Hi all, We wanted to provide you with some help from our tech team about ticking fans. This isn't a final draft of the video but we thought the content was still worth sharing. We will be re-releasing this video in a few weeks.
The fans that wobble and tick are usually the ones you get at Home Depot for $100 to $200 in my experience I would recommend you at least spend $300 to $400 for a ceiling fan especially if it's sitting above your bed and has the potential to come down on you.
I was watching this hope it could help me and I gona try some of the things, but the ticking/tapping I hearing ONLY happens on Meduim speed, it low and high speed is quiet, what could cause only medium speed to do that
I have a brand new fan and it clicks. When I first turn it on, it's ok, but after about 5-10 minutes, it starts clicking. If something was loose, wouldn't it click as soon as I turn it on?
I found the culprit of the ge phantom fan . The culprit being it's a piece of shit . Poorly made the fan motor is unbalanced even before the blades go on . The blade arms are not balanced .
Installed a new fan, had a bunch of clicking, double checked the mount and it was the nut used to join the cables hitting the motor. Bent it out of the way, works silently now
My Hampton Roads ceiling fan was clicking. The screws holding the fans blades on are 6 star design. Never seen it before and, of course, don't have a screw head that fits! Tried tightening the other screws that I could see, but nothing was loose. There is a clip holding the rod in place that could be the culprit - so I pushed it up to the point where it was tight. Turned the fan on and it still made the ticking sound - although a bit softer. So I reached out and pushed the bottom of the fan a little - and the sound stopped! Apparently it has something to do with the way the top ball is seated. Good video btw...
Is there any hope if it's definitely something loose inside the motor housing? I can't figure out how to open that up, at least without tearing the whole thing down first.
Was trying to take an afternoon nap but the fan kept clicking so I watched this. I suspected the ball join was not in the groove that you mentioned and tried to twist it into place and it dropped down right away. The clicking persists but is much quieter.
I tightened up screws on the blades(to the blade and to the base) and it didn't work. He mentioned jostling the poll around to see if it was out of it's socket. I grabbed ahold of the base and turned it tight left and it fixed things.
hi VideoJoeKnows.. m also getting clicking problem like you when I put on supply to the ceiling fan. but the difference is it doesn't do rotations, as in its getting stuck with clicky noises. any leads on that?
My fan knocks like crazy. It has a bit of sway, but it's on a 3ft down rod. I was going to post a video to see if anyone could help. i knowthis video is older, but hopefully this message reaches someone that can help.... I'm going insane, and it's getting so hot down here in FL.. Thanks!
Are you serious? He’s not a professional actor! He’s a guy at a fan store taking his time to record and post a video for free that will help people. Gimme a break!
