Fan wobbling
Troubleshooting Steps
• Check all the fuses or circuit breakers.
• Turn off the electrical power and check all wire connections.
• Always allow a few days "break in" time for any new fan at
medium or high speed. Try to diagnose the exact location of
the noise by listening carefully from several sides (blades,
motor, light kit, etc.).
• Ensure all screws in the fan assembly and light kit are tight
and properly threaded. If not, back out and retighten.
Tighten these screws at least once a year because they
may loosen slowly over time and cause a clicking noise.
• Make sure the light kit is securely fastened to the fan, and
all glass screws are finger tightened only. Do not tighten
with pliers or a screwdriver.
• Make sure the mounting bracket is installed snugly to the
junction box.
• Make sure wire nuts in the switch housing or the canopy are
not rattling against each other or against the housing's wall.
Wrap with electrical tape if necessary.
• Make sure the canopy is not touching the ceiling.
• Ensure that the screws fastening the blade holders to the
motor are tight and the lock washers provided for that
purpose have been used.
• The fan may be running in reverse, so air is directed upward.
• The room may contain items that obstruct the airflow.
• The fan may be too small for the size of the room.
Note: a small amount of wobble is considered acceptable and
should not be considered a defect.
• Make sure the mounting bracket is fixed tightly to the ceiling
with no movement at all. Tighten screws if necessary.
• Make sure all screws holding the blades to the blade
support and blade support to motor are tight.
• Make sure the light kit and the glass screws are tight.
