Make sure the plug is securely plugged into the outlet. If so, try unplugging the unit and plugging it into another outlet to test if the original outlet was the problem.
Make sure the Power button to turned to ON
Overheated
The fan may not be working because it has been overused and has overheated. Try unplugging the fan for at least 15 minutes, and then plug in the fan again. When you do this, make sure the fan is OFF while it is resting. Also, make sure you turn the fan to ON after plugging it back in.
Dead Motor
If the previous solutions have not been successful, the motor may be dead. If the motor is dead, it will need to be replaced. Please refer to the Guide to Replace Motor.
Fan vibrates making a lot noise
The fan is making too much noise.
Uneven Surface
The fan may be on an unbalanced surface. Try placing the fan on carpet, sometimes hard surfaces can cause vibrations.
Dust Clogging the Fan
Dust can cause parts of the fan to clog up. Remove parts of the fan to clean the inside of it. To do this, please refer to the guide on How To Disassemble Fan.

Something Stuck in Fan
The fan is separated into two components, with a knob in between them. Make sure that nothing is stuck between the two components. If you see anything stuck, make sure to remove it. Please refer to the guide on How To Disassemble Fan.
Motor is Wet
Each fan has a oscillating motor plus a blade motor. It is possible that water may have entered into the surface, affecting either of the two motors. Check to see if there are any moisture surrounding them. You can do this by disassembling the fan and cleaning it off. Please refer to the guide on How To Disassemble Fan.
Faulty Wire
If the wire is somehow damaged or tensed, it could prevent the movements. Check to see if anything is placed on the wire, or if the wire is stuck under a table leg.
Need to Replace Oscillating Motor
Every fan has an oscillating motor inside. If the troubleshooting tips mentioned above do not work, this might mean that the problem may be the product itself and you may need to replace a new oscillating motor.

No Instructions to Replace Filter
Unfortunately, there are instructions in the user manual on how to change the filter. First, you will need to disassemble the fan. To do this, please refer to the guide on How To Disassemble Fan. After the fan is disassembled, please refer to the Guide to Replace Filter.

With all due respect to the author, I can say with 100% certainty that you’re not entirely up to speed on Fans.Very few fans have a oscillating motor. Most of them use the fan motor itself through a series of gears to make it oscillate. But that’s only if you have an oscillating fan. Most fans are actually box fans or stationary fans that do not have an oscillating motor

I had my Lasko oscillating fan 1 summer the next summer it worked for a few days and now nothing. I paid $69.00 from home Depot and I am very upset I bought 2 at the same time and both did the same thing lights come on but no fan. If the motor go out this fast this product is useless..
