Fixing The Noise Of A Ceiling Fan

A noisy ceiling fan can drive you crazy with it’s constantly irritating sound. The imperishable noise disturbs the integrity of the room and consequently drives you crazy.

Often the problem is considered much more complicated than it actually is. Even a novice can handle the task of altering the mechanization of the ceiling fan in order to fix the issue provided that the correct logic is applied.

Start the examination of the ceiling fan by turning it off for almost 24 hours before switching it on again. Sometimes excessive use of the fan may heat up the machinery leading to noises. If however the noise keeps coming out of the fan then make way for the next option. Check whether the fan is installed correctly and all the components are well placed.

If the installation seems stable enough then check for loosened screws in the fan blades. Tighten them immediately with an appropriate screwdriver and oil them as well. Test the fan at it’s highest setting and see if the noise continues.

If a wobble is noticed in the blades while fan is running, then there could be a problem in the balancing of the blades. Instead of tweaking and turning the blades manually make way for a re-balancing kit. It would contain weights that are attached to the fan blades to see if the noise disappears or not. If the noise disappears with a weight(or penny) attached to a particular blade then the problem lies with the balancing of that particular fan blade. If however noise seems to be persisting then adjust the position of the attachment along the length of the blade.

In addition check whether the blades are set at a common angle to each other and if found deterring, gently adjust to the appropriate angle.

Take a look at the fan rod and into the canopy as well to explore accumulation of debris there. Clear off any such foreign material from the canopy immediately as that may be obstructing the free movement of the blades.

If still you are not able to fix the noisy fan then the problem may be with the underlying fan motor. Take it to a local hardware/electrical store so determine the problem. Keep a local electrician in tact to assist you with the proceedings.
