<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 325407, member: 6444&quot;]Old fans are pretty simple I&#039;ve fixed a few. Wires go to switch and ground, then wire goes from switch and ground to brushes and to the electromagnet that makes it turn. If it worked before you took it apart, but now it doesn&#039;t, but it does hum, then it is either binding like lloyd said, or it is a problem with the brushes. Unplug it and try turning by hand - if it doesn&#039;t spin freely (it should keep going for at least a few turns) then lloyd is right and likely screwed up when putting together and it is now binding. If it spins freely but nudging it by hand when plugged in doesn&#039;t work (use a stick), then likely the brushes aren&#039;t making good contact.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
