How to clean your Honeywell Turbo Force® HT900 or HT908 products.
What you will need: Phillips Head screwdriver and a soft damp cloth.
Be sure to unplug your fan before cleaning. Lay your fan gently face down on a flat sturdy surface. Locate the 5 screws found on the back grille. Each screw can be loosened by unscrewing each head to the Left.
Once all screws have been loosened, slowly lift the fan into an upright position using the back carrying handle. Do not lift up to quickly as screws may fall out. Separate the front grille along the seam where the screws are located.
Use your damp cloth to wipe the fan grilles and blade. Now that we’ve finished cleaning our unit, find the 5 screws and lay the fan down on its back.
Place the front grille onto the unit lining up the notch in the grille with the notch along the bottom of the fan. Once everything is aligned, carefully flip fan over so it is front face down. Insert each screw one at a time and using your Phillips Head screwdriver, gently tighten.
You should be all set to start using your fan again. Thank you for choosing Honeywell Fans for your cooling needs. - Věda a technologie
Great fan. Though, you guys should make the spots that hold the screws a lot more shallow so more screwdriver options can be used to open it.
I agree. I just spent the last 2 hours trying to get to them. No luck. 😂
Those screws are something else. I ended up using cotton swabs and a vacuum cleaner nozzle
Took me all night. Great fan but REALLY?
Use a long magnetic screwdriver I have one from harbor freight
They could also stop making the screws out of butter so they don't get stripped if your Philips doesn't fit them exactly. They just want you to buy a new fan.
The only screwdrivers I have that are long enough are too thick. I think this is the first time in my life where I didn't have a single tool to do what I wanted to do. I can't even improvise a tool that gets into those damn holes. Horrible design.
I watched 60 minutes do a segment, a few weeks back, on how manufactures are making their products as hard as possible to fix so you'll have to buy a new one. I think its reprehensible.
Yea trying to clean out the hair from mine and it’s all coiled up the motor shaft and I don’t know how to remove the blades to clean it out
They love to keep you buying
That's right! Despicable disposable society...check out "Right to Repair"
Jokes on them, I won’t ever buy their brand of anything again.
I agree with you. They do the same thing with printers. Once the ink waste pads are full, it turns your printer into a brick and you cannot use it at all unless you buy third party software to reset it and put in an external waste tank, but that isn't common knowledge. I learned the same thing with vacuums. You can't even replace the belt on some models without replacing the entire head. Makes me mad too and it's no wonder why the landfills are full.
The screws on mine are difficult to get into, there very deep and the entry way is angled
Hey AD. Thank you for reaching out to us. We'd like to look further into this. Please contact us by emailing SocialSupport@helenoftroy.com.
exactly
Yup mine too
I have everyday screwdrivers and NONE are narrow enough or long enough to get to the screws.
@@toner37 yea I had to relive these troubles again when I took the fan out of storage to clean it, since the weather is getting warmer. Luckily I had this really old screw driver that I used for irrigation systems. Closet thing to it I could find is rainbird rotor screw driver
Eyelash/mascara spoolies work really well!!! One or two can clean the whole fan in the little crevices. You can use the blow dryer to blow the fan blades clean.
A long, medium sized flat makeup brush also works really well. There was no way I was getting those screws out
Thanks for this tip!
@@laurabraus This is a great tip!
Good thinking. I'm cotton swabs and a hoover attachment. Those get so filthy.😅
That’s brilliant, thank you!
I'm glad to see there is a short quick video on how to clean my lil fan .... I love her so much... Her name is Fanny 😂... I've had her for a year now... Thanks guys❤
Fanny, how cute. I have a dehumidifier in the house I call Humie, but now Fanny is born. xD
This is a really great fan. It’s a shame that it takes so much effort to clean
The fact that the fan blade isn't removable means you can really only clean half the fan. I end up with a lot of hair wound around the fan spindle that is really difficult to remove when the blades don't come off.
We are sorry to hear this has been your experience. For safety reasons, the fan blade cannot be removed. However, we would be happy to assist you. Please email us at SocialSupport@Helenoftroy.com and we will be happy to provide assistance.
That is my biggest gripe as well when it comes to cleaning the fan. I honestly just feel like dunking the whole thing in my pool and letting it sit outside to dry for a full 24hrs
@@lordmordor8160 I'm about to do that! Lol
There should be a plastic pressure washer that holds the blades on. You can remove it, but you have to slightly damage the washer when doing that. But it can be reused. If you do t want to go that route, you can always easily clean both sides of the blades with a damp paper towel and your hand while the blades are still attached. I would recommend a vac with a bristle attachment for the grilles.
Yes! This' why I came here today.
Since purchasing it, czcams.com/users/postUgkxQuBMI30VhO6fDed6NOsYftsoNa8x0UZ5 this fan is a trustworthy companion during the hot nights in Texas for me. The sleep mode is really quiet and gives you smooth wind to cool down. At full speed the fan is quite noisy but also very strong.Only weird thing is that if there is a draught from another fan, the sleep mode would speed up occasionally (getting a bit louder, probably to level 2 out of 4). This never happened so far when I used only this fan though.
Amazing
