I've had this fan for like a year and for some reason, they hid the screws in just the right way where I could never figure out how to open it up. For a while I just assumed they sonically welded the plastic or something. I was considering just buying a new one, but I figured I'd look up the model number, and your video was the first result. Huge, huge thanks for covering my blind spot with this one 😅
@@allthesense I have a fan just like this and it's filthy as yuck! Now I can clean it with no problem. Thanks for the video. What screwdriver do you recommend for a job like this?
I just cleaned out one of these and have another one to clean. I didn't unscrew the Motor or anything like that but between some Cleaning Wipes, a Tongue Depressor (for cleaning through the Grillwork all over), Popsicle Stick (to get the tinier areas) and some Canned Air to get all around the Motor and those parts, I got it pretty clean. It was starting to make a little rattling noise before I cleaned it, but afterward, it runs so nice and quiet, just like it did when I first bought it! 😍
*Bought this fan for the summer and so far it works great **Fastly.Cool** ! It's very quiet and not too loud, but also acts as a "white noise" when I go to sleep. No complaints from me!*
This is honestly a very good cleaning video of a fan. I see a lot of fans that are never cleaned out for years and they look disgusting and that fan is looking way better now than before.
After spending about 45 minutes trying to realign the screws in my fan after watching your video it was so simple thank you so much save me a lot of time and my fan is working perfectly. Great video. Appreciate it greatly.
Great Job! After a summer of non stop running at the bottom of my desk, yeah its time for a cleaning! Thanks for the how to on taking it apart and back together!
OMG ! I used Vaccum and then Blower to clean up; still messy sticky web and dust. You Tube Guru rescued me . Thanks for sharing. In fact for everything; it is good to check youtube and then start do it yourself. You are a good guy. Thanks once again.
Thanks! This is a public service. I'm lazy and just took off the front cover. I run the front cover in the shower, and the rest of it, a damp microfiber rag and a air compressor to clean out.
Thanks for this video I love my little fan and will not let it go, 4 years strong and I am just finding out how to clean. No more cotton swab cleaning that takes forever.
Thank you for this video! I was looking for a video to see how to clean mine like this one. I feel so stupid now. I kept fighting with it trying to get the 2 parts apart with no luck.😂
True…I don’t have the right skinny Philips to get it off-so no more Honeywell fans for me-it’s pretty much a rip off. My other fan has a front that just pops off to clean it.
@@robint-orton69 lol 1 year ago...I ended up just ripping the front off, and it's still going...kinda. I have to hand start it like an old plane engine.
Yep, my wife wanted me to toss hers and I wanted to try to fix it. The rear bearing needed reseating and lube. Good as new. Appreciate videos like this.
None of my Phillips screwdrivers has a shaft that is skinny enough and long enough to reach these screws, so I’m stuck using pipe cleaners to get the gunk off the fan blades and the vent grids. I looked for this video to see whether a regular person was actually able to reach these screws and, more importantly, get them back in through those deep wells. Even if I buy a long enough small Phillips, I’m afraid I won’t get the darn faceplate back on.
Love the fan but it’s the WORSE to clean. I’ve bought 3 of them because the clean up process gives me a headache, but we are going to try to clean it todah
Just needed a smooth blast of compressed air to do 80% of your work. The real thing lubing up the bushings you missed totally. Thats the most imp thing. Can be done easily with a long spout and SAE20 or 30 oil 2 drops.
why you had motor out you should of put a couple drops on front and Back( a little trickier) bearing felt area, just let it drip , a few times down shaft into bearing felt for rear ~Its critical to making these last a long time
Can you share the type of screw driver you used? I don’t have one that is narrow and long enough to fit so I have to buy one, but I can’t see down to see what screw head is needed and because of lockdown I can’t take it into the store to test. Thanks for the video, it’s amazing how challenging a simple task can be.
It’s a small Phillips, but I don’t have one with a shaft that is skinny enough and long enough to reach them, so I’m stuck using pipe cleaners to get the gunk off the fan blades and the vent grids.
OH MY! So, I pulled out only the blades and now the fan won't come on? I didn't unscrew any of the inner screws, the fan just slid out, but after cleaning and putting back together, it doesn't work, sad. WHY?
That's a tough one, I would try to take the rest out and pry it open a little to put some force on the screw and try unscrewing it. Thanks for watching kathleenbrennan3955.
I have the same exact fan,it was all dusted and furred up from my cats hairs.Mine was making a vibrating sound so I wanted to take off the fan blade but I don't know how to do it. Does anybody know how to take the blade off of this fan?
People who create these kinds of useful videos are heroes of humanity. Thank you for this.

