Inline fan broke after 5 minutes...

  1. Well, I made my own make shift cool tube with a hurricane lamp and suncourt 6" inline fan. It worked great while the fan was running but I turned it off and left the light on for five minutes so I could rewire it to a higher speed and it got pretty hot. I turned the fan back on and it ran for 3 minutes and turned off. Now it won't start at all. Anyone know about this kind of thing???:confused:

    Pretty sure I burnt the motor.:mad:
     
  2. send it back - if u act dumb they might replace it for u ;)
    Next time, arrange it so u are blowing cool air through the tube & not sucking hot air out ;)
     
  3. I ended up pulling out the fan above my oven in the hood and swapped the motors. It works now, but I'll see how it holds up when I install it to the light.
