(54) Electrical appliance


(57) An electrical appliance is disclosed and includes a housing (113) and a fan casing (150) supporting a motor (145) attached to the housing (113). The motor (145) is inaccessible without detaching the casing (150) from the housing (113). This prevents repairs to the motor from being attempted without first detaching the casing and damage to the fan motor (145) from occurring when it is inadvertently struck by tools during such attempted repairs.
