Fan sounds rough, so going to whip it out and replace it with a goodun, what do people lube them up with prior to fitting, also lost fan speed 1 and when on 4 get a burning smell so going to change the resistor pack while I'm there.

Get it all freed up with WD40 or similar, then lube it with a light oil, like 3 in 1, if that still exists.

A simple as 3 in1 then, thought there was going to be specific electric motor bearing lube.
