    • Check if your model is WV2.

    • Remove the first five screws using a compatible torx bit or a flat-head screwdriver.

    • There is no specific length for each screw, so it doesn't matter if they get mixed up.

    • Don't use a screwdriver with a shaft that is too large as it could get stuck in the plastic part.

    • There are pins aren’t visible from the outside. You must get them out of the way. This is done by sliding a round tip knife into the groove.

    • (Originally the french text said: Slide a round tip knife between the body and the base at the yellow seal. This seal doesn’t seem to exist.)

    • Do not force in this step, you could break the plastic towers

    • Once the bottom cover is removed, unscrew the last screw located behind the bottom cover.

    • If there isn't anything preventing the fan from spinning, there shouldn't be any resistance.

    • Press the button, your fan should spin again!

Merci beaucoup pour ce tutoriel.

Je ne sais pas réellement ce qui a bloqué le ventilateur, je l'ai tourné plusieurs fois à la main et d'un coup il a fonctionné de nouveau. Merci encore

Avec grand plaisir ! :)

Parfois les hélices sont bloquées par un micro organisme.

Et bien la pouasse! 😟 Merci pour le tuto dĂ©montage / test mais je relance le ventilo tout est ok j’allume impec mais ça s’éteint automatiquement aprĂšs 3/4 secondes , donc ce ne serait pas le problĂšme


LumiĂšre verte clignotante, puis parfois plus du tout , on sent une envie d’y aller mais obligĂ© d’insister sur l’allumage avant que ça ne parte 
 je crains que ce ne soit plus sĂ©rieux 😟

Merci de votre aide .

Merci beaucoup, la garantie de mon appareil finissait en juin et panne début septembre.

J'ai suivi Ă  la lettre votre tuto et c bon.

MĂȘme si je n'ai rien trouvĂ©, sans doute qlq chose de minuscule.

A noter qu'il faut un tournevis étoilé de toute petite taille que je n'avais pas.

Mais je peux Ă  nouveau profiter de l'appareil.
