Can this be disassembled to lubricate the fans

No, or at least I would not recommend it. I did take a can of silicon lubricant and spray it on the fans. Now it seems that the sound is quieter and more like fans than the previous sound that was marginally annoying at times.

My fan started "clicking" and I could not get it to stop. I didn't try disassembling and lubricating but Targus replaced under warranty.

I have no clue - fans have never needed any attention. I spray them every once in awhile with the clean air in a can.

Unknown, however, if you use a air compressor with at least 100 psi, you can blow most of the dust off. Works great for laptops too. If you blow a lot of dust out of fan, try a little wd 40 spray. Probably won't hurt. I am still using mine, but need a lap pillow because of rough edges. The usb ports come in handy sometimes. Somedays it starts up loud, but that usually subsides. Happy New Year.

I'm sure you can. Just replace the given ones with concrete screws that are thick enough to hold the fan's weight. It is a really great fan...very powerful. Good luck!

Yes, there are screws on the backside of the fan that you can unscrew and open.

I don't believe the motor will run without the proper assembly of parts. There's a fail-safe switch that's closed when the plastic lid is engaged.

Yes, assembly is required. No tools are necessary. If you are good at following directions, it would not be too difficult. The hardest part for me was clipping the two fan guards together because it required finger strength. I love the fan.

Yes, the motor and fan wheel are connected and can easily be removed from below the unit (take the plastic light lens off to access the motor & fan wheel) --no special wiring skills needed either--just unplug the old unit and plug in the new one.

I have had a few of these fans but have never had the need to lubricate. I can't imagine lubricating could hurt.

don't bye that fan its nasty. but if you have you just needa screw driver. Just the legs need to be put on. I hate this fan it was expensive and never worked as well as an older model I have.

Hi these items are RTA (Ready to Assemble) and flat packed so disassemble could be a little difficult but it can be done

The fans are screw mounted, so should be replaceable. To replace may require splicing of 2 power wires into 1 or use of an adapter cable.

No, you can not disassemble the fan to clean easily. That is, you'll have to unscrew six screws in back of the fan, and that only allows you to clean the back of the fan. Unfortunately, you'll need to dust clean your fan daily, to avoid any clutter. Other than that, the fan works great.

I tried to remove the grill of my small three-speed fan. There are two screws that can only be turned with a special screwdriver (9 or 10 dollars) I have cat hair stuck to the oiled parts of the motor. I will give the pressurized water method of cleaning a try. Trying to pluck it out with long craft tweezers hasn't worked for me.

No simple way. There are 8 screws that would appear to separate the two halves of the cover. I've never removed them. The instruction leaflet that comes with the fan states: The fan grills not supposed to be disassembled by user (exact wording, including incorrect grammar). Recommend to use a small paint brush and vacuum to clean the fan blades.

I have not checked to find out if this can done. But, from what I can see disassembly would be difficult or nearly impossible without damage to the case. You should check with VIZIO if this can be done.

Yes, it will absolutely work. It is very difficult to loosen the fan nut without these tools.

I believe you should be able to. All I needed to do was unplug the fan and remove one screw and the fan/wheel unit was removed. A real easy procedure.

I don't think so. I just squeeze these two clamp type objects and it holds it on the fan after you let it go.