The screws were hiding infact I wouldn't have known their presence until I saw your video.
Thank you very much
Sneaky bois
did you have a narrow and long enough screwdriver to get to the screws? I don't
This fan is a big pain to clean and could be made a lot simpler; like easy clip ons like lasko does it. But at 15$ can’t complain too hard. It’s still a fan that does it’s job surprisingly very well for cheap.
Hey Avy. We're sorry to hear you are having a difficult time cleaning your fan. We'd like to help. Please reach out to us at SocialSupport@helenoftroy.com for assistance.
My Lasko falls apart if it just gets knocked over. The Honeywell has had hardcore accidents, still running like a top.
Yes, ALL you fan companies PLEASE make all models of your fans EASY to clean, such as removable fan blades 😩
Thank you so much for simple directions for a senior to follow 😊
I used several q-tips for cleaning 😊
*Love the size and it fits perfectly in a corner but **Fastly.Cool** the whole room. Really like how you can auto adjust how long you want the fan to be on. It is quite but highly effective.*
Finally a good example of a video where comments like this are supposed to go…
@@the_real_drwhoroblox1935 😅
Thank you so much for this tutorial, Honeywell! I have wondered for a couple of years how I could take this fan apart and clean it. Now I know!
The crazy comments and complainers almost convinced me it was too hard....lol But my regular Phillips head screwdriver took the screws right out. I washed the grill in a sink of soapy water. Then used various methods to clean the blade and motor. The whole process from start to finish took 30 minutes!
Now that I know how to do it, I can clean it a couple of times a year to keep it looking like new.
I appreciate the video very much! And I love this little fan so I'm happy to know I can clean it thoroughly as needed!
Thanks Honeywell for the video.
Yay, ty for this video. It was such a hassle to clean it before, but I'm glad that I now know that it can be disassembled. I have to find a way to clean behind the blades, but this will make it much easier.
I now join the bewildered owners who can't find a long, slender and aggressive enough (bite) Phillips screwdriver to start the cleaning process by removing the 6 screws. Absolutely mindblowing to think that someone's industrial designer couldn't think this through. I am beyond frustrated over this nonsensical waste of my time.
Hey Daniel. Thank you for reaching out to us. We'd like to help. Please contact us directly by emailing SocialSupport@helenoftroy.com for assistance.
I’m in complete agreement. I’m wondering just how Honeywell expects to “help” -unless they are going to pay for you to ship them your fan so that they can get their machines to put the screws back in (assuming you manage to get them out.)
I love this fan we bought 3 of them lol I couldn't figure out how to clean it till I found you guys on CZcams thank you .
Liar. You still didnt figure out how to clean it. This video is pure BS.
Imagine making the fan unable to be removed so it gets full of filth and clogs
It's not a safety issue or whatever their party line is, it's a money issue
If you spend less money on replacing the fan their stock might go down 0.001%
Hey Erwoul. Thank you for reaching out to us. We'd be happy to assist you with cleaning your fan. To do so, please reach out to us by emailing SocialSupport@helenoftroy.com.
Did you watch the video all you need is a screw 🪛 why u soo maad
Thank you for posting this video and to the people commenting, it's helpful.
NOT A THOROUGH CLEANING HONEY! The air intake area in the back of the fan around where the electric cord goes into the fan also needs to be cleaned. I used my vac pack and q-tips to clean out the accumulated dust (while unplugged of course)… important step to prevent fan- burnout!
I should have done this a long time ago. My fan looks like I dragged it in dirt lol ugh it was 101 degrees yesterday. This works better than my Samsung AC. No lie.
Very helpful thanks
Thanks for posting this. As usual I unbox a new appliance and fling the instuction booklet.
Hey Travis. We're happy to hear this posting was of help to you! We'd be happy to provide you with an owner's manual. Please reach out to us at SocialSupport@helenoftroy.com for assistance. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing .
It seems that every time I go into my bathroom, the person in the apartment below me is using his. Just very odd. So not only does this beautiful little fan produce "white" noise to muffle "my" business, it cools me on those especially hot, south Florida days and is great for dissipating the steam from my shower. Thanks for the informative video.
Thank you :)
I’ve spent the past hour trying to undo the screws with no luck, and I have philips head screwdrivers in dozens of sizes! I think I might have to throw the fan out, which makes me sad for the negative environmental impact and great waste.
Hey Samantha. We apologize for any inconvenience you have experienced. We'd like to help. Please contact us by emailing SocialSupport@helenoftroy.com for assistance.
I am currently having this same issue 😑😑
Thanks for the upload.
Nice fan but could of made it easier.
Thank you.
Bruh I’m sitting here with hurt hands because these screws won’t budge i been trying for an hour and just got my second one out while my fan is still covered in dust
Hey Jayvion. We're sorry to hear you had this experience. We'd like to help. Please contact us by emailing SocialSupport@helenoftroy.com.
Thx
I've had this fan for many years. It works well. However, it's filthy. I tried to follow these instructions, without success. Trying to get a small phillips head screwdriver into the deep slot to looses the screws was impossible. Great product, but has a huge flaw.
