Hi everyone, My bathroom fan started taking like 20 seconds to start turning, so I took it down. I removed all the dust and such and it started turning more easily, but the next day it slowed down again. I took it down again and put a bit of 3 in 1 oil at the bottom of the shaft where it goes into the motor. Worked better but the next day it slowed down again. Today I put more oil and let it sit on its back for about 15 minutes to let the oil go down the shaft a bit. I also used component cleaner on the shaft and also in the motor a bit where the parts move. I ran it for 90 minutes today on the counter and noticed that the motor is too hot to hold. I can hold it for one second, so its not scorching, but its a bit hot. I never checked the temperature before, so I am not sure if my application of the oil is the cause of the heat. Can adding oil to a ceiling fan motor cause it to become more hot? Should I be worried? I will try it tomorrow to see if it runs. If it runs I might keep it, depending on your opinions. If it does not work, I will likely replace it. Any guidance is appreciated!!

I have an existing ceiling fan controlled only by a pull chain. I added a light kit that is also controlled only by a pull chain. I wired white to white and black (from light) to blue (in fan). The light works fine, but only when the fan is running. How do I wire it so that I can use the light without the fan? Thanks!
