20 weight preferred, like air compressor oil. There's also a type of 3-In-1 oil that's specific to motors--it has a blue label, while the multipurpose 3-In-1 oil (that you shouldn't use in a fan motor) has a red label. Also, thinner oils like WD-40, penetrating lubricants, etc., though they'll penetrate into a bearing or bushing, tend to dry out after a while, leaving little if any lubrication in a bushing or bearing, and they don't have the preferred oil weight either. It looks like SqueakSgone has all the proper characteristics for lubricating both fan bearings and bushings--it seems to be a penetrating lubricant that has some weight to it, so it sticks around, as well as bonding to the bushing/bearing's metal.
Thank you for posting this video you saved me money.
Ok so lube is gone shaft gets hot and damaged and motor stops new fans have fused plug it pops. To properly fix. disassemble motor, mark halves, use wire to hold washers be sure of which side of shaft. The bearings are porious they have felt packing if missing use felt pushed in, use non detergent oil only. drop oil in to packing until shiney at touch. I block end of bearing clean iso and q tip. then fill oil let soak in... next onto shaft its black scored not shiny its the problem.. 3k 4k sand paper 3m polish paper. drill in a vise you turn the shaft to remove damage at a low speed.. until nail doesnt feel damage and wow shine. do other side.. clean up. put washers in correct side I litely oil shaft reassemble. with marks from before.. turn the shaft is it easy spins free? if not loosen motor screws move till easier, good now? it must spin freely. If still stiff or whatever wrap on shaft ends with a good wrap (hit)it will realine the 2 oilite bearings. smooth now spins do again.. pro trick.. if not free smooth waste of time.. mine spin smooth freely, if not do above again..youll get the feel... reassemble. good for years.. next i use a watts meter to see if motor is within spech. they do sell plugs with fuses to replace blown blue plug. bath fan 16 years box fan 60 plus years , commercial fan window since 2000.. you must replace fused plug for safety This is an article for fun. lots of homes have burnt down.. You are now aware.. replace the fuse.... or toss the fan..
I like putting stuff together and it's so nice to that my husband don't like. Put stuff together like me hi IAM Ashley cayton and thank you IAM going do that to my fan I have one like that in my bed room it's like your fan lol if you can save money it's nice do that lol nice video and IAM new thanks good luck with your fan 😁😂🤣😀
How does the Blade come off (same fan) I tried pulling on it as much as possible without breaking something and the blade would not budge!
Not all fans are built the same. In some instances there is a knob or plastic cap that holds the fan to the motor shaft. It may be that the center motor shaft is threaded at the top and there is some form of cap or nut or knob that is holding the fan to the motor shaft. I suspect that is what is happening. In other instances there is a bolt that is on the back side of the fan that screws into the plastic and pushes against the motor shaft to lock the blade in place and keep it from flying off the motor shaft. Those screws usually require a hex wrench to insert into the top to unscrew.
Same exact Wind Machine Fan in your video, but mine does have what looks like a dust-shroud covering the front of the motor, behind the Blade and that can be moved a little...just took it apart and tried to pull the Blade off to lube the motoe...Blade wouldn't budge!
My WINTAIR Pedestal Fan 'does' have a revers threaded Cap to first un-spin then Blade will simply pull off.
However, my Wind Machine has me beat...i can't see anything that is holding the Blade on the Motor Shaft.
Try viewing the following video that describes how to disassemble the fan. I think it may help. th-cam.com/video/5HJVuyhgBjI/w-d-xo.html
Isn’t it weird you would need a bolt behind the fan and not in front as the force from the air would move the blade backward if it was able to move freely? Wouldn't the fan fly in the direction of the suction?
Yea I thought my fan was unbalanced but turns out it just needed some oil, if oil doesn’t help then try liking the hiddin barring inside.
Thank you very much
I don't think I'm going to spend $13 to save a $20 fan I've had for 12 years, but I'll keep this in mind if I have more expensive fans to fix in the future.

Lasko Wind Machine.
I have a 1980s vantage galaxy table fan that is slow to start up which used to be my grandmother's. Will this stuff work on it
Yes. The methods are mostly transferable to any fan. What you want to do is gain access to the rotating shaft and bearings. That is where the issues come from fans slow to start. A small amount of SqueaksGone lube will penetrate deep into the bearing and shaft to provide the lubrication needed. You might get some temporary relief from an aerosol spray but it will dry and leave a residue that only attracts more dust and dirt and then it gets even slower to start until it won't start. Good luck.
That's a lasko wind machine
Can u use Machine oil?
When you look up how to fix the squeaking on a fan and it’s the same one you have in the video hahahab
Seems about right. LOL
Hellou what kind of oil is that?
Squeaks Gone is a bio-synthetic oil. It consists of several biological components - seed oils, several synthetic (man-made) oils, all in a light mineral oil base. These give special properties to the oil so that it bonds ionically (shares electrons with the metal surfaces) to reduce friction, wear, rust, corrosion, and heat. Lasts a long time and a small amount goes a long way.
@@tomquigley2894will WD40 do the trick?
@@kazooman4050. The thing about WD-40 is that it is a solvent not a lubricant. So if you use WD-40 it requires thoroughly cleaning it off after use. Otherwise it dries out and leaves a residue that attracts dust and dirt, creating the problem all over again.
How long does this solution last? When do i have to reapply?
It varies according to the conditions under which the fan operates. We have many folks who have not had to reapply SqueaksGone for over 2 years. On the other hand it really depends on the condition of your fan and the operating conditions. It they fan is showing signs of slowing down or sluggish to start up, then reapply. If you have the time and want to clean and treat your fan you could do that once a year at the beginning of your use of the fan.
When it’s starts to squeak
This works like a charm, thanks so much
why is there a hole in the center of the blade?
In the center of the fan is where the shaft of the motor connects. The offset hole in the fan blade has no obvious application. I am uncertain as to why it is there.
SqueaksGone im wondering if the hole is to allow heat from the motor to escape through it as the blade spins. It has to be a reason for it.
We were able to learn that the hole provides access to screws that hold the unit together. You rotate the blade until it is over each screw and then loosen the screw to disassemble the unit. Thanks
Thanks that was really helpful.
I used it on my lady. We are seniors. No more loud zex squeaking noises!!!!! It works!!!! 😂
Thank you I'm going to try this out today. 😊😊
can we use coconut oil??
Short answer is almost anything is better than nothing. The reason SqueaksGone works so well is it penetrates and bonds directly to the metal. That gives lasting protection and lubrication that other oils and lubes don't provide.
It won't spin at all
