I’m in need of help finding where the oil reservoir as well as the hole that I put the oil into for my Hunter 25444 that was installed in 1993. I’ve checked everywhere online, and I can find info for other models, but none for the 25444. Am I even able to add oil to this model? It has been making a grinding noise when on high, that’s why I wanted to check the oil. Thank you for any help!

Hello, It looks like you have the hunter Ceiling fan model: "Clarion" which was a Hechinger's exclusive fan and rename of the more commonly known "Summer breeze" model. Unfortunately these fans have sealed bearings, and like most hunters as they age tend to become mediocre over time. Unless you're willing to do a full service and replace the bearings on this fan (challenging repairs) I would recommend getting a new fan if the noise does not go away. So yes, there are NO Oil ports on this hunter. ![]()  |

It is actually better than most of the fans you can buy from The Home Depot or Lowe’s. You could try putting some oil in bearings between spinning part and non-spinning part. If you can’t silence the bearings maybe you could get a new fan. Hunter Original is oil bath and can blow more air than the fan you have. |
