Possible Causes

Dry or worn sleeve bearings in fan motor, Misaligned fan rubbing on shroud, Heat‑distorted fan blade

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug and allow to cool.

  • Access fan assembly: Remove the top cover to expose the fan and motor.
  • Check for rubbing: Inspect the clearance between fan blades and shroud. Adjust the fan position on the shaft if it is scraping.
  • Assess bearings: Spin the fan by hand. If it squeals or does not coast freely, the motor bearings are worn. Morphy Richards fan motors are typically sealed and not serviceable; replace the motor assembly.
  • Reassemble and test: Ensure all screws are tight and the fan guard is correctly positioned before testing.
