If you are refiring to the generic cheap window fans you get in the
store, I find for the most part, they only last a year anyway..
You must check to see how stiff the rotor is, many times the bushings
will dry out from the heat. Also after some run time the bushings will
loosen up and when this happens, dust in the area will migrate its way
into the bushings, what you normally end up with is a fan that worked
last year but now is having a hard time starting, due to drag.
These box fans operate hot anyway, due to their design.
You may want to think about getting a real vent fan for agricalture, a
motor type design to last in plases like chicken coops etc...
P.S.
Shop around at your local hardware store with a vent fan with this
type of motor on it.
