subject: All You Need To Know About Wobbling Ceiling Fan! [print this page] A ceiling fan that wobbles it not an uncommon sight. It is actually one of the more likely scenarios or problems to occur with your ceiling fan. Often times, a wobbly fan will make people believe that the fan is actually not mounted properly. Or somehow, it has loosened from it's positioning in the ceiling after all these years. So homeowners wind up taking the entire fan down and check the mounting, the downrods etc. only to find that the problem is not with the mounting or the downrod at all.
Wobbly fan issues are generally related to the ceiling fan blades. Yes, it's true. The first thing you should do is take a look at your blades. Do they all appear to have the same shape? Are any of them bent out of position or alignment? If yes, first try to bend the blade back into shape. Then try to run the fan again. Did that resolve the problem? All of your blades should be the same distance from the ceiling. If you are bending the blades or other parts be careful you do not break anything. Don't apply too much pressure.
If bending the blade back into position does not help, you will need to replace the entire blade. You can purchase replacement blades for your fan from our website, or you can visit the local retail store where you purchased the fan. If all else fails, pick up the phone and call the manufacturer of the fan. In many cases, you will likely have to do this. Ceiling fan blade replacements
are not always easy to find, any many times when you visit the retail location you will be told they don't have any blades you can use. Opening another fan and taking the blades from that also is not usually an option as the store will not be able to sell that particular fan after that. Not only that, but it's also hard to find the replacement blades you need online sometimes as well.
You can send us a mail if you are having a hard time finding the blades you need, but we highly recommend to contact the manufacturer first if you are looking for replacement blades. They are the best people to talk to on this matter.
