High Velocity Floor Fan Has A Funny Smell

One was by shut off valve and the other the other tenants had a gas dryer and never capped it off.

High velocity floor fan has a funny smell.

They came out and found 2 slight gas leaks. This certainly will help it to have a higher capacity. I ve done that and while the smell has certainly been reduced it s only been by about 40 50. It is one of the cheaper models but from reviews i have read online it still seems to be of decent quality the reviews i read failed to mention this smell though.

Please run your fan on high speed for 24 consecutive hours and the smell will disappear. I bought a new window fan honeywell hw628 by kaz and althought it works very well it emits a strange mechanical like odor. A high velocity fan rotates very quickly. It is up and running just fine and doesn t seem to be getting very warm however it is emitting a smell somewhat like oil or something of he sort.

The motor now due to shorted winding is working at lesser capacity and hence reduced speed. Since he did all that we have not had that funny smell now for over a week. Hi most probably the enameled copper winding has been damaged the coating must have burned off short circuiting part of the winding the burning smell. The smell is in no way harmful.

Well we do have central air conditioning but we still use low velocity fans overhead large paddle and simple and cheap traditional stationary fans sitting on the floor or on a dresser. However this does not guarantee that the fan is a high efficiency fan. We had a funny smell everytime the heater came on and when the a c came on also. Oil plastic smell from fan want to clean oil motor breathiness.

And gas was coming out of there. This may even help it operate at a higher efficiency. See reference 1 overcoming the mold. Just a few hours ago i hung up a new ceiling fan in my room.

35 what ever that means. The distributor says that it s because of the lubricant put into the fan motor and that it should dissipate if you keep it running for 24 48 hrs.
