Just an observation on a failure more i haven't seen. The fan motors are pretty tuff haven't seen one fail yet.
Pictures show a motor i was going to salvage as i cannot determine its use.
Problem found was the permanent magnets have delaminated from the out motor case.
Real odd failure for sure.
If you ever have the fan assembly off it might pay to remove the three plastic screws that hold the fan blade on, an check yours.
If you get real curious remove the retainer clip on the shaft and pull the rotor out which exposes the brushes.
This maybe pretty hard as the magnets are real strong.
