What if by some chance the cloth fan blade gets torn for any reason, is there a way to replace the cloth blades?

The cloth will not tear. I have one fan that is 8 years old, another just bought this year. Have given them as gifts too.

You'd have to contact Derwent for absolute verification but, since it's fundamental design is so poor, I doubt a replaceable blade is available. Like so many products these days, the consumer is unable to replace elementary parts because it's far more profitable for a company to maneuver one into repurchasing the entire unit.

Not that I know of. I haven't had my replacement blade crack any yet so it may have been something wrong with the hardening process they were using on the old blades which they fixed with the new ones. This is a total guess though. I can say though that I only hand wash my blade now so maybe that is a factor as well. The old one developed cracks pretty early and I've put this new one through a lot of use.

From what I've gathered the replacement parts are it. In some cases they're not easy to get a hold of either. The electronics store here in town that sells thousands of these things, in all makes and models, carries not one set of replacement blades. For a while after I bought my first apache s109, there weren't any replacement blades/kits for those, even at the manuf website they didn't exist. I think the ones less than 20$ are supposed to be disposable but I've invested in the replacement blades sets and they're worth it if they engines are still good. The biggest learning experience for me though was learning that some models/makes SUCK right out of the box and its a total loss:(

You probably have two options. One is to see if there was a parts list included in the packaging. If so, you may be able to order a new one. And, sorry to say, the other option as a last resort would be to buy a new fan. I am going to assume though that there is a parts list. Good luck!

I have heard there are replacement blades available, but have yet to find any.

The Item glass globe was broken when it arrived. So I had to return the Fan. I am sure you can spray paint the blades to a different color. Since the blades coming in unattached. Or they could be removed with a couple screws.

To remove the old blade and install the new blade you must loosen a set screw which comes with the new fan. Very easy install. Not sure about your number.

So far as I can tell, the fan is not replaceable. However, I haven't tried to replace it, as the noise is barely perceptible to me. Airflow as well seems to be fine.

that really depends on just how it might have broken. if it simply " died", you might have a serious short in which it isnt repairable at all ( most likely given the design ). i do have this, have it on my old xbox, so i havent had an issue with it. if possible to open it up, you might have a short in a wire leading into the unit, or from the power source inlet leading to the fans. without having tried to repair, i can only guess. being three fans, if it all died, i would think that a wire coming from the power inlet into the unit is at fault. sorry, hard to diagnose without actually working on the unit, maybe someone else can help more.

Good Day! I haven't replaced the blades, but try ULINE as they have many supplies or may lead you to the right vendor. Good Luck! ~V~

You have to carefully, but with enough force pull the old one off. I had to support the motor with one hand while pulling very hard on the base of old fan. Because the old fan was somewhat brittle some blades did get broken. To install the new blade I found that it was a very tight fit. I used a drill bit (the same size as the shaft in the motor) to open "just the end" to get the end to start then used a lot of force to squeeze it on. I think if you had a clamp with enough clearance over the blades you could possibly install it easier. I'm not sure what fan model mine is or what model it will fit. Hope this helps, good luck.

Yes the blade can be easily replaced. Go to Fiskars website to order a replacement blade.

On a previous Hunter fan we owned, our son broke our glass bowl with a broomstick. We call Hunters customer service number found on their website and we were able to purchase the exact glass bowl to replace it. When calling Hunter be prepared to have the model number of your fan which is located on the top of the fan motor housing. Good luck!

You can fix the fan yourself. This user posted a video showing how to do it:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjRDjOL8nCYMy penguin model started to develop a whirr, so I followed the instructions in the video and it's now back to quiet. If your fan is totally dead and you're out of warranty, it's easy to replace. It's just a standard 2-pin 80 mm computer fan. They run about $5 on eBay. Unscrew four to six screws on the bottom of the basin, lift off the top or bottom section, unscrew four screws holding the fan, disconnect the fan connector (it's not soldered, just attaches to a pair of pins on the control board,) plug in the new fan and replace the screws. Seriously, a monkey could do it. You can fix the fan yourself.

It does not appear that you can change the fan if it goes out. But, since the fan is the largest part, it would be price prohibitive to replace it.
