Lighting Fan quit working

[Yeatster]

I have a 300w (6) cob light. For a couple of weeks one cob fan was having trouble propelling. As I expected it eventually stopped moving entirely. I opened the housing to clean inside. I figured there is probably some hair or something caught in there.

Still no movement.

My question is: how can I take the bladed part out, so I can remove what's restricting it from spinning? It definitely has power. Every other fan, the blades move freely and smoothly with power off. This one is stiff, obviously something caught in there.

Thanks.

Check under the sticker for a screw. If not, the fan assembly is either compression fit or glued on. Try prying upward gently with a flathead...also use Google. That's how pros fix stuff they aren't familiar with. Good luck.

I could tell it was something interfering with the propeller because before it stopped it would run, stop, go slow, then run again, in no specific order. Unwound a girlie hair from her too.
