Seems they are pretty robust then. Had the top off mine before now, my only worry was the longevity of the holes the fan screws go into.

Wasn't a timer issue was it, Mash?

On the bright side, it seems there was no permanent damage.

Steaming the Fan motor

2016-01-04T17:55:04+00:00

I couldn't find a "complete stupidity" category, so I've put this in "general chat"

For reasons I won't bore you with, I boiled my AirStill dry today - with the fan unit resting upside down in it.

On a positive note, The fan motor, fins and condensercoil is really clean now. I can also confirm the cutout switch on the front does work !!

A lot of hairdryer, tissue and WD-40 has recovered the dripping wet fan unit. luckily I had had one apart before so new what to expect.

Aa Stanley blade levered off the 1p's and 2p's peas which had welded themselves to the base as well!

I would not recommend this as a way of cleaning your still.
