Roxywheels 05-29-2003, 07:44 AM I have no idea how old my ceiling fan is...it was here when I moved in 4 years ago. I'm sure its a cheap one...everything in this house is. With all of that said my ceiling fan is making a clicking noise and its driving me crazy. If I spray some WD40 on it will it help or screw something up? :roxy: landusepbb 05-29-2003, 07:49 AM Check and make sure the mounting to the ceiling is tight. Every time I've experienced that it is due to loose mounts and/or out of balance fan. WD won't hurt the motor.

Ditto the WD comment, can't hurt if all else fails.

That could mean that the ceiling support joist is rotten and/or infested with termites. I'd estimate that it will cost about $15,000 to fix it by the time you remove all the joists, replace them, then replace the ceiling![/homeinspector voice] :D TIKI 05-29-2003, 08:15 AM Originally posted by Roxywheels I'm guessing it shouldn't slightly wobble back and forth, huh? :confused: :laughing: :roxy: No thta would probably be a bad thing. Check all the screws and bolts then if you still hear it and it's out of balance try taping a washer to the top of the blades one by one to see if that helps the balance.

Let alone a ceiling fan???? JK, Usually if its wobbling around, a blade is out of balance. You can usually balance the fan blades out to get it to settle down, but I'd start with what these guys suggested. Corey | |
