Any tips on reducing fan noise? I've had one for about 5 months and it produces an audible sound now when it spins. Was debating using w40 or some other lubricant to grease the propeller shaft.

That honestly sounds more like a motor issue. I would contact Caframo since you haven’t had it long.

I did previously because the motor had to be cranked to start. Now the fan shaft seems to oscillate no matter how I tighten it down

I would request a new fan if you are having that many issues, it’s still under warranty!

If it's not under warranty you can get a replacement if you google "CD motor" or just tear apart an old CD player.
