To reactivate a noisy or sluggish electric clock, blower or other device with a sealed rotor or bearing, heat the unit in a moderate oven. Then, while it is cooling, place a few drops of oil around the output shaft or gear. The contracting air inside the sealed compartment will inhale the oil through the bearing and restore normal operation.
