I'm not a big fan .....

[Opener]

15+ year old boat / first owner fit out. I've got a combined light and extract fan in the bathroom - only I haven't 'cos the fan no longer rotates freely. The rotor+blades catches on the mounting/motor and I can't see a way of parting the two to remove the obstruction. So, I'm looking for a replacement fan/motor. Labelled MANROSE 12v Showerlite code BSL 112 (its a DC 12v 2.8w fan).

Looks like I may be able to get the complete assembly - fan+light+housing at great expense but the non-fan bits are fine. I'm told the fan is obsolete - shame 'cos it looks dead simple. Anybody got a spare bit/fan knocking around? Or any bright ideas?

If you can access the spindle under the sticker (sometimes a plastic or rubber bung over it) and add a few drops of lubricating oil, then spin it by hand a bit, that should free it up. Always worked with old PC fans anyway.

The company still exists and has what appears to be an active web site. Have you contacted them?

Ooooooooooh!! assumed that was moulded plastic - yes, its rubber. Will investigate that further although the 'catch' feels like it is between the circumference of the blade mounting rather than the spindle.

Yeah! - first port of call. Very helpful to the extent of saying 'no way, Jose'. Hey-ho!
