My friends fan was wobbling and shaing.
Fix unbalanced fan blades on attic fan.
If the fan still wobbles keep moving the clothespin from blade to blade until you find the culprit.
In such cases either balance them out or replace the blades entirely.
It may be due to a low quality ceiling fan but it could also be due to a balancing issue.
So i pushed the blades a little.
The blade bracket was bent.
This is something that can occur even in regular ceiling fans as a consequence of regular use.
I measured the blades from the cieling just like he said and one was about a half inch lower.
This may keep your fan from being so annoying while it s operating.
So when i put in the new fan i unbent the support arm as much as i could.
You can fix the unbalanced blade with some coins or a blade balancing kit.
If the motor isn t working you will need an attic fan motor replacement or attic replacement fan.
Balance the ceiling fan blades.
Now when it turns on i could tell from the spin that the blades are not even.
To get out the old motor blades from within the attic i had to bend a support arm attached to the housing.
I fixed that and fan no longer wobbles.
We ve got the fix for you to stop a squeaky ceiling fan.
Ceiling fan wobble is caused by imbalances in the fan blades or blade holders misalignment of blades excess dust.
Perhaps you don t feel like repairing it or you can t find the right parts either.
My ceiling fan had been wobbling for weaks so i deided i was going to buy a balancing kit but before i did i watched this video.
If mismatched blades is causing your fan to wobble you can purchase a ceiling fan balancing kit to attempt to balance the blades.
The last remaining option is to replace your attic fan with a new and quieter model.
I explore ways to repair this.
If the fan makes a constant metal clanking noise in all probability the fan blades are imbalanced.
This attic fan motor is the most expensive repair for attic exhaust fans.
If your ceiling fan wobbles and makes more racket than an unbalanced washing machine load read on.
This video is p.
After that different parts get worn down and require fixing or replacement.
But the blades got caught on the support arm.
Thanks for the video really did help.
So i fixed it.
Attic fans usually last around 4 5 years if they re used regularly.
If it doesn t you ve found the unbalanced blade.
If one of the blades on a ceiling fan has any more than 2 or 3 grams weight difference from one to another this is enough to cause ceiling fan wobble.
After you realize that it s not an electrical or thermostat problem the chances of it being a problem with the motor are quite high.
