Is there anywhere that rebuilds the motors for these? If I could get it fixed I’d just keep it.

All you need to do is oil the bearings.. motor is still good

You may be able to find a motor repair shop in your area that would change out the bearings.. The cost of the work would definitely be worth it compared to purchasing a new fan..

I’ll try that. I like the style of these fans.

WD40 will free up the bearings, but you may notice a slight noise from them afterwords.. I've had better luck with contact cleaner to free up the bearings, followed by oil..
