James Byerly Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Purchased western electric 7901 fan several months ago changed brushes , oil wicks and oscillator grease . It runs real quiet and smooth. However the base of the fan gets very hot after several minutes of running . I assume it’s the resistor coil in the base that’s getting hot . It runs fine on fast speed . Is there an aftermarket coil that I can use to replace it, that doesn’t get so hot ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Lindsey Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 It should run cool on high, warm on medium and hot on low. That is normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
