Troubleshooting

View all →

Common Failure Modes

Fans are reliable, but cheap units can develop annoying hums or wobbles. Capacitors (controlling fan speed) and pull chain switches are the most common mechanical failures.

Maintenance

Dust Blades

Dust builds up on the leading edge, unbalancing the fan and causing wobble.

Tighten Blade Screws

Centrifugal force loosens screws. Tightening prevents clicking noises.
