Your Impress Mighty Mite oscillating fan(more specifically known as Impress Mighty Mite Fan (model# IM-714B) might be making a lot of noise due to it becoming loose, this can be annoying when you most need your fan in days of extreme heat. This is due to a big knob that holds the fan unscrewing itself due to its consistent usage. This knob needs to be reached by disassembling the fan in order to tighten it. To do this procedure not much experience is needed just a good amount of patience, an ability to follow instructions, and knowing how to handle a screwdriver.

Make sure the fan is not connected to the power before commencing this procedure.
