Toshiba EFS 75 Stand fan: Fan motor hums/buzzes when turned on. Blades turn very slowly.

Toshiba EFS 75 Standing fan

My standing fan stopped working and whenever I turn it on I hear either humming or a loud buzzing noise and the blades turn very slowly. The blades spin by hand easily enough when the fan is off, so I'm sure there are no problems with mechanical friction or obstructions. However, as soon as I turn the fan on the blades suddenly get a lot of resistance to them. I even tried to get the blades spinning at a moderate speed before turning the fan on, but when I do the blades stop quickly as if the motor acts like a magnetic brake.

Looking online, the most common diagnosis to this problem was a faulty motor capacitor so I took that out and replaced it yet the same issue persists. Another solution I found is to check the leads on any sort of starting clutches but it appears that this particular motor is a simple, single capacitor motor.

Lasko Fan Model W09560: 20 in Box fan has secondary hum

Wed, 18 Jun 2025 13:51:44 -0700

Most fans have a secondary hum aside from the normal wooshing sound of the fan blades. What can be done to get rid of hum? Changing speed only makes it louder or subdued. This is not my exact Lasko fan These are the 20 in window kind. Before mentioning cleaning this is a problem with a brand new one I just took out of the box.

I thought it might be some small modification of the blades (?)

Pedestal Fan: Why is my fan struggling to turn on?

Mon, 09 Sep 2024 21:18:11 -0700

this is a samurai turbo silence compact 2 in 1, it used to work properly but after I got back from a trip it takes a while to start moving, it takes even longer if I start with it's lowest velocity. I start with 3 so it starts faster and then I move it to 1.

I think it might be the engine but I couldn't find a guide here on how to fix it, any idea?
