Steps On How To
Stop A Ceiling Fan From Wobbling
|
For those people who have experienced a wobbling ceiling fan
in Singapore, they are aware of how irritating it is. A
wobbling fan is not only noisy but will also not perform its
duties as required and thus the airflow will be reduced. The
fan may even be damaged in case it is allowed to run in this
state for a longer period of time without any repair. The
vibration and the wobbling of the fan will induce some
significant stresses on the parts of the fan and this will
eventually shorten the lifespan of the fan.
Most of the people attribute the wobbling to poor
manufacturer but that is not always the case as there are
other factors that can cause wobbling. Some of the common
sources of wobbling are: unbalanced blades, warped blades,
when another part on the pole assemblies is loose and when
the fan is not properly secured to the ceiling. The
challenge to most of the people in Singapore is How to stop
a ceiling fan from wobbling. Here are the basic steps that
can be applied:
1.The First Step Is To Clean All The Parts Of The Fan
Thoroughly
This is the first step most of the people forget. In the
process of cleaning, you will realize that there are a lot
of dirt in the joints and other parts of the fan. Over
accumulation of the dirt may result in the misalignment that
can cause vibrations in your fan. Besides, when you clean
all the parts, you will not be having any problem accessing
all the parts of the fan. After cleaning it, wipe it with a
dry cloth.
2.Check The Bolts And The Screws On The Fan Blades
You are to inspect each screw holding fan blades to the
arms. Also check the screws that hold fan motor to the arms.
The screw holding the down rod to the motor should also be
tightened. You are to use a stepladder and then grasp the
fan body as you shake it to check whether all the parts are
tight. In case there is still some wobbling and all the
visible screws are tight, then the screws holding the
junction box to the fan are likely to be loose. Go ahead to
tighten these screws and turn the fan on to check whether it
still wobbles. It is very important to check the fan at all
speeds since some wobbling occurs only at certain speeds.
3.In Case The Bolts And The Screws Are Not The Cause, Then
Check The Balance Of The Balance Of The Fan
This is done by turning the fan at the highest speed
possible in the anticlockwise direction while having a
clothespin attached to the each of each blade then check
whether the fan still wobble. In case the wobbling is no
longer seen, check all the other blades by moving the
clothespin to each and every blade. In case ceiling fan will
stop wobbling at certain position, then the last blade you
tested is unbalanced and you have to balance it. In order to
balance, attach a weight to the middle part of the upper
edge of the blade. To balance the blades properly, you may
need to place some weights on different locations of the
fan. The weights should not be more than five as they may
stress the fan in its normal operation. You can buy such
weights from a ceiling fan stores in Singapore or buy them
online.
4.In Case The Wobbling Persist, Then You May Be Having A
Problem Associated With Warped Blades
To check on whether your blades are warped or not, you are
to use a screw driver to remove carefully each and every
blade. Arrange them neatly at the table and check them
properly. The warped blades will not lie flat on a flat
table. Eliminate the warped blades and check on the
specifications including the size and the power rating. This
will assist you as you will be required to buy new blades to
replace the warped blades. After having all the
specifications of the blades, you are to look for the best
store in Singapore to buy new ones. After buying, you are to
fix them back and your fan will work properly. Besides, you
can buy the blades online from the authorized online
dealers.
