I had the same thing happen to me actually. I just had to oil it with WD40 and then start spinning it manually before it started spinning itself again. It took a few tries but it eventually started again.

remind me to slap you next time I see you

throw that can of WD40 out... no good can come of that.. I have some good spray that actually lubricates call me when you have to do it again.

I just started squeeking again this morning actually.

I was just doing some reading about this over on Reeffrontiers. They suggest using some sort of oil rather than WD40 as it will just evaporate.

Heres the link

I kinda thought that myself but the high pitch squealing was too much to take so I just did a quick fix with WD40. That was about 4 months ago, maybe more, and I haven't heard anything since until today.

Just an FYI, a new fan/motor is $45 + s/h

That's not too bad. Can you get one in town or do you have to order it?

WD40 has no lubracation properties in it, it was originaly designed to displace water and dry parts. I have a silicone lube you can borrow, just stop by and grab it.
