Honeywell HT-900 Fan - Disassembly And Cleanout. This video will show you how to take apart your HT-900 fan, and do a deep clean to all the internal parts including the motor. Any fan can get disgusting inside, and should be cleaned out at least once a year, to make sure your fan isn't just pushing around dust and dirt you don't want spread through your house.

I've had this fan for like a year and for some reason, they hid the screws in just the right way where I could never figure out how to open it up. For a while I just assumed they sonically welded the plastic or something. I was considering just buying a new one, but I figured I'd look up the model number, and your video was the first result. Huge, huge thanks for covering my blind spot with this one 😅

[@allthesense]

Thanks for watching Amy_A, I'm glad the video helped

[@HuskyDog88]

@@allthesense I have a fan just like this and it's filthy as yuck! Now I can clean it with no problem. Thanks for the video. What screwdriver do you recommend for a job like this?

[@nirmalherath2168]

Exactly the same! Really appreciate the video.

[@denisepena2537]

After spending about 45 minutes trying to realign the screws in my fan after watching your video it was so simple thank you so much save me a lot of time and my fan is working perfectly. Great video. Appreciate it greatly.

[@dadoody]

Thanks! This is a public service. I'm lazy and just took off the front cover. I run the front cover in the shower, and the rest of it, a damp microfiber rag and a air compressor to clean out.

[@alanmartin2221]

Great explanation and demonstration. Your comments, as you proceeded, were VERY helpful. Thanks!

[@aheimdahl5201]

I just cleaned out one of these and have another one to clean. I didn't unscrew the Motor or anything like that but between some Cleaning Wipes, a Tongue Depressor (for cleaning through the Grillwork all over), Popsicle Stick (to get the tinier areas) and some Canned Air to get all around the Motor and those parts, I got it pretty clean. It was starting to make a little rattling noise before I cleaned it, but afterward, it runs so nice and quiet, just like it did when I first bought it! 😍

[@Connectitthefancollector]

This is honestly a very good cleaning video of a fan. I see a lot of fans that are never cleaned out for years and they look disgusting and that fan is looking way better now than before.

[@allthesense]

Thanks for watching, and for the great feedback.

[@nikidowney1003]

I have other fans that have pressure gripping devices for screen, it is so much simpler. Your video was very helpful. Thank you

[@Eagleknight815]

Great Job! After a summer of non stop running at the bottom of my desk, yeah its time for a cleaning! Thanks for the how to on taking it apart and back together!

[@sokodomo21]

Very helpful, thank you very much 😀

[@swaranmongia600]

OMG ! I used Vaccum and then Blower to clean up; still messy sticky web and dust. You Tube Guru rescued me . Thanks for sharing. In fact for everything; it is good to check youtube and then start do it yourself. You are a good guy. Thanks once again.

[@allthesense]

Thanks for watching, and I'm glad the video helped

[@timtonysmomreynolds9090]

I have 2 of these fans and a smaller one also and they’re the best fans I’ve ever had. Thanks for your video; it was very helpful!

[@jamilajohnson7460]

Thanks for this video I love my little fan and will not let it go, 4 years strong and I am just finding out how to clean. No more cotton swab cleaning that takes forever.

[@bulmaroquiroz4812]

TYSM 😊 I'd have never foud those tiny screws without your help I was about to throw it away lol Tnx for the time you took to make this vid 👍👍

[@allthesense]

Thanks for watching, and I'm glad it helped

[@cosmo5524]

Thank you. I appreciate your guidance.

[@SmidgetBC]

Thank you for this video! I was looking for a video to see how to clean mine like this one. I feel so stupid now. I kept fighting with it trying to get the 2 parts apart with no luck.😂

[@kaoken1981]

Very concise. Thank you very much. It now blows like new.

[@RUSSIAN_TEXAN]

Awesome job, that's what I needed. Thank you and greetings from Houston, TX.

[@AnekoFoxx]

Just in case, anyone needs this information. The Honeywell HT-904 needs a Philips #1 screwdriver to remove the face plate.

[@ng6334]

Thank you so much. I have been looking for the information so long.

[@NJ_1315]

Thank you for sharing this!

[@Countrygalaprilyoung]

Isopropyl alcohol for cleaning around electricity the only thing to use actually because it evaporates it doesn't stay wet for long

[@Fluvienne]

None of my Phillips screwdrivers has a shaft that is skinny enough and long enough to reach these screws, so I’m stuck using pipe cleaners to get the gunk off the fan blades and the vent grids. I looked for this video to see whether a regular person was actually able to reach these screws and, more importantly, get them back in through those deep wells. Even if I buy a long enough small Phillips, I’m afraid I won’t get the darn faceplate back on.

[@madamebaby]

If you have the tools it’s good to learn how to make replaceable ones last- comes in handy w more expensive ones too

[@mrclub777]

thanks bro!!

[@yourinternetfavt]

Love the fan but it’s the WORSE to clean. I’ve bought 3 of them because the clean up process gives me a headache, but we are going to try to clean it todah

[@smartbappa30]

Just needed a smooth blast of compressed air to do 80% of your work. The real thing lubing up the bushings you missed totally. Thats the most imp thing. Can be done easily with a long spout and SAE20 or 30 oil 2 drops.

