i fixed mine, do not use oil you need grease oil is too slippery. grease works better as to when the fan stops it will stop inbetween the magnet fields and not in the middle, which requires a nudge to start. i used that red and tacky . did 100 starts and stops and it worked like a charm. on the other hand 3 in 1 oil would cause it to stop in the wrong place and need nudge. maybe 1 out of 10 times.
