Introduction

We will provide a step-by-step manual to disassemble the fan heater down to the motor by unscrewing the housing and the parts inside the housing, taking the parts apart, cutting the wire, connecting the new wire and engine to the old wire and assembling the whole thing back together.

Minimal tools are needed to do so. We used Pozidrive screwdrivers (1x75), a small pick, pliers, stripping pliers, heat shrink sleeves, a lighter and some lubricant to disassemble the product and replace the motor.

What you need

Step 1

              electro motor  (yj58-12a1)

Unplug the power cord.
Flip the device over so the bottom is revealed.
Unscrew the nine screws (3x12mm) using a Phillips (1x75) screwdriver to open up the housing of the fan heater.
Don’t worry if the white rubber support feet fall out when taking the two housing halves apart.

Step 2

Unscrew the two screws (3x40mm) on either side of the blades using a Phillips (1x75) screwdriver.
Be careful not to loose the metal rings surrounding the screw thread.
Take off the blades by gently pulling up the middle.
The two engine parts are now revealed: a slightly blue part attached to the blades and another part that is attached to the housing of the fan.

Step 3

Remove the blades from the axle which is part of the electromotor.
When removing the axel bridge of the upper part of the motor, make sure you store both the felt and plastic ring carefully. These will be needed for reassembly.