Great explanation and demonstration. Your comments, as you proceeded, were VERY helpful. Thanks!
I have other fans that have pressure gripping devices for screen, it is so much simpler. Your video was very helpful. Thank you
Great Job! After a summer of non stop running at the bottom of my desk, yeah its time for a cleaning! Thanks for the how to on taking it apart and back together!
Just in case, anyone needs this information. The Honeywell HT-904 needs a Philips #1 screwdriver to remove the face plate.
Thank you so much. I have been looking for the information so long.
Thank you for sharing this!

I have 2 of these fans and a smaller one also and they’re the best fans I’ve ever had. Thanks for your video; it was very helpful!

TYSM 😊 I'd have never foud those tiny screws without your help I was about to throw it away lol Tnx for the time you took to make this vid 👍👍

Thanks so much!
These are clearly designed to be used and then throw away so you can spend money on a new one.

If you have the tools it’s good to learn how to make replaceable ones last- comes in handy w more expensive ones too
Very concise. Thank you very much. It now blows like new.
Awesome job, that's what I needed. Thank you and greetings from Houston, TX.
Isopropyl alcohol for cleaning around electricity the only thing to use actually because it evaporates it doesn't stay wet for long

Thanks for the video. What size of screwdriver fits the screws to take the outer grill off? Mike
Thank you! ❤
Your very welcome!!
I used to take it out in the sun and hose it down then let is sit outside in the sun and wind for a few hours. Worked like a charm.
Just needed a smooth blast of compressed air to do 80% of your work. The real thing lubing up the bushings you missed totally. Thats the most imp thing. Can be done easily with a long spout and SAE20 or 30 oil 2 drops.
I used rust check coat and protect.
Great video Can you do a ceiling fan replacement video?

El mío no enciende 😢
Hay manera de repararlo
I got it disassembled but how do I reassemble the motor?
Is it possible to remove the blades from the motor? Or did I miss that part?
Hello Sir, is there any specific screwdriver we need to use? Please let me know which screwdriver you used
He told another person he used to fill up screwdriver but none of mine are working
First question where do I find a screwdriver long enough. And two why is the video so long? I’m trying to get my fan to work again, it’s hot lol.
Thanks for watching, I had to go buy a screwdriver set that had attachments long enough so I could do it.

Laura Hill it was a Phillip's screwdriver that I used for this fan. Thank you for watching.
@@allthesense DUH! I have tried every screwdriver I own, I cannot get the screws loose.
@@ArmourProtected6-10 neither can I. Crap.
I can't get them out?
It’s a small Phillips, but I don’t have one with a shaft that is skinny enough and long enough to reach them, so I’m stuck using pipe cleaners to get the gunk off the fan blades and the vent grids.
OH MY! So, I pulled out only the blades and now the fan won't come on? I didn't unscrew any of the inner screws, the fan just slid out, but after cleaning and putting back together, it doesn't work, sad. WHY?
One of the screws for the face plate is stripped. Suggestions so I can remove it? Thanks!
That's a tough one, I would try to take the rest out and pry it open a little to put some force on the screw and try unscrewing it. Thanks for watching kathleenbrennan3955.
So unscrewed the stand from the entire fan, and managed to screw it back but it won’t do that “tik-tik-tik” sound when adjusting direction. Help!
I haven't had to completely rip apart one that articulates like that yet sorry. Thanks for watching cuthbertmagawa5485
🤩
💪😃👍
I can’t a thin screwdriver to fit the damn hole!
2 of the screws refused to pull out
I was a Canadian arm wrestling champion, no problem for me.
Seems silly you can’t remove the fan blade from the motor assembly
There is a flat plastic piece just around the spindle..it would break once youd start removing the blade. Not necessary actually to pull the blade out
My fan cover is too hard to take off; compressed air for me. Lol
I thought about compressing them but can't figure out which direction to blow them to where.
Impossible to open!! It should be easier. My screws are stripped.
Everything being plastic, I see stripped screws constantly. Thanks for watching ashleygonzalez.
Worst design ever....I can't even find a screwdriver to fit in the holes to take the grill off.....awful. they just want you to buy a new one, smh
😂😂😂😂how do you clean??? The best part you don’t show 🤦🤦🤦
Thanks for watching, I was trying to not make the video so long, but still peopke complained it was way too long lol, can't win.
