WD40 is a water dispersant, light cleaner degreaser type of product which can lubricate lightly, but the silicone spray is a better, more versatile and longer lasting lubricant which protects the surface and can prevent moisture from getting in. With the exhaust fan, you may have metals, plastics and wires which means the silicone spray does a longer lasting better job.

@@hananahbanana9375 WD40 will work for a while, but depending how bad the problem, it might last a couple weeks to couple of months, but spray lubricant can last a few more months. Usually something will need to be cleaned first, so as a one stop shop, WD40 is a good happy medium. On things like squeaky door hinges or door locks where the knobs/handles are hard to turn, or keys hard to put in keyhole and or turn, WD40 is all you need for them, works wonders and lasts ages.

Hello from across the ditch. Thx agin for an informative video. What I found on the internet was that you use WD40 as a degreaser and rust remover, so you should probably have used WD40 to clean the rust of the parts that needed it and then apply the silicone spray. I found this info on WD40: Many people believe that WD40 is a fix-all lubricant; however, they would be wrong. WD40 is not a lubricant at all. WD40 is used as a degreaser or rust remover, and the main reason why it will stop those pesky squeaks is that it will clean most partial out of joints; however, the results will be short-lived. WD40 contains petroleum distillates, also known as paint thinner and can, therefore, do damage on some plastics and other fragile surfaces. WD40 can also cause some joints to cease since it can dry out the surface that it is cleaning by displacing water. That is why, in most cases, you should use some form of accurate Lubrication after cleaning a device with WD40. Uses of WD40: WD40 is excellent to use on the screw that is rusted on; it will eat through the rust and hopefully loosen the screw enough to be removed Rusty or dirty joints on furniture like mobile beds, recliners, or other moving furniture, however, should be followed up with a lubricant such as Silicone spray. It is possible to over lubricate so best to leave joints alone unless they are squeaking. Removing crayon from your walls or paint rub from another car that is on your car. When not to use WD40 Plastics or other sensitive material, like WD40, can break down and damage these materials. Drive chains, WD40 can create rust to form on the chain over time. The lubricant that should be used would be a high-grade synthetic 20W. Hope this helps.

If the fan has stopped working and is plug in type as Kents’ video, plug in to a normal GPO / socket to test before refitting, making sure the fan blades are clear of anything. If it is hard wired (in Australia) you will need an electrician

For electric motors, non-detergent oil is ideal. SAE-20 type oil is recommended for motors.

WD40: flammable vapor, combustible when dry, and a de-greaser. Motor: electrical spark potential, temp rise (heats up) during operation, enjoys proper lubrication.

Cheers Fox.

the reason u don't use WD40 is because it's an effective degreaser. WD40 will dissolve the grease used to lubricate the bearings and it will run off out of the bearing. WD40 will soon evaporate leaving the bearing dry. The bearings will sieze up soon after.

WD40 is actually not a lubricant as most people think. It's actually a lubricant remover/degreaser so it has the opposite effect to lubricant in the medium-long term.
