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.
