DIY – How to fix an air purifier fan motor. #1 – Don’t buy Oreck! Yall really better appreciate this. Besides costing me a lot of money, it took so much time to get the audio to work, then to line it up with the video.

I’ve had one of these since 2006. Besides cleaning the collector cell every few months, once a year you should disassemble the unit and soak the metal fan piece in soapy water–it collects so much dust that it becomes too heavy for the motor to spin it. I also wipe out the “blades” with wet Q-tips after the soak to ensure thoroughness.
Perhaps a quick read of “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance” is in order here.

I understand but a unit that cost in the hundreds and a year old might of been covered and fixed by Oreck or fixed and would of lasted a long time for years. Not destroyed that could been given to some that was sick and needed it. I could see if the unit was very old and then call it junk. Nice talking to you.

well thank you for you suggestions. sometimes i do like to fix things, but many people do enjoy my destruction videos. and this is the one that started it all. i purposely had the title, thumbnail, and the beginning of the clip lead people to believe i was going to fix it. of course by now, any of my subscribers know me better than to fall for that again.

No you didn’t have to fix it your right, but you could of put it away or on the side and gave it to someone who could of used it and had it fixed. All it could of been was the rubber grommet that mounts on the blower cage and attaches to the motor shaft they slip for $5.00 that would of probably solved your problem. Things break and so do Ionic Pros what are going to do when the electronic control board goes on that smash that too.

You could of replaced the bearings that support the squirrel cage blower and check the motor or the rubber motor shaft support that was very cheap to do that is very common why they are noisy and lock up. That would of solved your problem. Instead of massacring it with a hammer. That is only something that morons do. PS you can’t clean the air if you don’t move the air.
