8. TROUBLESHOOTING
FAN WILL NOT START
1.
Check that the electricity has been
turned on at the circuit breaker which had
probably been turned off during installation.
2.
Turn off the electricity. Check all
connections in the wiring of the fan at the
ceiling and make sure it follows the wiring
instructions outlined in this manual.
NOISE
NOTE:
Always allow a day or two
"run-in" time for any new fan at medium
or high speed. When attempting to diagnose
noise, listen carefully from several sides
to try and isolate the location of the noise
(blade, upper end, motor, light kit, etc.)
1.
Tighten all screws attaching blades to
blade arms. Remember to tighten these
screws at least once a year because they
may loosen slowly over time and cause a
clicking noise.
2.
Turn off the power. Loosen the canopy
and check that the wiring and/or wire nut
connectors are not resting against the
canopy, possibly vibrating while the fan is
on.
3.
Use of a standard light rheostat or an
unapproved fan wall control to control the
fan speed will always cause an annoying
"hum". Many fan motors do not work
quietly with solid state variable speed
controls.
4.
Check that the rubber gasket on the
mounting bracket has been installed if
called for in the installation instructions.
5.
Check that the canopy in not touching
the ceiling.
6.
Check that all screws on the motor
housing and the bottom housing are tight.
FAN TURNS, BUT DOES NOT MOVE
MUCH AIR
1.
The fan may be running in reverse.
The reverse switch located on the switch
housing. (see Fig. 16)
2.
The distance from the ceiling to the
blades may be too small. For downrod
fans, optimal placement would be 8-9 feet
from the floor.
3.
The room may contain items which
obstruct the air flow.
4.
The fan may be too small for the size
of the room.
EXCESSIVE WOBBLE
NOTE:
A small amount of wobble is
considered acceptable and should not be
considered a defect.
1.
Make certain all blades are tightly
attached to each blades' respective blade
arm.
