Holmes Blizzard Electric Fan Adjustment Knob Replacement

Introduction

The Holmes Blizzard Electric table fan comes pre-assembled, but external forces could cause the adjustment knob on the base to break or snap. Luckily there is a way to replace the knob and clean the fan blades from collected lint or dust. You will need a Phillips head screwdriver and some pliers as the screws could be tricky to pull out. Once the fan blades are wiped down and the knob is replaced, the fan will correctly stabilize and there will be no debris flying out when the fan spins.