We are sorry to hear about the difficulty you are having with cleaning your fan. The holes around the outer edge of the back of the grille should accommodate most standard sized Philips Head screwdrivers and should not require a special Philips Head screwdriver to loosen the screws at the bottom of the wells. If you have any other questions or need assistance, please email our support team at SocialSupport@helenoftroy.com and we will be happy to assist you.
@@honeywellpluggedin9834 well, not so much if one is a 71 grandma. The screws seem to have been over-tightened at the factory.
Same here I’ve tried every screwdriver in the house they don’t fit in the hole. I’ve ordered small screwdriver on Amazon and they were too small. I’m just trying to clean years of dust. Geez I’m exhausted from trying.
@@Spucky50 I removed 8 screws around the perimeter with the philips head, but, there remains a screw at 12 and 6 o'clock of the large fan and it is definitely not a philips head screw. Those two remaining screws prevent removal. Amazing how this was designed.
@@honeywellpluggedin9834 lies there’s no way a standard phillips head is fitting into these holes not only are they stupidly angled when standard screwdrivers are straight but the screws are deep and there are multiple of them this isn’t the first fan i’ve hat this issue with
Omg thank you 😅
TY for vid
what is the size screwdriver will I need? I want to order it from Amazon. The screwdriver I have is too wide. I have a universal with bits. I'd appreciate the size in metric and standard.
How do you take the blades off? I need to know how to get the hair an random strings that get caught out??
Thank you for reaching out. For additional assistance with cleaning your fan, please reach out to our team at SocialSupport@helenoftroy.com.
Here is what you'll need: Phillips screwdriver (standard should do) - cleaning spray - wet cloth - cleaning brushes or toothbrushes or anything else you can devise to get in nooks and crannies - - and a can of air and black Gorilla tape or something comparable. Remove the 6 screws (good luck), take the front off and clean it with warm water/spray/cleaning brushes, . . . use the wet cloth, brushes and can of air to remove dust from the blades and inside behind blades. When you are finished cleaning, put the front back on and secure it with the strong black tape and throw the little tiny useless screws away. You don't have to put the tape all the way around the seam, just about 6 or 7 small pieces strategically placed will work. I'm a female and I don't have all the necessary screwdriver tools to make it easy. I sweated an hour to get those tiny screws back in and tightened. Just could not do it. Next time I clean it, it will be a "breeze" to do!
Great minds think alike! I struggled for an hour to get this done thing clean with Q-Tips. Then I couldn't get The front of it on because of those stupid screws. I decided to do gorilla tape as well😀
That’s exactly my worry. I’m afraid that if I ever find Phillips screwdriver long enough and skinny enough to remove the screws, there’s no way I will get them back into such deep tight wells. So I’ll probably end up taping the front grill on like you did.
Well, I have a single Phillips it fit in the holes just perfect but the fan didn’t want to come off and underneath it is tangled with long hair in dust from my daughter, but I love the fan otherwise
Hey Scott. We'd be happy to assist you with cleaning your fan. Please reach out to us by emailing SocialSupport@helenoftroy.com for assistance. Thank you.
2 of my 6 screws are security bit Torx glad I have the bits
Hey Joe. It sounds you may have an older version of this fan, we would instead recommend cleaning with compressed air. We hope this is helpful. If you require additional assistance, please contact us at SocialSupport@helenoftroy.com.
@@honeywellpluggedin9834 My fan has three Torx screws. Can you tell me what size Torx driver I need to get? My fan is filthy but it has worked flawlessly for about 15 years.
@Honeywell would a small microfiber duster work to clean this?
Thank you for your inquiry. We would recommend using a flexible duster, pipe cleaner, or compressed air to help you clean your fan. Compressed air cans are available at local hardware and office supply stores. We hope this information is helpful. If you require additional assistance, please email us at SocialSupport@helenoftroy.com.
thanks. Very fiddly
Really tough to get screws out, which makes it very difficult to clean
I'm glad it can be taken apart because these things collect dust like it's some kinda ancient artifact
i like the old fans better, easier to clean, those hidden screws are not easy with arthritis, so next will e a power screwdriver with magnetic tips.
Yeah ok if it was this easy we wouldn’t all be here! They made this fan impossible to clean! They put the screws to the cover so deep if u don’t have a screwdriver that’s long enough AND thin enough, u won’t be able to reach the screws! My first and last Honeywell purchase. I don’t like when companies play with the consumer like this just to force us to buy new stuff we don’t NEED! A dirty fan blows bad air and this one can’t be cleaned properly!!
Hey NaughtyB. We apologize for any inconvenience you have experienced with cleaning your fan. We'd love to help. Please reach out to us by emailing SocialSupport@helenoftroy.com for assistance.
Exactly 💯
Agreed. Worst fan ever.
You must know it's irritatingly impossible to get the screws out.
Do we get a 7' giant teddy bear carnival prize if we manage to do it Honeywell?
serious question.
I have the correct decent tool to remove the screws but won't work because it's not impractical.
Just needed to get fluff off the inside but I will buy a new one and a different brand and now I know exactly what to look for too.
>^..^< /
I started to disassemble the housing when I noticed that two of the six screws are that star pattern and Not the philips standard screw so I'm screwed at the moment because I don't have this particular screwdriver. Why would they do this anyway???

