Can’t help but laugh. Hihi sealed none lubricant bearing will normally outlast
lubricant bearings . Lubricant bearing is abuse with either to little or even
worst to much lubricant.
We ask a lot from that little muffin fan when it squeals it’s saying my
time is over, it’s been good but let me go!
You could change the bearing , but a new super quiet fan is $30 . A new
bearing , shipping will probably cost more than the bearing. Add a hour of
time to the repair . The new one looks like a bargain .
It’s raining here so I have some free time. Maybe I should order a bearing
for my muff fan and next time it starts to rain and I don’t have much to do I
can replace that bearing before it starts to squeal.
