| Peter and others, when you get a fan that looks like it may have wiring problems, bare wires, shorted wires, or you just want to protect it from blowing itself up, place a light bulb in socket in series with the power cord. Bill Voigt taught me this and I don't have a good knowledge of what wattage to use for each size fan but probably 100 w. for 12" and 150 w. for 16". If there is a problem in the wiring, speed coil, etc, the bulb will glow brightly. If the fan is ok the bulb will get dimmer as the fan comes up to speed. Save your fan as well as the time to repair and find parts by a very simple and cheap method of using that light bulb. Let the bulb's filiment glow and not your fan's wiring which is what looks like happened to your fan.

that sounds like it would work but I think its to late for my case... I would shrink the picture but it would take away from the main focus of where the problem is.

| Does anyone know if that's a factory wound coil or has someone rewound it at a later date. Looks kind of messy for a factory job.
