Why is my exhaust fan running slow?

The torque to drive the motor of your electric fan comes from the magnetic field induced in the motor coils when electricity passes through the coils. When the fan slows down and stops, it could simply be because the coils are worn out, but it's often a burned-out capacitor.
Simply so, why does my fan keep slowing down?

Similarly, you may ask, how can I make my fan faster?
Click the up arrow next to the "CPU" label at the bottom of the SpeedFan screen. The percentage displayed is the speed at which your fan is operating; for instance, when starting the application, your fan might be running at 85 percent. By clicking the up arrow, you'll increase the fan's speed.
- Remove front grill and remove the blades.
- Remove the screws carefully.
- Remove the motor cover.
- Check if the motor has accumulated dust. The dust can make your fan drag endlessly and thus get overheated.
- Brush out the dust. Take care not to damage any connections and cables while you are at it.
