My 20-year-old Honeywell fan has been acting up. When I turn it on, more often than not, it rotates about 10% of normal speed, struggling as it does. A little push on the blades generally will help it get up to speed, after which, it runs at normal speed just fine.
I think the problem is too much friction. Accordingly, I am thinking it might help (?) to lubricate the back end of the rotor shaft and the bushing holding it. I've attached a picture.
Assuming it might help to lubricate that interface, I am not sure what lubricant to use. If the lubricant might damage the fan (e.g., the electrical components), that defeats the purpose of trying to fix the issue. Also, because I use the fan in my home, I do not want a mess or foul odors.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. If you think I ought to just buy a new fan, that's an option, too:-)
