Fan is wobbling

Is your ceiling fan experiencing wobble during operation? Follow these troubleshooting steps.

If your fan is experiencing wobble, you could have an issue with a portion of the installation process. Common sources of wobble are loose blade seatings or instabilities in the fan mount or junction box.

1. Verify the airfoils are fully seated and are not loose. Also, verify that the airfoil hardware is fully tightened. Do not use power tools.
2. Verify that the mounting ball and downrod assembly are properly seated in the mounting bracket. The metal wedge that secures the downrod must be fully seated inside the mounting ball, and the set screw should be fully tightened.
3. Ensure that the cutout in the mounting ball is properly aligned and resting on the rib inside the mounting bracket.
4. Confirm the fan is mounted to a junction box rated for ceiling fans (minimum 35 lbs). The junction box must be securely fastened to a joist, wood block, or approved mounting brace and sit flush with the ceiling surface.
5. Make sure the mounting bracket is tightly secured to the junction box using both mounting screws. The bracket should not move when pushed from different angles.
