How Can a Wind Fan Be Humming?
There are two possible causes.
First, the fan is totally worn out.
So you have to replace it with a new one.
You should change the front and back.
Secondly, the possibility of a fan motor with a stator (plate) is out of center because the front and rear motor housing is tight. So the motor mounts to the stator.
The solution is not just replacing the bearing, but replaces a set of casing (motor housing with bearing) front and rear.
