Holmes Blizzard Fan Oscillation Button Replacement

Step 1 Front Cage Removal




• Using a Phillips #2 Screwdriver, remove the 3 screws located on the back of the fan cage.
• Next, loosen the screw located on the bottom of the fan.
• The bottom screw does not need to be removed, but only loosened about 3 or 4 turns.
• The front of the fan's cage is now able to be removed by prying the front away from the back.
Step 2




• Using a 7 mm socket and wrench, remove the 2 nuts that are behind the fan blades.
• There is a washer located behind each nut. Be sure not to lose these.
Step 3 Remove the Oscillation Button Screw
• On the top of the fan, there is a screw fastening the oscillation button to the gear train within the housing. Remove this screw with the Phillips #0 Screwdriver.
Step 4 Housing Assembly Removal
• The on/off and fan speed nob can be removed by simply pulling it away from the main housing.
Step 5
• Remove the 2 screws holding the clear plastic plate in place with a Phillips #2 Screwdriver.
• The plate is now free and can be taken out by hand.
Step 6
• The motor switch is also free and can be removed by hand to reveal a screw holding the housing assembly in place.
• Be sure not to damage the wires on the switch during removal. While you do not need to be overly gentle during this step, excessive force could cause the wires to be pulled out.
Step 7
• Remove the screw that holds the housing assembly in place by using a Phillips #2 Screwdriver.
Step 8
• The housing assembly can now be pulled off and pushed to the side to reveal the fan motor and gear train.
• The oscillation button the was unscrewed earlier will fall out of the housing assembly.
