Black+Decker Fan Not Spinning / Stalled Fan Motor

Dehumidifier makes a loud humming noise but little or no air movement

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Seized fan motor bearings, Obstructed fan blade, Failed fan capacitor (if used), Faulty fan motor winding

Safety: Unplug before touching the fan.

Steps:

Check for obstructions: Remove any objects blocking the fan.
Spin test: With power off, spin the fan blade by hand. If it is stiff or does not coast, the motor is likely failing.
Capacitor (if present): Some models use a small capacitor for the fan. If bulged or leaking, replace the fan motor capacitor with the same rating.
Replace fan motor: If the motor hums but does not start, replace the fan motor assembly.
