My Electrolux Pure A9 air purifier has been running daily for a couple of years and the fan has become noticeably whinier and grindier.

I’ve been looking for a service manual without luck, obviously Electrolux does not provide them.

Any advice how to lubricate the fan would be much appreciated!

    Yeah, well, I didn’t plan to stick my fingers in a moving fan, but cheers for the heads up. :)

    I did some googling but didn’t really find anything useful. I guess there be plastic rubbing against plastic, don’t know if something in particular should be applied. Guess I’ll go for some sewing machine oil and see what happens.

      Ah, I think you misunderstood the intention of that quote.

      Because the manual says that, the fan is likely easily accessible once you remove the filters. From there, with it unplugged (!!!), flip it and maybe you can easily apply that grease.

        Ooh, I see! That’s a clever deduction. Thanks!
