How to effortlessly do attic fan belt replacement
Start by disconnecting power to the fan by pulling the fuse or tripping the circuit breaker supplying its electrical power. If the fan has a power plug that is connected to the AC outlet you should pull the plug instead.
After doing this you should remove the screws surrounding the grille on the back side of the fan. To remove all the dirt and grime you should wipe the grill with a wet paper towel.
Once you’ve lubricated the hubs to your satisfaction, loop the new fan belts onto them and place the grille back on the fan. Also, pull the other end of the belt off the other hub and lift the belt out of the fan. If the belt is broken into two pieces, lift them out of the fan and dispose of them.
You should spray the inside of the fan with compressed air. You should also spray the hubs with bursts of lubricating spray. Once you’re satisfied with lubricating the hubs, loop the new fan belts onto them and place the grille back on the fan.
You should then restore power to the fan and check if it’s working well.
