I have this fan & have removed those screws. Look directly above the switch on the back of the fan, let your eye travel up to the extreme outside edge. Such as where you'd find 12 o'clock on a timepiece. The screws are very small. About the size of the head of a finishing nail.
Follow the edge around to 2 o'clock, 4 o'clock, and so on. Don't blink.
I used a very small philips head screwdriver, the same size as for doing watch or eyeglass repair. Remember to have a secure place to put the screws, such as a pill bottle, or lid.
And the screws can be difficult to remove, apply a lot of force downward on the screwdriver and turn s-l-o-w-l-y. Don't strip the head of the screw.
Good luck,

I was wondering how to
all you have to do get your vacum cleaner or unscrew all screws before opening your fan.

thank you for using fixya. The blade cage has locks and screws that you can remove from the back. once the cage has been removed, you can remove the blade attached to the motor using a vacuum cleaner or you can remove the blades by undoing the screw on the center detaching it from the motor.

It's possibly a lubrication problem. I can't seem to keep mine lubricated, so good luck with yours.

The front wire grating has hooks all around the edge that latch onto the rear grating. You need at least two screwdrivers, blades or thin & stiff shims to pry half the hooks off. Do this by inserting your shims between the front and rear grates, on either side of a hook. Then, lever your shims such that the rear grate warps enough to free a hook and let it pass in front. (Note: this IS difficult; the first hook will not want to clear the rear grate. It helps to have an extra pair of hands, and/or another object to temporarily keep the first hook seperated. It may also be possible to start with three shims and clear two hooks in the beginning). Continue clearing the hooks in a consecutive fashion (they're progressively easier) until half of them are off, at which point the front grate should come off using a little muscle. A couple notes: if available, a plastic shim is preferable over a metal one because it shouldn't damage the nice finish as much (alternatively, wrap your shims in cloth). It is NOT necessary to remove the whole fan cage from the stand to do this. Expect the reverse process to be equivalently challenging. Please wear safety glasses in case your shim breaks or slips. Lastly, good luck if you try to lubricate the shaft. I've tried multiple substances, but day-long blowing continually dries out the lubricant.
Honeywell air cleaners, can you prevent or repair motors from freezing up?
Oiling the shaft will help considerably, but remember the shaft has two ends and two bearings. People forget about the one at the end of the motor, the other end from the fan which is often hidden. Also motors come in different qualities. Makers tend to go from cheap to mid range as they only have to last the period of the warranty. If you can get a quality motor in the same fitting with ball bearing races, they will basically last forever.
