TROUBLE SHOOTING
FAN WILL NOT START:
1. Check all fuses or circuit breakers. Replace if missing.
2. Turn off electrical power and check all wire connections to fan and in switch housing.
FAN IS NOISY:
1. Use of standard light rheostat or continuously variable fan speed wall control will always cause harmonic distortions,
or a humming noise. Many fan motors do not work quietly with solid state variable controls. If a quiet wall control in
desired, use only 3-speed approved wall controls.
2. Always allow a few days "break in" time for any new fan at medium or high speed. Try to diagnose the exact location of
the noise by listening carefully from several sides (blades, motor, light kits, etc.). Fan noise can come from a light kit.
3. Make sure mounting bracket is installed snugly to junction box.
4. Make sure wire nuts in switch housing or canopy are not rattling against each other or against wall of housing. Wrap
with electrical tape if necessary.
5. Make sure the canopy is not touching the ceiling.
6. Assure that the screws fastening blade arm to motor are tight and the lock washers provided for that purpose have
been used.
FAN TURNS BUT DOES NOT MOVE MUCH AIR:
1. The fan may be running in reverse, so air is directed upward (winter mode).
2. The room may contain items that obstruct the air flow.
3. The fan may be too small for size of the room.
FAN SHAKES OR WOBBLES:
1. A small amount of movement is considered acceptable and should not be considered a defect.
2. Make sure mounting bracket is tight at junction box/ceiling with no movement at all. Tighten screws if necessary.
3. Make sure all screws holding the blades to the blade arm and blade arm to motor are tight. Make sure light kit/glass
screws are tight.
4. Some fan movement is normal. However, interchanging and adjacent (side-by-side) blade pair may redistribute the
weight and result in smooth operation.
5. Most fan wobble 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 as shown in picture. Measurements should always be within 1/8". Rotate
the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade.
