If you turn it off, it will cool down and seize.

I just take it appart… clean the electrical contacts and oil the motor spindel with 3 and 1 oil. I have yet to figure out which capacitors that will work with these box fans when they overload and die. If you catch it before they poop out you can keep em going forever. Like a marine cleans their rifle I clean my fans. I can do it in like 10 minutes. Zip zip blam fan

Both a welcoming invitation and savage burn at the same time. Love that community.