[@parkerbohnn]

I used rust check coat and protect.

[@KindCreature1]

Thanks for the video. What size of screwdriver fits the screws to take the outer grill off? Mike

[@aaronguerrero4753]

Great video Can you do a ceiling fan replacement video?

[@kingdommusic5456]

why you had motor out you should of put a couple drops on front and Back( a little trickier) bearing felt area, just let it drip , a few times down shaft into bearing felt for rear ~Its critical to making these last a long time

[@jimizesperi1567]

El mío no enciende 😢 Hay manera de repararlo

[@jaysleezy5464]

These are clearly designed to be used and then throw away so you can spend money on a new one.

[@robint-orton69]

True…I don’t have the right skinny Philips to get it off-so no more Honeywell fans for me-it’s pretty much a rip off. My other fan has a front that just pops off to clean it.

[@jaysleezy5464]

@@robint-orton69 lol 1 year ago...I ended up just ripping the front off, and it's still going...kinda. I have to hand start it like an old plane engine.

[@WeirdMedicine]

Yep, my wife wanted me to toss hers and I wanted to try to fix it. The rear bearing needed reseating and lube. Good as new. Appreciate videos like this.

[@enriquevalencia3721]

*Bought this fan for the summer and so far it works great **Fastly.Cool** ! It's very quiet and not too loud, but also acts as a "white noise" when I go to sleep. No complaints from me!*

[@tabathapena5611]

Is it possible to remove the blades from the motor? Or did I miss that part?

[@Halenfan77]

First question where do I find a screwdriver long enough. And two why is the video so long? I’m trying to get my fan to work again, it’s hot lol.

[@allthesense]

Thanks for watching, I had to go buy a screwdriver set that had attachments long enough so I could do it.

[@vaniamontoya108]

🤩

[@deb1696]

OH MY! So, I pulled out only the blades and now the fan won't come on? I didn't unscrew any of the inner screws, the fan just slid out, but after cleaning and putting back together, it doesn't work, sad. WHY?

[@kathleenbrennan3955]

One of the screws for the face plate is stripped. Suggestions so I can remove it? Thanks!

[@allthesense]

That's a tough one, I would try to take the rest out and pry it open a little to put some force on the screw and try unscrewing it. Thanks for watching kathleenbrennan3955.

[@kaustubhathalye2469]

Hello Sir, is there any specific screwdriver we need to use? Please let me know which screwdriver you used

[@rachelleszakacs1377]

He told another person he used to fill up screwdriver but none of mine are working

[@cuthbertmagawa5485]

So unscrewed the stand from the entire fan, and managed to screw it back but it won’t do that “tik-tik-tik” sound when adjusting direction. Help!

[@allthesense]

I haven't had to completely rip apart one that articulates like that yet sorry. Thanks for watching cuthbertmagawa5485

[@abandonedbody]

Thank you! ❤

Your very welcome!!

[@laurahill3212]

Can you share the type of screw driver you used? I don’t have one that is narrow and long enough to fit so I have to buy one, but I can’t see down to see what screw head is needed and because of lockdown I can’t take it into the store to test. Thanks for the video, it’s amazing how challenging a simple task can be.

[@allthesense]

Laura Hill it was a Phillip's screwdriver that I used for this fan. Thank you for watching.

[@ArmourProtected6-10]

@@allthesense DUH! I have tried every screwdriver I own, I cannot get the screws loose.

[@angieagentlesoul]

[@barbaraunderwood9361]

I can't get them out?

[@Fluvienne]

It’s a small Phillips, but I don’t have one with a shaft that is skinny enough and long enough to reach them, so I’m stuck using pipe cleaners to get the gunk off the fan blades and the vent grids.

[@lillydavi4420]

I can’t a thin screwdriver to fit the damn hole!

[@applebsb75]

2 of the screws refused to pull out

[@parkerbohnn]

I was a Canadian arm wrestling champion, no problem for me.

[@CalgaryStampedersClassics]

Seems silly you can’t remove the fan blade from the motor assembly

[@smartbappa30]

There is a flat plastic piece just around the spindle..it would break once youd start removing the blade. Not necessary actually to pull the blade out

[@123drobi]

My fan cover is too hard to take off; compressed air for me. Lol

[@wendydann8180]

I thought about compressing them but can't figure out which direction to blow them to where.

[@harryape9059]

I used to take it out in the sun and hose it down then let is sit outside in the sun and wind for a few hours. Worked like a charm.

[@ashleygonzalez32171]

Impossible to open!! It should be easier. My screws are stripped.

Worst design ever....I can't even find a screwdriver to fit in the holes to take the grill off.....awful. they just want you to buy a new one, smh

[@bosox6554]

I have the same exact fan,it was all dusted and furred up from my cats hairs.Mine was making a vibrating sound so I wanted to take off the fan blade but I don't know how to do it. Does anybody know how to take the blade off of this fan?