This fan is literally the worst to clean. Pretty much impossible
@@honeywellpluggedin9834 WENT AND BOUGHT A SET OF SCREWDRIVERS just so I could get required star tip. Will be cleaning the fan in the near future providing I don't run into anymore unforseen problems
@@warg2103 mine has the same thing. I also went and bought a set of screwdrivers. And yet I'm still having problems. The smallest star tip I got which is a TX10 is to big.
Warg same with my fan what they are is a security bit its a type of torx bit why they were put on a fan I have no idea

Mine has some sort of security screw. Phillips only works on 4 of the 6
@@willywonkalucretia Same here! the very top and bottom screws are HEX shaped. I have hex screw drivers but NONE work! Going to throw this fan against a wall and buy one from another company that I CAN easily open and clean!
I have the same fan but bigger not tower. I cleaned it and now I can not get it to click into different angles. No clicking sound. Do you know what I did wrong when I put it back together. Runs fine but won't lock in positions.

If you have any other questions or need further assistance, please email our support team at SocialSupport@helenoftroy.com and we will be happy to assist you.
Wow, was it just the way I read that reply from Honeywell Plugged In? I personally was insulted for you.
They felt it was "so common" they "didn't need to explain it"... it sounded like they felt that anyone who could not figure it out was not to smart...
As a manufacture of any product, wouldn't it make better sense to just provide complete instruction... so that your customer would note have to know what the most common screw driver was? Additionally, why did the CSR decide to change the "most common" reply used on a comment like this? To a poorly, not to mention, potentially insulting reply?
Exactly! A screwdriver that long and skinny is not common in every household. They knew what they were doing making it a pain to clean so you’d toss it and buy a new one! Im going to buy a new one but not from Honeywell!
TERRIBLE RESPONSE! HOW RUDE

