A faulty ceiling fan may make your stay in the room troublesome as it keeps irritating you with its constant noise. A laid back attitude may prove costly for you as it may lead to a burn-out in the fan's motor.
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 however everything seems alright then the problem may be with the fan blades. Loosely screwed nuts and bolts on the fan blades often cause an imbalance between the blades resulting in annoying sound. Re tighten the screws and switch on the fan regulating to it's highest setting. Also oil the screws well to reduce friction. If nothing seems to have changed then go for the next option.
Work with the proper balancing of the blades so that they don't wobble. Imbalanced blades don't cut through the air smoothly and hence create unnecessary noise and also reduces the cooling effect of the fan. To solve the problem a re-balancing kit specifically made to balance the ceiling fan blades can be brought into the home. Take out the penny or the weight from the kit and attach it to one of the blades. Turn the fan on to observe any noise. If noise persists then attach the weight to another blade. Keep repeating the process and shifting the position of the attachment until no noise is encountered.
Alter the angle of the faulty blade to synchronize it with that of the other blades. Once modified, check the fan for noise again. If noise still continues then check the height between the blade tip and the ceiling and make sure that all blades hang at the same height from the ceiling.
Check the canopy of the fan for accumulation of debris as well.
If all else fails then the problem lies with the ceiling fan motor and the associated copper binding. Avail the services of a professional in that regard and if the motor seems to be faulty then get it replaced with a new one if it is under warranty period.
