shaded pole maybe

rescued a fan and applied a small amount of tlc

but it has slowstartupitis

once it gets going it is fine and is quiet and moves air

it has little to no torque and is not designed to have much but at start
it seems to not have enough

maybe something is misaligned or some other problem


make your guesses


this is a cheap three speed fan but it looked new when i got it and it
had a loose wire so naturally it was discarded

Try adding a drop of glycerin to the armature bushings.
