BLADE MISALIGNMENT

One of the major problems of standing fan

 is blade misalignment. In most cases; it does not mean that the blade was not aligned properly in eccentric position rather it is a common problem that usually occurs between the fan blade and the blade guard. Sometimes the blade guard usually got hit by the rotating blade thereby causing unpleasant noise and if such persists it may lead to further damage to the fan. The only possible way to ratify it is to lose the blade guard and re-align it with the fan blade. After the re-alignment one can know if the problem has stopped by manually rotating the fan blade at a low speed to ensure it does not hit any part of the blade guard.

PRESSED BLADE GUARD

Another cause of jamming of the blade and its guard can be as a result of the blade guard being deformed by external forces. No matter how little or minor the deformation may be, it has the capacity of changing the manufacturer’s alignment

, hence the defect will cause the rotating blade to keep on hitting one area of the fan guard. The best way to avoid this problem is to ensure that the standing fan

 does not fall on the ground since it can deform its guard. For the already deformed guard, one can locate the deformed area by simply rotating the blade with hand and identifying where the blade is hitting the guard and adjust it.

DAMAGED SCREWS/THREADS

having its guard falling off or other fixed joints of the fan falling off, this problem can simply be as a result of damaged screw or threads used in fixing the parts. When such is the case, the joint may be joined together again using force fitting.
