Fix unbalanced fan blades on attic fan.
In such cases either balance them out or replace the blades entirely.
If one of the blades on a ceiling fan has any more than 2 or 3 grams weight difference from one to another this is enough to cause ceiling fan wobble.
If the fan still wobbles keep moving the clothespin from blade to blade until you find the culprit.
The last remaining option is to replace your attic fan with a new and quieter model.
When the outdoor fan or condenser fan blades are out of alignment the fan vibrates like it is out of balance.
So i fixed it.
I measured the blades from the cieling just like he said and one was about a half inch lower.
It may be due to a low quality ceiling fan but it could also be due to a balancing issue.
My ceiling fan had been wobbling for weaks so i deided i was going to buy a balancing kit but before i did i watched this video.
You can fix the unbalanced blade with some coins or a blade balancing kit.
If it doesn t you ve found the unbalanced blade.
To get out the old motor blades from within the attic i had to bend a support arm attached to the housing.
Perhaps you don t feel like repairing it or you can t find the right parts either.
Turn the fan on a low speed and see if it still wobbles.
Now when it turns on i could tell from the spin that the blades are not even.
But the blades got caught on the support arm.
This may keep your fan from being so annoying while it s operating.
I fixed that and fan no longer wobbles.
If the motor isn t working you will need an attic fan motor replacement or attic replacement fan.
The blade bracket was bent.
If your ceiling fan wobbles and makes more racket than an unbalanced washing machine load read on.
If mismatched blades is causing your fan to wobble you can purchase a ceiling fan balancing kit to attempt to balance the blades.
I explore ways to repair this.
This attic fan motor is the most expensive repair for attic exhaust fans.
This is something that can occur even in regular ceiling fans as a consequence of regular use.
Attic fans usually last around 4 5 years if they re used regularly.
After that different parts get worn down and require fixing or replacement.
My friends fan was wobbling and shaing.
So i pushed the blades a little.
Thanks for the video really did help.
After you realize that it s not an electrical or thermostat problem the chances of it being a problem with the motor are quite high.
So when i put in the new fan i unbent the support arm as much as i could.
Balance the ceiling fan blades.
Get a quieter attic fan.
