      Spraying/injecting WD40 into bearings is bad advice.

      Has WD40 formulation changed?
      WD40 was originally formulated to remove rust.
      If ur bearings needs to be lubricated, wat u need to inject is lubrication, definitely not a rust remover (WD40 consists mostly of petroleum solvent) which will also remove/contaminate whatever lubricant which is in d bearings.

      If d fan motor bearing is worn out n causing excessive noise, adding lubrication is only a temporary solution. Some bearings hv solid lubrication - u cannot top up lubrication for those.

            Hubby said the similar things! He said just leave it (the fan), activate the aircon if need be And we would change the fan one day....(when the fan retires).

                  Can I just switch those point to the appliances or I need to off the main de?

                    Doesn’t make any difference.


                    Can just off the individual switch at the sockets of the extension. Of coz, if you off the main plug, you cut off all the sockets at once.

                      Maybe motor dying soon. My previous fan also slower by the minute and finally boomz... Not working. But hot is good, time for second baby don't u think?
