Myson plinth heater - Hardly blowing

Options
I have a myson plinth heater in my kitchen. I noticed that it wasn’t blowing out much hot air. I therefore pulled it out and vacuumed it (including the fan blades inside). The pipes are hot and I’ve bled it of any air (there wasn’t any). Anyway the heater works and hot air is coming out, but I remember the air flow being a lot stronger when we first had it (about 4 years ago). I was wondering if anyone could recommend what I do next to increase the flow of air out of the heater. Even when I toggle the switch to the faster air flow mode there’s hardly any air coming out.

    I have seen a tradesman spraying the bearings/bushes with penetrating oil.
