Ceiling fan issue..

[garth6]

Hi,

Anyone has experienced hearing clicking sounds after cleaning the blades of the ceiling fan and knows what to do about those sounds?

Look like the blade not even after the cleaning done....my fanco got this problem too

i using samaire, after the 1st cleaning still ok, but 2nd time my wife go clean, the clicking sound got upgraded..
i wonder issit because of the blades' balance or what..

 

[luei74]

U can try to readjust a little bit and check if the clicking sound reduce...for mine the sound not so obvious n on n off...so sometimes juz ignore it

Hi Garth6,

Sorry to hear that your fan is producing weird sound. Maybe the blade is not aligned?

If you interested to replace your fan, I'm trying to sell away my extra kdk ceiling fan. see my link below

I had the same issue as yours. When called the technician, we were quoted $120 for replacement of motor.

if sound persist and get louder - get ready to replace fan.

isn't most fanco fans life time warranty for motor?

Maybe not for all models? The ones that were repaired were at my parents' place, FFM 2000.

If you look at the features, it state life-time warranty ( motor only )

Mostly fans problem is because of capacitor. Check that first... motor if spoilt, it won't turn ay all...

If you just bought it in dec last year, it should be still under warranty.
so better go get it fix while you can.
But the case you said can be balancing issues and also can be other issues.
Warranty don't cover balancing issues as like you said. You or your wife may have accidentally screw up the balancing of the blade and sometimes home owner got their own people to install the fan but they never do the balancing.
In this kind of cases, you may have to pay for the service charges.
