TROUBLESHOOTING
VENTILATEUR NE FONCTIONNE PAS
•
Check all fuses or circuit breakers. Replace if
missing.
•
Turn off electrical power and check all check all
wire connections to fan and in switch housing.
•
FAN IS NOISY
•
Always allow a few days “break in” time for any
new fan at medium or high speed. Try to
diagnose the exact location of the noise by
listening carefully from several sides (blades,
motor, light kit, etc.) Fan noise can come from
a light kit.
•
Make sure all screws in the fan assembly and
light kit are tight and properly threaded. If not,
back out and retighten. Tighten these screws
at least once a year because they may loosen
slowly over time and cause a clicking noise.
•
Make sure the light kit is securely fastened to
the fan, and all glass screws are finger
tightened only. Do not tighten with pliers or
a screwdriver.
•
Make sure mounting bracket is installed snugly to
junction box.
•
Make sure wire nuts in switch housing or
canopy are not rattling against each other
or against wall of housing .Wrap with
electrical tape if necessary.
•
Use of standard light rheostat or unapproved
wall control will always cause harmonic
distortions, or a humming noise .Many fan
motors do no work quietly with solid state
variable controls. If a quiet wall control is
desired, use only approved wall controls.
•
Make sure the canopy is not touching the
ceiling.
•
Assure that the screws fastening the
blade holders to the motor are tight
and the lock washers provided for that
purpose have been used.
•
Make sure all light bulbs are fully screwed in.
FAN TURNS BUT DOES NOT MOVE MUCHAIR:
•
The fan may be running in reverse, so air is
directed upward.
•
The room may contain items that obstruct the
airflow.
•
The fan may be too small for size of the room.
FAN SHAKES OR WOBBLES:
A small amount of wobble is considered
acceptable and should not be
considered a defect. Use of any light kit,
especially a large 4 or 5 light kit will usually
induce some wobble.
•
Make sure the mounting bracket is tight
at junction box/ceiling with no
movement at all. Tighten screws if
necessary.
•
Make sure all screws holding the blades to
the blade arm and blade arm to motor
are tight. Make sure light kit/glass screws
are tight.
•
Some fan movement is normal. However,
interchanging an adjacent(side-by-side)
blade pair may redistribute the weight and
result in smoother operation.
•
If a balancing kit is provided, use it if needed.
