Background and Identification
Ceiling fans deteriorate with usage producing issues such as noises, vibration, and heating. Repair begins with knowing the function of each part of the fan and how to identify the source of the problem. Here are some common ways to identify what could be wrong with your ceiling fans and repair strategies:
- Shrill, screeching noises can be fixed with a little lubrication of the bearings. If your fan starts making a ticking noise, it’s probably due to the wear and tear of the rivets. With constant use over a long time, the rivets become loose and then the blades start to vibrate, causing this noise. The best solution here would be to tighten the rivets and replace the blades with new ones.
- A burning smell indicates that the coil windings are burnt. Though this usually means that it is time for you to get a new fan, in some cases when the damage isn’t too big, the fan can be repaired. However if the winding is not done correctly, it will lead to unnecessary energy loss
- If suddenly your fan will not turn on, it may be a case of a tripped circuit breaker or loose connections in the fan canopy and the switch housing. To fix this issue, first, switch off the fan and check what exactly is causing the problem. If the circuit breaker has tripped, first move it to the “off” position and then push it to the “on” position. Also, make sure that the reverse switch isn’t in the neutral position. In case of a failed capacitor, just replace it with one having a similar rating and your fan should work again.
