So what new part do I need??
Problem is I'm not real handy and my fan doesn't plug in anywhere like 90% of them. It has like the connector things on it almost like a usb plug but white.

good question, you need to take it apart to see whats realy going on. it could be something as simple as a two part seperated needing only glue to fix or something much orse. try looking up the scimatics for your fan and see what there site says about it. sorry i cant be more help.
you may find it best to buy a new one, but exhaust all avenues first. good luck

Onlyfans?
Yup mine has that exact plug, not the electrical cord... I wonder if I need the exact model number to replace the motor? Im guessing yes.
Haha... Funny when you see these local FB chicks with onlyfans accounts... I would love to know how much money they are making playing with there kitty.
My motor model number is 99080602 I found one of them, but my amps are .8 and this one on ebay is like .28 which doesn't make sense its the same model number... I'm seeing a lot of model numbers the same, but with an S in front of it. Wonder what that means?

Are you trying to make it louder? Try hitting it with a hammer.
A bit of oil or grease in/on the bearing would certainly help.
I get through a lot oscillating fans they usually cease up, sometimes I can open them oil the bearings and get another couple of months out of them.
You can pick up a quality 2nd hand fan from ebay/hydro shops for very little money bathroom fans aren't ideal.

The motors generally use bronze bushings which can get gummed-up over time. If you can get the armature out you can clean the shaft (if it's not too worn) and bushings with light oil like that used for sewing machines, then use a cotton swab soaked in light oil to re-impregnate the bushings with oil. Let it sit overnight, then use a clean dry swab to dry the bushings before putting everything back together. Don't use grease- it will gall the shaft and bushing in time

You can buy a similar fan then not use the housing just the guts
They tend to be pretty standard

I just went through this with my laundry room fan except it wouldn't run because it was so gummed up. I pulled the motor assembly out, disassembled it, cleaned everything, oiled it, replaced it, and it works like new. I was fortunate that the actual motor could be disassembled. Some are sealed up without screws to take them apart.
Good luck.
