Why is my standing fan humming but not spinning?
Humming, accompanied by a failure of the blades to turn, is a classic symptom of a failed capacitor. To check, turn on the fan so that the humming sound is audible and try turning the blades manually. If they start turning after a good push, you need to replace the capacitor.
What is the problem with a fan that does not rotate unless rotated manually to start?
A fan rotates using electromagnets and thus require additional power to start rotating. As the capacitor is blown, the fan is not receiving this additional power to start its rotation. When you rotate the fan manually, you provide this additional energy.
How do you know if a box fan fuse is blown?
Remove the fuse from its holder. In some cases you may need a small screwdriver to unscrew the fuse holder cap. Look at the fuse wire. If there is a visible gap in the wire or a dark or metallic smear inside the glass then the fuse is blown and needs to be replaced.
