G'day all,
The motor has stopped working on my fan and I was wondering if these can be easily re-wound or re-brushed etc. or am I better off buying a new one and are they still available, I see second hand ones occasionally on Ebay but cant be sure how long they will last as they are all about the same age as mine now.Any help appreciated.
Cheers.Russ.

What's actually wrong with the fan? Is it something obviously burnt out or did it just stop? Check that the resistor component hasn't overheated and burnt out - this is a safety thing to stop the wiring getting too hot when running on slower speeds...

I've opened up a landscaping shop to get rid of it all - it's going by the truckload! :-)
Actually, since you're watching, Dave, I'm up to mounting the unit inside. Yeah, yeah, things move slowly around here when it's just a weekend job... I can put

Russ...I think HX was same as HQ. It usually isnt the fan. Its the resistor pack.
Open bonnet look for 2 heater hoses at the heater box. Just to the right u will see a while electical connector going to a thing with 2 screws. that is the resistor. Take
