Fan Tilt Joint

Yes, a broken tilt joint on a Holmes pedestal fan HASF-1516 can be replaced. The tilt joint is a plastic piece that connects the fan head to the base of the fan. It allows you to tilt the fan head up and down to direct the airflow. If the tilt joint is broken, the fan head will not stay in place and the fan will not be able to oscillate.

Replacement tilt joints are available from Holmes Products and other retailers. You can also find them online.

To replace the tilt joint, you will need to remove the fan head from the base of the fan. This can be done by loosening the screws that hold the fan head in place. Once the fan head is removed, you can remove the broken tilt joint and replace it with the new one.

Here are the steps on how to replace the tilt joint of a Holmes pedestal fan HASF-1516:

Unplug the fan from the power outlet.

Loosen the screws that hold the fan head in place.

Remove the fan head from the base of the fan.

Remove the broken tilt joint from the fan head.

Replace the broken tilt joint with the new one.

Tighten the screws that hold the fan head in place.
