    We have a Honeywell QuietSet oscillating tower fan (HYF290E) that is normally kept in its box, but today I took it out :bigsmile: When I turned it on, as well as the normal "quiet" fan & air noise I can hear a regular thumping noise. Quite a soft noise but loud enough to be annoying. Maybe once or twice a second thump, regardless of whether the fan is oscillating or not. It does vary with fan speed though. The thump is at the lowest speed. At higher speeds there more of a hum, but at the highest speed and at one speed in the middle of the range the extra noise seems to disappear completely.

    Any thoughts what the problem is? I'll dismantle the fan after dinner and hope to resolve it then, but I hoped somebody might have a suggestion as to what it is. Entertaining or useful suggestions welcome!

    Hmm, I've been defeated so far. :cry: I tried to dismantle it but failed. I found some 'printed' instructions online but they were for an older version of the fan with different fastenings. I found a youtube video of some american dismantling what seems to be the same thing, but... To separate the fan from its base, he just unscrewed a large ring-shaped nut. And that reveals two hidden screws that must be undone to dismantle the fan. On mine, the ring-shaped nut has some kind of built in ratchet and can't be unscrewed after it has been done up initially. And I can't see the ratchet on the assembled unit. So I'm stumped!
