Malcolm MacGregor Posted August 30, 2024 Posted August 30, 2024 I picked this up and I have 2 concerns. First is the blade is the wrong blade and measures 4.5” in diameter. My second concern is the fan rotates CCW. It is AC/DC motor. It runs fine, but I am wondering if all Type D fans rotate CCW or has someone messed up the wiring. The brushes are worn, and it smells like an old electric railroad engine. I appreciate all replies 👌 Quote
Dave McManaman Posted August 30, 2024 Posted August 30, 2024 (edited) Blades should turn clockwise. Perhaps reversed the stator to accommodate the substitute? Edited August 30, 2024 by Dave McManaman Quote
