As someone else stated, WD-40 is a solvent and a degreaser. It is designed to displace water.

In fact, for bearings which need grease, WD-40 can remove the very thing that is keeping the bearings from wearing out!

If the fan is very old and no longer works properly, it just needs to be replaced.

Sometimes it is really complicated replacing them with a danger of damaging stuff, if you have no routine. Then using something to spray is easier to fix it for some time. It helped in my cases, even though I will definitely try something else next time ..
