How to Identify and Fix Common Vacuum Problems ?
Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced Vacuum Technicians :
Spray compressed air into the fan blade, and use a dust brush or a microfiber duster to clean off the blades. Then, use a hose attachment to pick up the loose dust from the fan blade.
Some tower fans, like those made by Lasko and Vornado, are not designed to be opened for cleaning, and doing so may void the warranty. Before you begin cleaning, it`s important to determine whether your fan`s make and model is designed to be opened.
Make sure the fan is unplugged and clean the blades and inner workings with a hair dryer or a can of compressed air. If the grilles can be removed, hose them down or put them under the shower two or three times a year; scrub with a brush to remove dirt.
Use a dry dusting cloth to carefully remove any remaining dust from the blades and other internal components. For more stubborn dirt, try using a damp cloth to clean. After that, simply replace the cover, and your fan is clean and ready.
But to get the most from your fan, you have to keep it clean. Dirty fan blades don`t move air as efficiently, so clean all household fans at least once each cooling season. A ceiling fan that`s covered with dust or pollen might also fling the offending particles around the room as it`s whirring away.
Make a DIY ice water fan.
Simply stick a bowl of ice water in front of your fan to help circulate the cooler air. If you don`t have ice cubes on hand, you can add other frozen items, like frozen bags of vegetables, to your bowl in a pinch.
Don`t leave your fan running overnight or while you are out of the house. Once you`ve had your electric fan for a few years, think about replacing it as older motors can overheat. Don`t balance the fan on the edge of the counter, or anywhere that it could fall off.
“Dust and subsequent dust mites accumulate on ceiling fan blades whether the unit is in use or not. When a dirty ceiling fan runs, dust and dust mites can spread throughout the room, especially onto surfaces such as carpets and bedding. These effects can be detrimental, especially if you are allergic to dust mites.”
Clean the build-up of dust on your PC fans by using compressed air or an electric vacuum, but be careful of breaking the delicate blades. Hold the blade of the fan with your finger while using the compressed air. To make sure you remove all the dust, use a cotton swab with rubbing alcohol to wipe the blades clean.
Dust can clog your fans, vents, and heatsinks, reducing the airflow and cooling capacity of your system. This can lead to overheating, performance issues, and even hardware damage.
Fluid Dynamics: Airflow and fluid dynamics are major reasons for dust build-up on your ceiling fan blades. While the blades move through the air continuously, the air on the blade directly above it remains static. With inactive air above the fan blades, it allows dust to stick to the blades and remain there.
Hang wet towels near your fan
The expert suggests hanging the wet towels near your fan, where the water will evaporate and help to draw heat away from the air. `It is worth noting that fans do not actually lower the temperature of the air, but they can make it feel cooler by creating a wind chill effect.
If your desktop or laptop fans are still running loud after you`ve cleaned them, they may simply be overworked. Software issues may also be responsible for making your computer fans so loud — either something`s not working as it should, or your hardware isn`t powerful enough to run the software you`re using.
Use a bucket of ice
According to the GHI, placing a bucket of ice in front of a fan as a homemade AC unit is just as effective. `As the air passes over the ice it will be chilled and will circulate refreshingly cold air around the room,` they explain.
Simply place a fan near the window and then another, facing outwards, near an open door. This will create more air circulation and boost the cooling effect.
Tower fans can include a lot of smart features because of the way they work. They suck in air from the room and blow it around a long internal system before they exhaust it out into the room. This increases the air pressure inside the fan so that it blows with more force, improving circulation in larger rooms.
As long as your fan is clean, sleeping with it on generally does not cause serious health problems. But fans circulate air that may dry your nose and throat and trigger other uncomfortable symptoms. Keeping your home clean and free of dust is one of many ways to help prevent those issues.
Do Fans Use a Lot of Electricity? Running a fan takes a lot less electricity than running an air conditioner; ceiling fans average at about 15-90 watts of energy used, and tower fans use about 100 watts.
The best tool to clean ceiling fans safely and easily is the Unger® Ceiling Fan Duster. It features a patented c-shape that curves around the ceiling fan blade to clean both the bottom and top at the same time. This duster cleans all sizes of ceiling fan blades, even wide decorative fan blades.
A fan`s housing will get warm after prolonged use due to the fan`s motor generating heat when converting electricity into movement. This heat is why many people think it is unsafe to leave fans running; however, it is normal and will dissipate from the fan`s housing and not exceed a safe limit.
Originally Answered: Why a fan rotates slower when dust accumulates on it ? Short answer – Dust adds mass to the fan, which slows it down.
While an air cooler is more effective in terms of cooling, whether you opt for one will come down to your budget and your needs. If your budget is small, and you don`t mind the cooling focus being fixed, or in rotation range, a fan is your best bet. If you have a bit more to spend, an air cooler may be the way to go.
Tower fans often have lower power consumption compared to bladed fans but tend to be less effective at moving air, so you may need to have them on a higher setting.

