Tim Babcock Posted June 30, 2023 Posted June 30, 2023 The Vidrio fan I just bought I took apart and cleaned it and sprayed the windings with red insulating varnish. as soon as I fire the fan up it starts to smell and then smoke. The windings are hot. I did not let it run long. I found the issue. the windings were crushed a bit because they were loose and moved to the side and the rotor caught the edge. How hard is it to rewind the one side? Quote
Tim Babcock Posted June 30, 2023 Author Posted June 30, 2023 I think I saved it, I took a plastic pick and worked the wires up where they were crushed one by one. Added some red varnish and its running no heating and no smoking. I may have dodged a bullet. Quote
