Im trying to repair an old fan and I figured out that the issue was a thermal fuse. I shorted it now for testing.
In the peocess of dissassembling the fan motor, I ripped out the wiring tonthe coil though.
Im curious if anyone can help me figure out how and/or if I can reattach them.

Hi W,
Can you see where the ends of the coil are? (Where they were broken)
If you can find them, you need to solder on wires, so it is back as it was. Your solder join should be insulated, and I think you could use epoxy glue.

Clean it all, before rebuilding it.
Make sure it spins freely.

40+, that's hot!

Thank you for the quick help.
I think I can see them (maybe). But there seem to be a lot of lose ends. 17227833009403208476835575096521.jpg

Would it maybe be possible to solder the wire straight to the coil in that general direction? Or would that break everything?

It was connected by these really thin wires, can they even carry enough power to spin the motor?

Hi W,
All of those ends must be connected to the correct other bit, so it makes the whole coil correct.
Sorry, but it looks none repairable.
If there's an electrical shop nearby, they may be able to fix it, but I doubt, it.

It's because the coil is a long wire wrapped round and round, that it can take the current.

BE CAREFUL, it's dangerous.
