A noisy ceiling fan can be one of the most annoying things to deal with and it is worse if it is in your bedroom and you are trying to sleep.
Mending such a fan is very easy and any owner can do it without the help of a trained electrical mechanic. Before getting on to the job, one must have some tools like a screwdriver and a balancing kit for ceiling fans.
Before you get in they’re with your screwdriver and start messing with things, make sure that the fan was installed properly. Make sure there are no gaps in the canopy, and if you find some, better replace it with the new one.
Fans start producing noise if any of the screws is left loose. Inspect each screw used in the system and tighten them fully if found loose including that of the canopy.
If in case, you need to replace the canopy, make sure you tighten those screws as well. Tighten the screws that are holding the blades. Tighten the screws holding the blade arms to the motor, followed by the screws holding the blades to the blade holders.
At very times, the tightening of the screws itself solves the problem of noisy fans. In case the problem is still unsolved, we may once again try to balance its blades. For carrying out the balancing of a ceiling fan we may purchase a balancing kit from a nearby hardware store and using this balancing kit, the fan can be balanced in a very short time and with a minimum labor.
Before undertaking the process of balancing a ceiling fan we must switch on the fan and confirm the speed at which the fan produces the noise. Having confirmed that, put off the fan and keep a weighted clip from the balancing kit, on one of the blades. Run the fan and if the noise still persists, repeat the process by shifting the clip onto another blade until the time the noise goes off.
If some of the internal components inside your fan are wearing out such as the bearings, you may be able to quiet the noise by simply running your fan on a lower speed. To permanently solve the problem, you may need to replace the components.
