Diagnosing A Noisy Ceiling Fan
A noisy ceiling fan can drive you crazy with it’s constantly irritating sound. The imperishable noise disturbs the integrity of the room and consequently drives you crazy.
Often the problem is considered much more complicated than it actually is. Even a novice can handle the task of altering the mechanization of the ceiling fan in order to fix the issue provided that the correct logic is applied.
Make way for a general test by keeping the fan turned off for 1 day and then turn it on to detect any noise. If noise persists then follow the subsequent mending operations. Check the setup of the installed ceiling fan to reason out any error. If a fault is detected then correct it accordingly following the instructions that came with the fan’s manual.
If however a steady installation of the fan is discovered then move on to the next step. Screw the nuts and bolts of the blades tightly so as to eliminate any possibility of a loose blade. Also apply oil on the surface of the screws to balance the friction between the screws and the blades. Next turn on the fan to its highest speed and hear the fan for any noise.
Start working on the proper balancing of the ceiling fan blades as wobbling blades most often are the root causes of the emergence of unnecessary sounds. Since the imbalanced blades don’t cut through the air properly, they give rise to noise. A re-balancing kit specially available for balancing the ceiling fan blades has to be employed in the mending work. Attach the weight or penny from the kit to either of the fan blades and turn on the fan to check for any noise. Keep repeating the test with the subsequent blades until the noise disappears. Also keep altering the position of the weight on the blades accordingly.
In addition check whether the blades are set at a common angle to each other and if found deterring, gently adjust to the appropriate angle.
The fan canopy and the rod can be checked to see they are not hampering the free movement of the fan. Also clean out any foreign material if found accumulated inside the canopy.
If all the attempts to dissipate the noise from the ceiling fan are going in vain then call an electrician to handle the situation as the problem may lie with the internal motor and the associated copper binding.
