First clean the ceiling fan, then make all of the blade irons in the right shape, then if it still wobbles, it means that the blades are out of balance. Then you can buy balancing kit. I saw a video of Hunter Innova wobbling but the blade arms doesn't seem bent at all.

One of the more time consuming and tedious jobs on the planet.

[pakman122298]

This is so fucking complicated I don't think I will ever understand

[tusnturn]

in many cases the reason for the imbalance is caused by somene throwing something and striking one of the blades

[chikotube]

FIRST loosen all the screws on your blade and then "cock" all the blades in one direction while you re-tighten all the screws. that way all the blades have the same "alignment" which usually solves most imbalance issues.

[ringelos]

I KNOW HOW TO FIX IT!!!! Screw in the screws tighter....

[park0608]

Thats a Casablanca Delta II if it had Casablanca blades and brackets it wouldbe fine but it has standard blades and brackets... so thats why the fan is messed up. Casablanca uses plywood blades vs MDF on most modern fans including the blades you had on that Delta II

thank you, I had the balancing kit but was putting the clip on the blade halfway lengthwise. Obviously it was working. I will try putting it on the tip like you did, I hope I can fix it. It is really annoying.

[PicklesReallySuck]

what kind of wizardry is this

[dvrman]

Arguing over ceiling fan balancing? You guys should try this thing called "getting laid".

[oiyabastard]

@dvrman hahahaha

But my fan swings back and forth because it is attached to the box by a rotating ball. It's frustrating because I have gone to my hardware store to get these "quick fix" kits before and I really feel I have wasted money. I don't think weights are the answer.

great video i just fixed my fan thanks...

[goofyliciouS]

just take the fan down and assemble it again you damn lazy americans jeez....

[piercetheorganist]

Nice fan -- it's a "Delta II" model by Casablanca. And no, a wobbling fan isn't dangerous, it won't loosen anything. Both fans and fan boxes are designed in such a way as to have lock pins (or other locking devices) which nullify torsional effect. I know; I run a ceiling fan company. Just my $0.02

[netjem]

Ceiling fans wobble because the mounting screws are loose OR the fan box itself is not level and or loose.

balancing kits are for idiots.

Take the fan down and tighten the box.

[piercetheorganist]

Wrong, idiot. Fans wobble because the blades are out of alignment with each other, either in terms of weight, size, shape (Y-axis parabola), Z-axis pitch, or X-axis pitch. It doesn't matter whether the ceiling is level, whether it's smooth, whether the box is loose, or whether there even is a box at all.

[elliottveares]

when you try it,try it on the fastest speed then it will be ballenced on all speeds.

[zzpank33r]

right on!

[Cargo1273]

Right on what! I'am in the ceiling fan industry. I know what I'm saying, you got that.

[zzpank33r]

hey... this video was made for people that dont work in the ceiling fan industries, also for people that dont read instructions... lol (i include myself in that lot :P) i dont see the big deal in saying "right on" when I learn something new... o.O

[piercetheorganist]

I don't believe you. I, for one, work in the ceiling fan industry -- go to sevillefans dawt com -- and you're only about 80% right on the things you mentioned, and you left plenty of stuff out. To boot, I think that you're an insecure, domineering ass. Just my $0.02

[Cargo1273]

Nothing new or of educational value here. ALL ceiling fans sold have the balance weight kit included. And only 1% of the fans sold required the use of the balance kit. The high end manufacturers have taken a step further in making sure the blades are well-balance before leaving the factories. they're using micro balance technology which detect the slightness off gram on the blades and blade arms to prevent wobble. This guy is just wasting saliva.

[masterjego]

But you have to take account of the people that do not know how to do this or dont know about it so no hes not wasting anything.

[Cargo1273]

No. ALL ceiling fans come with easy to follow trilingual instructions to balance them in RARE case of wobble. So he is wasting saliva, because he's not telling you all how to really REPAIR a ceiling fan, just how to find a solution to a problem that's less than common in today's ceiling fans.
