Fasco Ceiling Fans

The F.A.Smith Company, also known as FASCO, has been making fans and motors in the US since the 1930s. They made residential ceiling fans from the 1970s through the early 1990s before selling their ceiling fan division to Patton.

Fasco ceiling fans were very high quality and had a K55-type motor, made by Fasco. They had very few problems. Models with more than 4 blades used a rubber flywheel that may need to be replaced, see "flywheel replacement". Some fancier models featured a variable speed control (see "ceiling fan faq") that had some components that may short out, causing the fan to only work on high. This control was called "Vari-Low" and is not easily repaired, contact ceilingfanrepair@yahoo.com for more details. As with all older fans, with age and use the bearings may become dry or dirty and require oiling or replacement, see "oiling" section.

Some later Fasco models were imported and used spinner motors. As with all imported fans, they are very unlikely to have problems, and replacement parts are generic.

Some Fasco models are still being made by Marley Metal Engineered products. These are quality fans available at reasonable prices.
