The fan in my 3530 does not turn. I replaced the rubber washer to no avail. How do I get the fan to turn. Thanks

Does the rubber washer have fingers sticking up? A regular washer won't do. Also, you can score the metal disc on the fan bottom to improve it's grip.

The drive washer must be inserted with it's fingers bointing down so they ride on the coil of the base. Perhaps post a photo or link to a video showing what is happening.
