It got so hot in the house today my grandmother's ceiling fan melted inside. It gets up to 350°F when it's spinning now and fucking SCREAMS.

Here are the charred-ass screws we pulled out.

That has little to do with the ambient temperature and a lot with a broken fan motor, cabling defects or a completely misdesigned device that doesn't allow any motor heat dissipation.

@Fast-Nop something inside melted while it was off all day.

@Parzi Just how hot did it get inside the house?

Honestly though it kinda sounds like a short. I'm going to agree with bad design, since most consumer electronics is crap anyway.

@Root 200+°F. We had no insulation in half the walls at the time (fixing some wall holes) and we have the worst fucking roof ever.

(if it was a short it wouldnt've spin after the melt which tipped us off that something was wrong)

@Parzi bruh. 90+ °C inside the house? I doubt it.

Unless you meant inside the fan assembly, I would link that to bad design rather than ambient temperature.

@RememberMe it got hot as fuck the other day and most of the walls are made of blackboard. It gets
H O T
in there sometimes

and since there was a large chunk of insulation missing the other day... yeah, it got pretty close to that. We couldn't even go inside for a while and had to wait for the heat to leak out the front and back doors.

(we live in a trailer so it's basically an insulated cardboard box)
