noisy bathroom fan repair

first attempt- remove bathroom fan, cleaned up motor, blades and sprayed WD40.
i let it sit for few minutes, then i installed it. turn switch on, no more loud noises!
few hours passed by bathroom fan is working, i go in to do number 2...after few seconds.
POP POP POP reached over to turn switch off. smell of burn took over bathroom.
so disappointing. Later at night i went back to bathroom and removed fan. checked all wire connections and maybe WD40 shorted it out motor.


2nd attempt- order replacement for fan motor and arrived yesterday.
removed old fan, install new on bracket and all working 100%


i dont mind these minor repairs that i can manage but i pray they stay this small lol