I cleaned out my brush in the bottom front, cleaned out the small tubing going into the canister, and the canister itself. I also changed the filter.I snapped everything back into place, but Since then, it doesn’t seem to have any suction and there seems to be a space between the canister and the bottom of the vacumm where the canister sits. At that area, you can feel air coming out when trying to vacumm and it just doesn’t pick up, it seems to be just blowing stuff around.
ANSWER : You need to really look at it some thing is out of line you shooed not have
.any spaces in the top or bottom
.pull the canister back out and look at the pins that you lined up with the
.top and the canister you might have missed arrows that need to be lined

Filter I bought this Hoover a few years ago– just now about to use it first time. I cannot find my user’s manual and don’t know how to change the filter– or to clean it or whatever I am supposed to do with it. Also, there is a handle on one side of the unit that seems to be attached to an empty chamber or canister kind of thing. It looks like it should pull out, but it does not budge. I really would like to have a manual, but can’t seem to find one. Is there a similar model that is still
ANSWER : This is not for the exact same model, but should help you out:

Hello, I just bought a Bissell Powergroom (model 92L3-W) vacuum and a Bissell Proheat Pet (model 8910-3) deep cleaner and I love them both. My problem is, when we unpacked them we somehow lost the manuals; I think I had too many helpers that night – they may have gone out to the trash with the boxes. I need replacement manuals if you would be so kind as to help me out. Could you email me a manual for each of these two machines, or tell me exactly where to find them online? I’ve been looking, but

Can’t find info for hoover steam vac spin scrub model # F5905900 on Hoover website, doesn’t show that model number at all…looking for mesh (kind of cone/cylinder shape) that goes in dirty water tank (I think) and also the tool (wand) that slides into front to clean it out. It doesn’t pull all the water up very well and the filter has been missing for some time. I don’t know if that has anything to do with it or not. As far as the wand tool goes, I have taken the cover off at this point and
ANSWER : The cleanout tool is part # 43514001. The filter is # 90001398. Be sure to leave a 1/2 inch gap between the top of the filter and the bottom of the lid. If you need a manual, try model F5914-900 0r F5912-900 on Hoover.com

This is crazy, as I’ve installed about a hundred ceiling fans in my day, but……what is the function of the 3rd pull chain on the Hampton Bay I just installed?
It isn’t the directional control as the fan has the traditional switch for this.
The only thing I can figure is it’s a means to control the fan and light with one pull chain. The generic instruction book doesn’t address it.

It’s been awhile since I have used my shampoo system on my Ultimate G series Kirby. Well, as instructed I took it apart and cleaned it. Now I can?t figure out where to put the ?screen cap? and ?sponge filter?. I have my manual in front of me and the only place it shows the filter and sponge (page 35 in the manual) is when it?s been taken apart to clean. It doesn?t show where to put it back. I don?t know what I would do without all the pictures in the Kirby manual. HELP! Thanx. Visual Kirby Vacuu

I have a remote Hunter Ceiling Fan w/ remote 1-2-3 fan speed buttons and one on/off/dimmer light button. Model Number CP-9110R. It only has one pull string and it is for the light. I would like convert the light to work off of a simple wall on/off switch and the fan to be controlled by a 3-speed pull string. Can I by-pass all the sensors and make it work?
ANSWER : I see noone has answered so I will.Yes,it could be done,but if there is not a conversion kit for your fan,it would not be wise to do it.For starters,all of the things required would probably cost at least $15.Also,there is at least one tool you would most likely need,probably do not already have,and would easily double that.Electrical considerations would be proper wire guage(thickness),rewiring,attaching to a switch which is in place solid.Also,with the fan so close to the ceiling there is a bad fire hazard.
.Depending on how nice of a fan you would like,it probably costs between $50-$100.It would save you time,headaches,and uncertainty of fire starting.If the fan is on when noone is home,that would be a worrisome situation.Your house would be almost engulfed before anyone noticed and it would be too late to save anything.Also,if you do not want to keep your current fan,you could take it down and sell it and put the money towards a new one.You may not like my answer,but I have years of training and simply like to inform and educate people who are looking for answers.Whether I can help them or not,I tell them what to do and why.Greg
