Last year, I dug out of my basement a '70s era Original that had been in a box for at least 15 years. With advice from some members of this forum, I was able to wire and hang it correctly. It worked right away, good as new...
The only problem I have is that it makes a buzzing/humming/vibrating noise at a regular, pulsing interval (24 times in 10 seconds) . It's very quiet on low, but it's really loud on high.
I don't know much about motors or fans or anything, so I was wondering if anyone here might be able to help me figure out how to fix this noise? If I had to guess, I would say that maybe a bearing is going out.
One thing: I over-filled it with oil soon after I got it working. However, the sound was there before that. It seems like it has gotten worse over time.
Thanks for your help!!
