Sir_Sanuk Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Hi, It seems that in her eagerness to please my cleaner took my fan apart to clean it, but then didn't put it back together again properly - meaning that when I switched it on, it promptly exploded and the rotating blade is now lying in pieces around my apartment (thankfully not lodged somewhere inside me). The rest of the fan is still in tact so all I need is a new blade. Does anyone know if it's possible to buy just this part in Bangkok without having to buy a whole new fan? It's a Hatari Digital Slide, stand-up fan... (I have looked at www.hatari.co.th but there is no info on spare parts and I've sent them an email but not holding my breath for a reply). Cheers for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaidleHands Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 This won't give you immediate relief, but normally with Hitari it's the electrics that go bad. If you can wait a while, one of your neighbors will put one out with the trash. If that's too long to wait, you may find most makes of fans have interchangable blades and you can score one from the local electrical repair shop. Take the hub of the broken blade with you when you go for a test fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaya9 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Just buy a new one or steal one from the neighbor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for any help. Take the reminants and give them to a moto taxi outside ya appartment along with about 150 baht + 100 for the trip, they'll probably sit around looking at each other like they've been asked to split the atom for a few mins but my guess is you'll have a new one within an hr...

Tywais Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Does anyone know if it's possible to buy just this part in Bangkok without having to buy a whole new fan? I also have Hatari fans and found a large selection of replacement fans at Tesco Lotus (though in Chiangmai). Shouldn't be a problem to find as one member mentioned, rather generic.

Chloe82 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Yes, you can buy a new blade for it, cost is around B100 - B200 if i remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Next time the sh*t hits the fan, tell the cleaning lady to leave it there! By the way, what is the best brand of fan to get? I plan to get a new one. A couple of years ago I bought 2 really cheap fans (made in China), they lasted less than a month! I currently have a couple of Tory fans which I've had for a long time, but wonder if another brand is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_Sanuk Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 yupp, they had all sizes of Hatari blades at Tesco Lotus and since my original post way back when I've had no problems at all - so I'd def recommend Hatari. Mine has been going every day for 4 years now. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lomatopo Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I am looking for a replacement part for a 16" Hatari floor fan, specifically the plastic collar which holds the front and back grills together. I've been looking around (Bangkok, all the types of places mentioned in this thread)) for a while without success. Has anyone noticed any shops or areas which might have this part?

sanook2me Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 WFM !. I destroyed my 14" Hatari blade today but putting a table leg through the guard while it was on... Tesco Lotus Pinklao only stock 16" spare blades 98 baht each suitable for Hatari and Philips. Will check later at another Tesco store and report back...

cat5 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 As other's have said, you can get a replacement blade quite easily from any big store, or hardware store. When the motor gives up you can even get that repaired for about 100 baht or so. If you are really insistent on bring it back to life, you can even get the motor rewound at Ban Mor. Just do a search online and you'll find the info you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
