    • Unscrew the clip-on stand that connects the fan. This can be done by hand.

    • Turn the fan so that the back is facing up and remove the screw on the upper part of the housing.

    • Remove the back casing to reveal the switch's screws on the inner part of the casing. Remove those as well.

    • The switch's settings:

    • Off (center)

    • Speed 1 (left)

    • Turn the fan around so that the front is facing upwards. Remove the front grill by carefully popping out the edges from the plastic tabs around the enclosure.

    • Remove the fan blade by carefully forcing it off the motor shaft. It may help to use the wrench as a lever and slowly push it out.

    • Remove the two screws indicated in order to take the module out of the plastic.

    • The motor is connected to the blue transformer. The yellow and white wires indicate the two power outputs for the speed of the motor's rotation.

    • That's it! There isn't too much when taking this device apart.

    • Note: You can further expand on the teardown by taking apart the transformer to DC motor set-up, but it's such a simple circuit that it isn't necessary to look at it.

Hi, I was wondering where I could find a clip and base for a 6 inch fan. The fan itself works just fan. Preferably it should be an online store.

Thanks for reading.
