I fixed the bathroom ventilator

I didn’t want to go to the hardware store so i tried to fix the fan myself. I got it working again so now my wife will be very pleased.

That’s great! Wanna tell how you fixed it?

First i took the complete unit from the ceiing, dissasembled and cleaned all parts. Put them back together and re-centred the spool and the rotors.
After that i mounted it back to the ceiling and it works like new again. No more noise and not getting stuck anymore.

It ain’t broken until it’s cleaned, lubed, and broken

That does NOT apply to arms and legs!
