Cleaning out the inside of the fan
I inquired about the procedure for cleaning out the inside of my tower fan, and after looking on their site it was stated that it was not necessary to get to the inside. Just a brush and a blast with some air was all it needed, the site also mentioned that if it was seen that the unit had been taken apart it voided the warranty. Well I decided that it was already out of warranty and after looking inside the fan with a flashlight I saw mounds of dirt just packed in there tight that wasn't coming out with just air, a leaf blower wouldn't even move it. I laid it face down on a bench in my workshop and attempted to remove all of the screws on the back, 8 of them were philips head screws and the other 4 were tamper proof screws. 2 were a triangle head and the other 2 were a slotted head with a stud in the center to prevent a regular screwdriver being used. I did after googling these screw heads find them on Amazon which I had to buy two sets of screwdrivers to get these 4 screws out and they put them in the deepest most inaccessible holes in the back cover. I finally got it taken apart and there was dirt packed in there like I have never seen, around the motor, the fan and the inside covers. I may add that this is after a monthly blowing out and brushing the vents out front and rear for over 5 years. No pets in the house, no kids, just my wife and I. I did take pictures of the fan when I got it apart and I also oiled the fan shaft bearing. Now I have the cleanest and quietest fan in town. I think that this rotten company Lasko does this purposely to prevent the average guy cleaning it, just have them go out to buy a new one. I will keep these tools as I have another Lasko fan that I will need to do the same job this weekend. I would never buy another one of their products again.
