PROBLEM
SUGGESTED REMEDY
1. If fan does not start:
2. If fan sounds noisy:
3. If fan wobbles:
4. If light does not work:
1. Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
2. Make sure forward/reverse switch is firmly in left or right position. Fan will
not operate when switch is in the middle.
3. Make sure that the wall control is turned "ON".
4. Check line wire connections to fan and switch wire connections in switch
housing.
1. Make sure all screws in motor housing are snug (not over tightened).
2. Make sure the screws which attach the fan blade bracket to the motor are
tight.
3. Make sure wire nut connectors in switch housing are not rattling against each
other or against the interior wall of the switch housing.
4. If using an optional ceiling fan light kit, make sure the screws securing
the glassware are finger-tight. Make sure light bulb is tight in socket and
not touching glass shade(s). If vibration persists from glass, remove glass and
install a 1/4"-wide. Wide rubber band on glass neck to act as an insulator.
Replace
glass and tighten screws against rubber band.
5. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from solid state variable speed
controls. DO NOT USE a solid state variable speed control.
6. Allow "break-in" period of 24 hours. Most noises associated with a new fan
will disappear after this period.
All blades are weighed and grouped by weight. Natural woods vary in density
which could cause the fan to wobble even though all blades are weight-matched.
The following procedures should eliminate most of the wobble. Check for
wobble
after each step.
1. Check that all blades are screwed firmly into blade brackets.
2. Check that all blade brackets are tightened securely to motor.
3. Make sure that canopy and hanger bracket are tightened securely to ceiling
junction box and junction box is mounted firmly to ceiling joist.
4. Most wobble problems of fan are caused when blades are not in equal level.
To check the blade levels, select a point on the ceiling above the tip of any
blade. Measure the distance from the ceiling to the blade tip, to an accuracy
of 1/8" (3 mm). Rotate the blades until the next blade is in the measuring
position.
Repeat measurement for each blade. If all blade levels are not equal,
you can adjust blade
levels by the following procedure. To adjust a
blade tip down,
insert a washer (not supplied) between the blade and
blade bracket at the
screw closest to the motor. To adjust a blade tip up,
insert washer (not
supplied) between the blade and blade bracket at the two
screws farthest from the motor.
5. Interchanging two adjacent blades could redistribute the weight and possibly
result
in smoother operation.
1. Check blue wire from fan to make sure it is connected to hot wire from supply
wire
coming out of the ceiling.
2. Check for loose or disconnected wires in fan switch housing.
3. Check for loose or disconnected wires in light kit.
4. Check for faulty light bulbs.
