Hi,

a friend of mine has an older microwave oven (Moulinex Y87 Optimo Duo)
whose cooling fan has started to be very noisy and vibrating. I have
checked the European parts distributor EURAS already and they list the
fan as NLA.

Anyone knows here, what kind of cooling fan these ovens usually employ
so I might look for a cheap replacement fan (voltage, power consumption)
  ? My friend has moved to Norway, he just graduated and thus doesn't
have the money to buy a new microwave oven, especially in Norway
(expensive) :).

I am in Germany and could buy one for him, so if anyone could give me a
hint what to look for, I'd highly appreciate it. In the meantime, he is
going to disassemble the oven to inspect the fan.

Regards,

Adrian

Fasco makes small fractional HP ac motors but you need the
specifications both electrical and physical.- Hide quoted text -

Why not lubricate the fan bearings? Much easier and cheaper than
replacing the whole fan. Sometimes slightly bending the *** metal
holding the sleeve bearings will also solve the problem, along with
lubrication.
