how do you remove the front cover to clean the fan blades ?

I have never found a way to easily disassemble this unit in front. It was obviously made to keep the consumer out. Of course, not being able to properly clean the fan will shorten the life of the unit... gee, I wonder if Holmes thought of that... duh. Anyway, the best you can do is hold a vacuum cleaner hose up against the grill and suck out as much dirt as possible - which is what we do with them occasionally. Good luck with it.

you can only remove the back. you can remove the back to change the filter and wash the pre-filter.just making sure -- the front is the part that is grayish blue and the back is the part that is just plain gray. The front doesn't open as far as I know.

Take off the rear cover and filter. There are 4 or 6 phillips screws way down in the open holes. You cannot see the screws, because they are way down in the holes. When you totally loosen the screws with a phillips screwdriver, the front panel will come off. Hope this helps.

I honestly do not know. I use a Frebreeze feather-type cleaning cloth to remove the dust particles located on the front of the unit.

Remove the shaver head and then remove the 4 corner blades and the center blade. Wash everything, let it dry and put it back together. I usually brush it and then wash it. Just be careful that you have the parts aligned properly when you snap it back together. It is a bit of a pain so I don't necessarily do it with every use but if you don't do this the hair is accumulating inside the unit.

You have to take out the screw and pull it apart. You will also find your blades once you take it apart.

Hi Jose,I just started using the fan - so I haven't had any experience with taking it apart yet. The front grill is removable, but I haven't tried it yet.

There's a little tab in the upper corner that you pull up on. You slide it up and down several times to clean the wire coils. As for the main blades, they can be lifted out of the unit through the top opening. I usually use a large clean paintbrush to wipe the blades, then spray them off with my air compessor. Although you can also use a can of compressed air marketed for cleaning computer keyboards.

There is the hum of the motor...but not very loud. There are no blades to clean inside....you just need to wipe the base of the fan (where the filter is so the air intake is good) and the round part of the fan I dust off as needed. Very easy.

On the back side of the fan there are phillip head screws. Undo those and you should be able to get to the blades and motor.

Remove a plastic clip on each side in the back and it works like a charm. Squeeze them to remove them. Happy With cover

Gently push down on top blade and slide it out the side slot. Old blades go in slot on underside of pack.

It is just a plastic clip that is attached to the shaft of a screw holding the metal band around the fan cage. Pry off the clip with downward pressure and remove screw to clean.

On my fan, if the grille and.fan blades are facing up - turn it over and there's a panel that slides away for the battery compartment.

I had the exact same problem. I don't know why or how the fan cover cannot be removed. I'm guessing I should of emailed the company. Mine ended up breaking and I bought a different brand. Sorry

I used an air compressor with an air nozzle and sprayed it in the front across the fan blades or squirrel cage as I call it to clean it. One might could use a can of compressed air you can buy at walmart or staples and other places. Hope that helped!

Lift the blade holder. Until the shaft that holes the blade lines up with the holes on side of the case. Then using a small screwdriver push the shaft out

In most cases, vacuuming with a brush would be sufficient. But you could then use a damp rag on the grille and external parts. If you're really concerned about the fan blades being dirty, you can unscrew it and disassemble it. But that's pretty extreme, and you should be comfortable with reassembly.

We haven't done this, but there are screws on the back that look like you can take it apart. It is a terrific fan - quiety and powerful. After getting one for ourselves, we bought one for our daughter.

I had the same question and the company told me to wipe the outside. Dyson should have made this fan be able to open to expose the fan blades, yes this fan has blades inside and there is no way of cleaning them and you know it must get a buildup of dust which will slow the fan down
