How can I learn how to make my ceiling fan stop wobbling?
Let’s start at the beginning. A wobbling fan may fall. That would be a bad thing. Turn of the power at the breaker and lower the fan’s bell housing, to expose the electrical box. Is the box fan rated? Is the box firmly attached to the ceiling joist? Does the fan solidly connect to the box? If any of these answers are no, then you need to fix the problem for safety reasons and to prevent damage to the building. Check the blades for signs of damage. A blade that has struck an obstacle will have some indication of the impact on the leading edge. If you have a damaged blade, you’ll need a new set of blades. Remember, there is a fair amount of force produced by the motion of a wobbling fan. This motion, the longer it goes on, can create an unsafe condition.
