Greg Calmly Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Hello everyone! Last night I ran my S-223 with a Westinghouse motor from 1976. When I tested the temperature in the morning it was alot higher than other fans. I hit 139 F running on low overnight. Now all my other fans average around 120 F (running on low) and my Vornado, which also has a Westinghouse motor that draws more power, only hit 124 F running on low overnight. I have used this fan alot, and yes, its oiled, varnished and cleaned. I know it might be okay but it doesnt make sense why its higher than the rest. Thanks!

Greg Calmly Posted June 2, 2023 Author Share Posted June 2, 2023 An update: In another post, I had a fan with sticky oil that became gunky and a member told me to run some marvel mystery oil through it. that fan seems better now, and with these positive results, I decided to try it on this S-223 and see what happens. The same procedure was performed as done with the other fan and I achieved negative results with the S-223. Now, even though I loaded this thing with zoomspout and cleaned and removed oils after the degreasing, the fan has a worse spindown. But a weird thing is the motor went from 139 to 129 today even when its hard to turn the shaft. Never in my years had I experienced the weirdest motor responses from a fan.
