shaking is bcos your installer DOESNT know HOW to fix a KDK ceiling fan!!!
you need to get a certified installer to do the balancing.

My KDK oso shaking of i switch to the max fan speed... had asked KDK pple to come check... they say the allowance for away from the wall not enuff thus causing the backflow to be not stable...

After doing some research... i think KDK fans needed a wider clearance away from the wall as compared to other brands...

Will avoid KDK ceiling fans from now on...

Guys,
Be aware that kdk has different factories ie in spore and malaysia. Kdk spore is of better quality then Malaysian made. I've 1 wall mounted type exhaust fan with 24hrs on! The lifespan is over 9 years!!!

I bought 2 KDK Ceiling fans from Jln Besar 9 years ago. Both installed by my downstairs electrician. But one of them remote spoil cannot start the stupid thing. The other going strong.

Maybe i should get the electrician to see if he can bypass the remote module and just use the wall switch. hmm...

both fans cost me S$160 each. install cost me S$30 from uncle downstairs

the shop is called Maximum Credit or Hong Liang Electrical. TS can call for a quote ...

The name sounds like Ah Loong...Hahahaha
Anyway, their electrical stuffs are really cheaper compared to those big shops like Courts. Talk to the fat guy in 40s and he is the boss.

Have 3 KDK ceiling fans. After the ID did up my place I checked and 2 fans were ok but one had a cricking noise, like machiam got stones inside the fan. :s13: The contractor came back to reinstall it and after that ok.

Before I signed over and paid the ID for the balance, I did a mini "stress test" by turning all 3 fans on full blast for an hour. No noise (except the whirring from the wind) and no visible shaking of the fan.

Has been over a year now and touchwood, so far so good. I guess some of you are either sway or the guy who installed it for you is hopeless.

Just wanted to share with everyone with the good experience I had buying from YES electrical (JB)... Picked out the one that I wanted (Which is a KDK 150cm ceiling fan with LED light, model K15U2)... I can't really remember exactly how much I paid but it was definitely cheaper than in Sillypore... The equalvalent model is R60VW in Singapore is selling for $698 based on the online store price...

http://www.kdk.sg/products/ceiling-fan/remote-controlled/r60vw.html

I know I would have paid less than $350 including the installation...


I also asked about installation & it so happened there was an installer at their shop, the boss reccomended me to use him...I took his name card & arranged for the installation with the guy...


The installer's name is Alex (He's a Malaysian)... Alex is very busy all the time so you will need to arrange with him in advance for installation... Nice young boy...


Installation was done professionally & he also explained to me the process when he was doing the install...


Just to say that Alex only had time to do my install more than a week later after I contacted him, I tried searching for another installer as I wanted to get my ceiling fan installed earlier...


The Singapore installers told me like that they don't install things that was bought in Malaysia, I had a false ceiling in my HDB, they said oh this one cannot, we don't install with the unit partially hidden in the false ceiling & the best one that I spoke to oh this one $150 for the install but that is excluding workmanship for opening a hole in the false ceiling plus covering back...


Eventually Alex managed to drop by my place to do the install... I must say no regrets... Not only did he do a good job but at the agreed price of SGD$80... That's including opening a small hole in my false ceiling to mount the ceiling fan directly on the ceiling & sealing the hole... He also does the balancing for the ceiling fan... My ceiling fan does not move at all after the install was completed...


In my experience do not let the Singapore installers bull**** you that the ceiling fan cannot be installed in the false ceiling... I watched the entire install for my ceiling fan... The ceiling fan has a rod (This is attached to a bracket mounted on the ceiling) & loose wires, top portion is just a cover to hide all the wiring & stuff, this does not contain any motor etc (Like one of the Singapore installers told me)... It is perfectly ok to mount this in the false ceiling (The cover / housing is actually 50% hidden inside the false ceiling)... And my house is a HDB flat with a ceiling height of 2.6m to 2.7m, this is actually ok (The Singapore installer told me this ceiling fan is meant for private property with more 3.0m height ceiling height and above)... After the install I was enjoying the cool breeze throughout the night... [:)]


I hope this post will help everyone who is interested to buy things from JB... There is actually nothing wrong in buying things from JB... The prices in JB are alot cheaper than Singapore even though I had to get someone to install it... Total price is still lower than in Singapore including installation charges...


Last thing I'm going to add is the contact of Alex my installer... Highly reccomended & he will be able to help you...

Sorry dude... Not sure about that... You will need to contact him directly for this... But from what I remember during our conversation he will likely still charge $80 for house visits / installations / etc... But you can negotiate with him...
