Possible Reasons & Solutions

1. Continuous Usage

o Cause: Running for several hours without a break.

o Fix: Turn off the fan intermittently to allow it to cool. Most fans are designed to
run for long periods, but cheaper or older motors may overheat.

2. Poor Quality or Old Capacitor

o Cause: A failing capacitor puts stress on the motor.

o Fix: Replace the capacitor. This is a low-cost and common fix.

3. Dust Accumulation Inside Motor

o Cause: Dust can block airflow and insulate heat.

o Fix: Clean the fan’s motor housing and vents (safely, with power off).

4. Faulty Winding or Internal Motor Problem

o Cause: Winding insulation damage or shorted coil.

o Fix: Needs professional repair or motor replacement.

5. Loose Wiring or Poor Connection

o Cause: Loose terminals create resistance and heat.

o Fix: Have an electrician inspect and tighten the wiring.

6. Overloaded Voltage or Power Supply Issue

o Cause: High voltage or unstable current from your supply.

o Fix: Use a stabilizer or check supply voltage with an electrician.

7. Wrong or Poor Quality Regulator

o Cause: Local/dial regulators can waste energy as heat.

o Fix: Use an electronic regulator (step-type or remote control).

When to Call an Electrician:

• If fan casing is too hot to touch.

• If there’s a burning smell.

• If fan slows down, makes noise, or stops intermittently.
