Ceiling Fan Slow Speed Problem

This video will give some insight into replacing the capacitor in a ceiling fan.

Ceiling fan slow speed problem.

Follow the steps below to determine the cause. This is where not all the speeds are functioning as they should. Checking for the proper lubrication. Is your fan running slow.

Balancing for improved. Possible causes are poor installation a capacitor fault or failure and incorrect setting up of the wall or remote control receiver. I m not an electrician or ceiling fan expert. If you are using a remote or.

Our ceiling fan was not turning at full speed when selecting high speed the. Unfortunately you cannot repair it your will have to replace it instead with a matching capacitor. Luckily finding out the source of the problem is not all that difficult. I would guess that the second position is either mis wired or on an overloaded circuit.

Troubleshooting a slow ceiling fan troubleshooting a slow fan. If the ceiling fan is operating the way it should check out the wall control. Watch this video as this will help you troubleshoot and repair it under 10. In this case replace the reverse switch.

A problem with the bearings a blade out of balance or a bad capacitor. With the fan turned off and stopped spin the fan blade with your hand. If you have an older ceiling fan the switch may be worn out. The other possibility would be that the switch that controls the second position is somehow set to a slower speed perhaps it is set or broken on low.

In case the performance of your ceiling fan has lowered and its blades are rotating in a slower motion but it is for none of the reasons given above then it may have a problem with the split capacitor motor. A faulty installation loose wires or shorted wires can cause the fan to lose speed. 5 the fan makes a humming noise. A blade that is.

There are three main culprits for a slowing fan. Confirm the reverse switch is not in a neutral position. Over time the bearings in the fan can become gummed up from dirt and oil. There are a variety of reasons for this one but it is usually due to a screw tightening issue.

Larger ceiling fans use oil contained in a reservoir that lubricates the bearing. A problem with the ceiling fan speed does not necessarily have to be caused in the fan itself. Essentially we ll use process of elimination to get to the root of the problem.
