Candy CIV60 fan removal

[Tom]

🙁 Help!
❓ Does anyone know how the fan can be removed from the shaft on this Candy dryer. One of the cowl screws has come out; the others are loose. There seems to be an internal thread 5mm on the fan but no other way of holding it. I dont want to break it by excessive force.
thanks in advance

It’s not meant to be removed, the motor assembly (Part No 04310299) comes with fan and rear cowling already fitted. The fan and cowl are NOT available seperately. 🙁

Thanks Martin.
It certainly looks as if it isn’t meant to come off.
🙁 Seems a pity that the 3 screws securing the cowl cannot be tightened; one has come out causing a noise which alerted the customer.
No other fault is present.
I imagine the cost of a replacement motor assembly will make this BER.
The customer will be delighted with Candy.

I just drill a 10mm hole though the plastic fan to allow access to the screws. Drill one 180degrees opposite to allow for balance.

The motor assembly is not too expensive actually.

Thanks Bob.
I figured the same solution. I managed with two 5mm holes, diagonally opposite & there was a mould ring to judge the same radii so should be dynamically balanced; now back together with screwlock for insurance.
