[@trappernq4961]

thanks, replaced a fan motor in a 9 tray unit. Very easy thanks to this video.

You're welcome, I'm glad it helped.

Thank you! My replacement fan motor is scheduled for delivery today. I'm sure I'll be watching this video again, after I have that new motor, in hand.

You're welcome. I could not find much info and the new motor did not have instructions, so once I figured it out I thought it worthwhile to share with others. Hope it helps.

"Pry off the spring clip that holds the fan blade to the metal shaft." ...How, exactly?

[@NicolleMelanson.Powell]

I used a thin bladed small screw driver I believe.

thanks for making this! how did you know you needed to replace the fan motor and not something else? these are my dehydrator's current symptoms: the heating coils get super hot and glow orange. the fan doesn't really spin - it seemed like it was trying to, though. is this what happened to yours?

[@NicolleMelanson.Powell]

Yes, very similar.

Hello. What was the symptom that caused you to replace the fan? Was it noisy? Is it quieter now?

[@aimeewise9059]

where did you get the new fan motor?

I cannot recall - it was 5 years ago, but this website may have what you want: excaliburdehydrator.com/collections/replacement-parts
