[Big Player] Clean the fan blades.

September 4, 2024

It has been three and a half years since the car was licensed and traveled 87,000 kilometers. This afternoon, I had nothing to do, and suddenly wanted to check the condition of the fan blades, so I rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find some tools to go down and remove the fan.

Remove the glove box and see the air conditioning compartment. Below the air conditioning compartment is the blower.

Look down and go in and take a photo. See the blower.

There are 4 screws at the bottom that need to be removed, and the two on the inside require a short screwdriver to operate.

After screwing the screws, take out the blower.

There is also a wire connector here that needs to be unplugged to fully remove the blower.

The blower was removed and it looked like this, with the motor below and the fan blades above.

The front looks like this.

Take it home and find some tools to remove the fan leaves and clean them.

There is a latch here that needs to be pulled out.

Pull out the latch

Then pull out the fan leaves bit by bit

It’s flush with the screw and it’s about to come out.

Finally I pulled out the fan leaves and took them off.

The back of the fan leaves is very dirty.

The inside of the motor is also very dirty. Brush it with a brush to shake the dust inside.

After taking off the fan leaves, soak them in water for a few minutes, and then wash them again. Cleaning them still has an effect, and the contrast between the left and right sides is obvious. The left side has been cleaned, but the right side has not been cleaned yet.

Looking at it on the other hand, the contrast is obvious.

This fan leaf is curved and is difficult to clean with ordinary brushes. I stuffed a piece of cloth in the middle of the fan leaf and pulled it back and forth before cleaning it.