PRO TIP: Remove all of the screws, put them in a small Ziploc bag and use duct tape to hold the top in place for easy periodic cleaning as the bottom of the front piece is notched. Next time just remove the duct tape to clean it. Easy peasy!
All of you people freaking out that it wouldn't open, I managed it literally in a second. You need a longer and thinner screwdriver and you'll be fine.

I agree! I spent about 20 minutes the other day and only removed 4 of the six. I was very frustrated, ran out of time, and gave up for the day. I really wish they made it easier to clean the fan since that is something that you should do on a regular basis.
The new ones have Phillips screws, but if you have a fan older than 8 years it will probably have torx screws
Like in my case
That is correct that older fans do not have Philips head screws. The older versions of our fans were not made to be opened. However, our newer fans are made to be able to open the front grille to clean. If your grille cannot be removed, we would advise using a flexible cleaning wand or pipe cleaner, along with compressed air. If you have any other questions or need assistance, please email our support team at SocialSupport@helenoftroy.com.

It is so hard to unscrew these screws to clean this fan. Shouldn't be that difficult.
Hello April. The screws should not be difficult to loosen. They should not be removed from the unit, and it is hard to remove them fully, but they should be able to be loosened easily.

who was the genius that put the screws into a bottomless inaccesible pit that you cannot see while you are trying to unscrew

luck not look
My screw driver wasn't even long enough to reach the screws
Good fan....crappy screws. Should be Robertson screws, not Philips. So hard to remove them and hard to clean.

I like the product performance and build quality. A BIG BUT. The on/off and intensity switch is concealed in the rear of the device and is incredibly difficult to power on/off or adjust and requires two hands. Totally useless for people with limited hand dexterity or some elderly.

@@honeywellpluggedin9834 Thank you for replying. I’m not moaning for no reason. My mother just can’t operate this device. On her old fan she could tap a button for any setting. This Honeywell fan, even for someone able-bodied, requires you to grab the device, turn it around and fiddled around with the half hidden switch just to power on/off. It’s a shame as otherwise it would be a nice product. I’ve returned it to Amazon.
Good luck finding a screwdriver thin enough lmao

The screws are impossible to get to. Y’all know ya did this on purpose so we can struggle with the clean and just end up buying a new one. What a scam.

@@honeywellpluggedin9834 Thanks for the reply! I sure will!!
You should absolutely not need 6 screws for this fan, it’s is so ridiculous and it’s impossible to clean, I just bought mine 5 days ago and the motor burned up because you can’t separate the blade from the motor to clean hair or anything. So stupid.

Dawg this fan actually sucks when it comes to cleaning. Like huge fatal flaw, had no issues until it came to getting the dust out… wish I could return the thing because truly this is the worst fan cleaning experience ever. Box fans for life cuh

The screws are too deep in narrow wells. Most screwdrivers are either too short or too thick to reach them. Bad design!
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We'd like to help. For additional assistance with cleaning your fan, please reach out to our team at SocialSupport@helenoftroy.com.
I don’t know what kinda fat ass screw drivers y’all are using but it worked fine for me🤷🏻♂️
