14. TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
Fan will not start.
Fan sounds noisy.
Fan wobble.
Solution
1. Check that all fuses or circuit breakers are installed or in the ON position.
2. Check all electrical connections to insure proper contact. CAUTION: Make
sure the main power is OFF when checking any electrical connection.
1. Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade brackets to the motor are
tight.
3. Make sure wire nut connections are not rubbing against each other or the
interior wall of the switch housing.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.
4. Allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noise associated with a new fan
disappear during this time.
5. If using an optional light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware
are tight. Make sure the light bulbs are not touching any other component.
6. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from solid-state variable speed
controls. If you have installed this type of control, choose and install another
type of control.
7. Make sure the upper canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should not
touch the ceiling.
1. Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.
2. Most fan wobbling problems are caused when blade levels are unequal.
Check this level by selecting a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the
blades. Measure this distance. Rotate the fan until the next blade is
positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. The distance deviation
should be equal within 1/8".
3. Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if the blade wobble is still noticeable.
4. If the blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by
side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother
operation.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY AND TO INUSRE THE
PROPER OPERATION OF YOUR CEILING FAN. NEVER ATTACH THE BLADE
ASSEMBLIES UNTIL THE CEILING FAN HAS BEEN MOUNTING ON THE CEILING.
DO NOT BEND THE BLADE ARMS WHILE INSTALLING, BALANCING OR
CLEANING THE FAN. DO NOT INSERT FOREIGN OBJECTS BETWEEN
ROTATING FAN BLADES.
