One reviewer states that the fan stopped oscillating after 3 months. Has anyone had the same problem?Wouldn't that problem warrant a replacement?

My fan doesn't oscillate, it blows in a single direction I can only direct it up or down before picking it up and repositioning

I have had my fan for four months and have not had any problem with the oscillation function. I do think that the manufacturer should stand behind their product.

I've had my phone for just over three months. So far I haven't had any problems.

I've had my fan for almost a year even though I don't use it every day I have no problems whatsoever

I have not had any problems with the fan oscillating. I would think it would be a good reason for replacement, maybe take it back where you got it. The only thing I think is it should have a medium setting.

I've had no problems as of yet with the fan. Hopefully things continue that way.

I've had mine for about 6 months or so and it's quiet and seems to do the job well. I think the only time I hear it is when it is dead-quiet in the room. I have the 2-fan version.

The oscillating switch is on top of the motor as a pull out, push in standard type. Contrary to the other poster, the fan has lasted three years of over 15 hour per day usage. I hear the bearings, but it still starts and runs without issue. I guess it is time for a tear down and Lube... I highly recommend this fan for performance and longevity. My only reserve is that the low setting outputs a considerable volume of air and noticeable volume which can be mitigated with the breeze function.

I've used mine full power for nearly a year now, and there is some signs of oil build-up on the cover. the real issue is the fan bearings failing. actually, the real issue is getting a fully-functional product back from MSI on an RMA. I'm on my 3rd attempt at it, and it all started with a minor inconvenience of the fans not starting, they needed a push to start.

Warranty is through Amana but the fan is junk had two both time the fan stop rotation. After much run around they replace the first on 2nd died 4 months later. Good luck

Find the oscillating switch on the back near the cord. We prefer that it NOT oscillate as we love to just aim the fan. It is a great fan and we own two.

Mine works well, fans are very loud. They sent me replacements haven't installed yet...

I had mine running full tilt for probably a year without issue. Sure, at max speed there's the a little noise from the air moving but it was fine. After about a year, and it probably didn't like being on the max setting that long, I got a little buzzing here and there. Usually a gentle "bump" to the case stopped it. After about 2 months of this, I "bumped" it and the fan blade popped off the motor and fell inside the case. Granted, that was a MUCH more forceful bump, so I don't know if I was a little to rough, or if the assembly, motor, and/or bearings had finally reached their limit. For the time I had it and the price, I'd say it was a good investment. Any other Antec LED fans I've bought are still running like a champ!!

It doesn't oscillate in the normal manner in which the fan moves itself....what happens with this one is the front louvered panel rotates in a circle which causes the air to move in different directions. Sounds strange but it works great. I own 3 of these. And you control the movement at the touch of a button. It can blow straight or "oscillate" so to speak.

Sometimes this problem can be fixed by switching two blades opposite each other. My fan only makes a slight humming sound on low speed which is normal and does not wobble. The only other suggestion I have for you is to make sure all the screws are tight. If they are not, this could be the solution to your problem.Hope this helps!

I've had two that failed to oscillate and they were replaced by Lasko and Amazon. The two I have now are working well. One is a bit noisier than the other. They both oscillate about 75 degrees. Hope this answers your question.

Your best bet would be not to waste your time trying to repair it; replace it. I had nothing but trouble with this unit. Samsung and I sent it back and forth about a half dozen times, in and out of warranty. They always claimed it was fixed; it wasn't. The fan finally conked out on it and capacitors exploded, arced, and flamed. We're lucky the thing didn't start a major fire. Do yourself a huge favor and junk it.

Yes, I have the same problem. I have learned to work around it. I make sure that I turn the main switch off, when I am not using the fan. I will check the channel switch, as suggested by other users. It is a very good fan, I would not replace it.

It was quiet until this morning when it became quite loud. Called customer service. Nice lady suggested cleaning it, vaccuming fan. Tried it and did not work. Only option is to send it to California for repair. Will take weeks. Not too happy. Only got three months use out of it (and it did not cool below 55).

I dont know, but I had their fans fail twice and had to fight with them over their warranty,which stated three years when I purchased it but was changed after I bought it. So far the third one sent me is still working and I am keeping my fingers crossed. I paid approx $200 for this fan and I feel it is way over priced.

We have had no problems with our fan and so don't know how to answer this question. It is working beautifully and we enjoy it.

Sorry I cannot help you there. When I bought mine I am not sure if the fan was defective but when I turned it on it bearly, I mean bearly blew any heat, so I sent it back to Amazon and did not get a new one.
