Need to uninstall the fan as it has become a bit loose from the ceiling

Sounds like it is possibly a wire came loose. There are usually 2 wires that connect to the black wire (hot lead) in the ceiling. One is black, the other blue (for the light) If this is not the case, there are other electrical 'glitches' that can cause the problem, and the fan needs to be replaced.

Loose connecton on the receptical (bulb socket). Also in the ligh scoket in the center there is a connector. it may need to to be raised up. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHECK WITH POWER ON
KILL POWER AT MAINB BREAKER.

Also check all wire nuts for loose or corroded connections

The fan blades appear to be out of balance. First, check the screws that hold the fan blade irons to the fan motor. Tighten all that may be loose. If that doesn't solve the problem. the fan hanger bracket behind the ceiling cowl cover may be loose (it's attached with thin screws). In addition, the electrical box, that the hanger is attached to, may have come loose from the ceiling joist. If the electrical box has come loose, the box will need to be reattached to the joist with 1 1/2" long screws.

Hope this helps to solve the problem.

Hi .. no you should be able to just drop the canopy cover ,, and be able to see what is loose at the ceiling .. it may be the mounting plate where it connects tio the ceiling box.

check the hard wiring from the factory. Where the light kit attaches to the fan check the wires in the factory cubes to make sure none are coming off. I had a similar problem that kicked my **** for a few minutes but I saw a loose wire after a bit of research. My fan also clicked but never turned on. Also pull the chains on the fan/light to make sure they are on. Hope something works for you.

I was able to resolve the problem. It turned out that the light fixture part that I had received from the associate at The Home Depot was the wrong one. I needed a 3 speed not a 2 speed replacement part. However, I ended up not even needing that. Once I took the fan apart and watched it malfunction, I could see that the clear part holding the fixture rope on my older fan had another circular piece in the center that had become loose but had not fallen out. I simply used a very small piece of blue paint tape to seal back in place. Since the area doesn't get hot, I found this to be a suitable solution. Thanks for your help.

Buy a drill and drill bit and make a hole in the bracket where needed. To make installation easier, use a larger that needed drill bit and add washer to screw, won't look as professional but you are not a professional anyway. Who goes around looking at ceiling fan mounts anyway???

It is possible. Unless you know a bit of electronics, it would be difficult to do the conversion. You have to study the control circuitry of the old and new ceiling fan. You are lucky if it is a pin-to-pin direct conversion. An electronics techinician at your location can do it easily...I guess.

hi! condenser is fault in fan! so only your fan run slowly! put high voltage condenser! then the run run fastly!

Hello jluiken,
The motor in the fan is going bad. Unfortunately it will not be cost effective to repair the item as you will be doing an overhaul on the main component. It would be cheaper for you to just purchase a new one. If you leave the fan on for a long period of time you will see that it will become hotter and hotter, which could be a fire hazard so please be careful. Sorry for the bad news.


If you do not mind, please rate my help, I would greatly appreciate it.Thanks
