Cleaning A Fan

TBTINKER -

Story image

My Problem

After cleaning my two portable fans in warm water, ensuring not to get the motors wet, they broke. One stoped working entirely and the other sounded like the motor worked, but the fan blades weren't spinning! I looked though many guides but none worked, so I had to fix it without help.

My Fix

After a while of tinkering around, I wet a cloth in warm water and gently wiped down the fan blades. It worked, one of the fans was fixed! the other, however, wasn't and I'm still trying to get it working.

My Advice

don't wash a device unless you know what you're doing.
