Ceiling Fan Common Problems
When using ceiling fans, we may encounter many issues such as the humming noise, downrod wobble, fan not starting and so on. This article focuses on the most common problems with ceiling fans and provides you with maintenance and services guide so that you can fix the ceiling fan at an early stage.
Noisy or humming ceiling fan
Most ceiling fans have some sort of noise issue simply because it is an electrical Appliance with moving parts. If it is an older fan, it will no doubt need more oiling, greasing and maintenance. The best advice is to troubleshoot the problem by checking all the moving and non-moving parts. A ceiling fan has dozens of parts. Tiny screws are used to keep all the fan parts connected. Older screws might start to slip loose due to micro vibrations. This can lead to noise issues coming from rattling parts.
Wobble ceiling fan
The reasons for this issue are typically related to fan blade balancing. If the ceiling fan blades are not properly spaced or have been accidentally bent the fan will start to wobble. There are many DIY kits available in the market that are dedicated to fix a fan from wobbling.
Ceiling fan running slow or not working on all speeds
One common issue that might seem like it’s not problematic is a sign that your motor is having an electrical issue. A motor is going bad if the fan does not start, runs slow or decides to skip certain speeds on the speed control. Usually, a fan burns out when it overheats or too much voltage is run through the motors. A resistor is more prone to letting a motor get too hot despite limiting the electricity to the motor.
Remote control does not work
Having a remote control for any kind of ceiling fan is a great gadget to have. You don’t need to get up from your chair or couch to turn on the lights or change the speed. But what happens when that remote control stops working? Firstly everyone assumes that the battery power has run out. This is an automatic reason, so it’s not a hard choice to solve. Even the little electronics inside the remote control can go bad but first they give you a little sign.
