If your woozoo fan turns on, spins and appears to work but shuts down completely after a very short time (within minutes), then the problem may lie with the clock/timing circuitry. When the fan is first turned on, it defaults to an "always on" state. This is indicated by none of the three lights for 1, 2, or 4 hours being lit. If the fan stops shortly after powering on, try pressing one of the time mode buttons (1, 2 or 4 hours) then wait to see if the fan still stops moments later. If the fan continues to work (ie: does not shut down completely), then there is likely a problem with the "always on" circuitry. I have not dived into the circuitry of the unit that failed for me nor have I tried to reverse engineer it to create a rough schematic, therefore I can't specify exactly what the circuit is that may have an issue. Perhaps it's a 555-timer type of circuit that has an incorrect or missing resistor or capacitor for the "always on" state. The resistor/capacitor combination circuitry that sets the 1, 2 and 4 hour timing may not have a problem with those components, thus the fan will not shut off (until the normal prescribed time has passed). I am posting this information here for anyone who comes across this same issue with their fan. The diagnosis may also apply for fans that fault on the 1, 2, or 4 hour settings. Just avoid using that setting. At some point if I am ambitious and wish to further investigate, I may take apart my fan to access the circuit board to see if any parts in the timing circuit look damaged or missing. But for now, I just avoid the "always on" default state.

Very detailed, thanks for your input

You left out the most important part, HOW TO REMOVE THE BOTTOM?? Seems easy, like just pushing retention clips but is not

Hi, I am in India and the fan broke after plugging it directly without adapter and there is no service center for it anywhere in India what to do? What would be the reason

@houseman4906 29 күн бұрын

If it broke due to voltage difference, eg. 220v India but the fan is 110V. You may be able to search any burst of capacitors and change them. Next time you use it with adapter, that may work.

How did you manage to get the bottom off of the fan? I have the 4 retention clips beat but there's something else holding the bottom on - maybe the cord?

You can just skip the four retention clips. (They only attach the track the upper housing rotates on) After you take the center cover with a single screw you'll central metal tube the power cable goes through. The only part holding the bottom housing is this segmented ring sleeve/clip that wraps around the metal tube. You just need to pry/pull the two sides out of the notch in the metal tube it clips into. After that the whole bottom housing should be loose to pull out. In the end mine didn't have any obvious component failures and still turned off once it hit the end of the sideways motion even after greasing the track. Except now it sets off a nearby UPS when it shuts down so it's going to be returned instead of risking this shorting behavior.
