Basic Troubleshooting for a Ceiling Fan


Fundamental Investigating

I. Fan isn’t working

Check to ensure that all controls on the fan are utilitarian and set appropriately. Does the fan have a light? Does the light work? In the event that both the fan and the light are not working, it is reasonable an association issue as well as the fan isn’t getting power. Assuming that the light is working and the fan isn’t, the principal thing to check is assuming that the dark wire has come disengaged inside the shelter. Then, check to be certain that the edges turn uninhibitedly. On the off chance that they don’t, the issue might include stuck course , a messed dehumidifier fan motor

  flywheel, or just something caught in the way of the engine or edges that doesn’t have a place there.

II. Fan light isn’t working

In the event that the fan is working however the light isn’t, the issue is generally a free association between the power source and the light pack.

III. Fan runs, however wobbles or shakes

See area on adjusting.

IV. Fan runs, yet leisurely.

To start with, verify that the fan cutting edges turn openly the hard way and coast in the wake of being turned. In the event that turn is in any capacity solid, this is an indication of messy, dry, or gummed direction, which can slow the engine. The fan ought to be oiled. Second, does the fan wobble by any means? In the event that under any circumstance the sharp edge pitch is more extreme on at least one cutting edges than the engine is intended for, this will slow the engine. See the part on adjusting. In the event that the cutting edges turn openly and are adjusted, the reason for a fan running gradually is quite often a terrible capacitor. It ought to be supplanted with a capacitor of equivalent worth.

V. Fan makes mechanical commotion while running for example clicking, thumping, crushing.

In the event that it’s a mechanical sound, odds are it is a mechanical issue. It very well may be something as basic as a wire that has slipped into the way of a few complex components. On the off chance that the fan wobbles, adjusting the fan might quietness the commotion. Assuming the fan is adjusted, the following thing to check is in the event that anything is coming into the way of the cutting edges or some other perceptible moving part. On the off chance that the clamor seems, by all accounts, to be inner to the engine, it is doubtlessly a heading issue, or something (like a wire or connector) interacting with moving parts inside the lodging. Dry heading can likewise make a crushing, squeeling, or shaking clamor. Ultimately, at times mechanical commotions are the consequence of free parts on the fan. Check the sharp edges, cutting edge sections, light unit glass, and so on, to be certain every one of the screws are tight.

VI. Fan makes a murmuring commotion while running

The way in to a tranquil fan is to confine the engine vibration from any remaining parts. This happens, in most of fans, in three spots: between the engine and the edge sections, between the edge sections and the cutting edges, and between the downrod/engine rib and the mounting section. A few fans likewise have vibration-segregating material between the mounting section and the roof. In the event that your fan makes a recognizable murmuring clamor, review it for the previously mentioned kinds of vibration-disengaging material. Except for the elastic flywheel, on the off chance that your fan is deficient with regards to any of the abovementioned, they are not difficult to add and ought to take care of most of murmuring issues. You can continuously add extra material as elastic washers and spacers are promptly accessible.

VII. Fan makes an electrical humming commotion while running.

By a wide margin the most well-known reason for an electrical clamor from a fan is the utilization of an inappropriate speed control. Most fans made today are not intended to be utilized with Strong State speed controls. Utilize a speed control, for example, a capacitor type, that is suggested for your fan. Try not to utilize a dimmer switch EVER on a fan engine.

VIII. Fan moves next to no air.

To begin with, check and check whether any of different issues recorded above apply. Running excessively sluggish? Reeling? Check and ensure the fan isn’t working backward (for most fans, clockwise, see ‘turning around area’). Another, more uncertain, choice is that the edges became twisted or distorted without really putting the fan out of equilibrium. Notice the fan from the side to check whether the edges are as yet pitched perceptibly. In the event that not, reference the adjusting segment for twisting them once again into the right spot.

Ultimately, you may very well have a modest fan that doesn’t move a ton of air. Examine our site, and purchase another one!
