Hello, I have a ceiling fan 44F8, motor C0006, but I don't have the screws to intall it on the ceiling nor the screws to attach the.. well not sure what the name is..perpelars? Where can I buy the screws for this fan?

Ceiling Fans making a Grinding Sound. If it's a grinding your hearing, most likely the ball bearings in the motor are bad. Some ceiling fans have flywheels that attach the blades to the motor. If the flywheel is sagging or has broken, the blade irons might be scraping on the top of the switch cup housing.

Several things can cause a ceiling fan to wobble. The most of common of which is loose screws in the fan blade irons , that attach to the fan's motor. Just one loose screw can cause significant wobble and at times, an annoying noise. The other, which is more serious, is that the plastic ball on the top end of the down rod, that attaches to the electrical outlet bracket, is improperly installed. It generally has a groove in it, that must be installed so that it fits over the tang in the bracket. The tang keeps the ball in place. To inspect it, you will need to loosen the screw on the ceiling cowl, so that it slides down the down rod. If the ball is not resting in the bracket properly, lift the fan up by the down rod and put the plastic ball in the proper position. Be sure the wall switch for each fan you work on is turned OFF, before attempting in inspection or repair.

While you're at it, make sure the ceiling/electrical box bracket is tight to the the ceiling and is level,

Hope this helped you troubleshoot and solve the wobbly problem. Please let me know. Thanks.

Don't know which brand ceiling fab you have, but almost all mount the same way. You have completed most of what needs to be done. So, now you need to remove the ceiling cowl, that slides up and down on the down rod. There should be 2-3 screws in the top outer edge of the cowl. If you remove those, the cowl will slide down the rod. After that, unscrew the wiring nuts, that connect the fan's wiring to the house wiring. Don't forget to disconnect the copper ground wire, too. Then the ball on the end of the down rod shaft can be lifted out of the ceiling bracket.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISCONNECT ANY WIRES UNTIL THE CIRCUIT BREAKER FOR THAT CEILING OUTLET IS TURNED OFF. DON'T JUST RELY ON THE WALL SWITCH BEING OFF.

Hope this helped you in the removal of the ceiling fan. Please let me know. Thanks.

It may not be the motors making the noise, but the blade irons that are attached to the motor are loose and are rubbing the housing.

To confirm this, turn the fans OFF. When the blades stop turning, use a step ladder to reach the fan blades and the blade irons. Using a Phillips head screw driver, attempt to tighten each blade iron screw (2 in each iron), that screws into the fan motor spindle. I suspect, you'll find one or more loose. Especially if, the lock washer wasn't installed on each screw.

Hope this helps you solve the problem. If it doesn't, contact Hunter per the instructions in your Owners Manual. As there is a slim chance that there is a manufacturer's defect involved.

You don't. There's no place to oil ANY ceiling fan, not just the Hunter line. All ceiling fans use sealed ball bearings in the motors. They are lubricated for life. If you're experiencing a squealing noise, it would be best to take it down, pack if up and take it back where you bought it. No ceiling fan should squeal, let alone one as expensive as a Hunter.

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.
