Troubleshooting Guide
If you have difficulty operating your new ceiling fan, it may be the result of incorrect assembly, installation or wiring. In some cases, these installation errors may be mistaken for defects. If you experience any faults, please check this Troubleshooting Guide.
| PROBLEM | SUGGESTED REMEDY |
|---|---|
| 1. If fan does not start: | 1.Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit |
breakers.
2.Check line wire connections to fan and switch wire connections in switch
housing.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off.
3.Make sure that the wall control is turned “ON”.
2. If fan sounds noisy:| 1.Make sure all screws in motor housing are snug.
(not too tight)
2.Make sure the screws which attach the fan blade bracket to the motor are
tight
3.Make sure wire connectors in switch housing are not rattling against each
other or against the interior wall of the switch housing.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off before accessing switch housing.
4.Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed
controls. DO NOT USE a Solid State variable speed control.
5.Allow “break-in” period of 24 hours. Most noises associated with a new fan
will disappear after this period.
3. If fan wobbles:| All blades are weighed and grouped by weight. Natural
woods vary in density which could cause the fan to wobble even though all
blades are weight-matched. The following procedures should eliminate most of
the wobble. Check for wobble after each step.
1.Check that all blades are screwed firmly into blade brackets.
2.Check that all blade brackets are tightened securely to motor.
3.Make sure that canopy and mounting bracket are tightened securely to ceiling
junction box and junction box is mounted firmly to ceiling joist.
4.Most fan wobble problems are caused when blades are not equally level. To
check the blade levels, select a point on the ceiling above the tip of any
blade. Measure the distance from the ceiling to the blade tip, to an accuracy
of 1/8 inch. Rotate the blades until the next blade is in the measuring
position. Repez measurement for each blade. If all blade levels are not equal,
you can adjust blade levels by the following procedure. To adjust a blade tip
down, insert a washer (not supplied) between the blade and blade bracket at
the screw closest to the motor. To adjust a blade tip up, insert washer (not
supplied) between the blade and blade bracket at the two screws farthest from
the motor
5.If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by
side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother
operation.
4. If light does not work:| 1.Check blue wire from fan to make sure it is
connected to hot wire from house.
2.Check for loose or disconnected wires in fan switch housing.
3.Check for loose or disconnected wires in light kit.
4.Check for faulty LED module.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off before accessing switch housing.
DYNAMIC BLADE BALANCING KIT
PREFACE
Your ceiling fan may sometimes have wobbling problems when operating due to
irregularity in the blades or the blade brackets. Improper assembly in the
mounting system may cause some additional problems. This balancing kit can be
used to fix wobbling problems.
DYNAMIC BLADE BALANCING KIT FOR CEILING FANS
- Make sure that all blades are firmly screwed into the blade brackets.
- Make sure that all blade brackets are firmly secured to the motor housing.
- By looking up at the fan from below, check and be certain that none of the blade brackets are bent and that none of the blades are out of position.
- Use a yardstick to check the blade tracking. Put the yardstick up against the ceiling vertically and against the outside leading edge of a blade.
Note the distance of the edge of blade to the ceiling. Carefully turn the blades slowly by hand to check the remaining blades. All distances should be the same. Operate the fan ten minutes. After following all the steps and if the wobbling problem is not solved, a dynamic balancing needs to be done with balancing kit. Follow the procedure listed below:
• Turn the fan off. Select one blade and place the plastic clip on it, with the plastic clip located halfway between the blade bracket and the blade tip on the edge of the blade.
Caution: The plastic clip should be placed on the windward edge of the blade for fear of clip flying off.
• Turn the fan on (set the speed that causes the wobble most). Observe if the wobble is better or worse. Turn the fan off and move the clip to the next blade. Do the same for all blades and note on which blade the clip reduces the wobble most. Place the clip on the blade which showed the most improvement. Move the clip inward and outward on this blade and operte the fan to find the position where the clip gives the most improvement. Caution: Stay clear of the blades. If the clip, for any reason, is not secure, injury could result.
• Once the exact position is determined, place a weight on the top of the blade, on its centerline and as close as possible to the clip. Peel the paper off of the back of the weight and press firmly to ensure that it is securely attached to the blade. Remove the clip.
Caution: Clean the surface of fan blade before placing the balancing weight so that the balancing weight will be firmly attached to it.
