Problems with your ceiling fans are easy to detect but hard to troubleshoot, so hiring an experienced <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brooklineelectric.com\/\">electrical contractor<\/a> for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brooklineelectric.com\/Ceiling-Fan-Repairs.php\">ceiling fan repairs<\/a> is a good idea. The main components of typical ceiling fan models include the mounting device, blades, and electric motor and housing. <\/p>\n<h2>Common Ceiling Fan Problems<\/h2>\n<div class=\"highlight-box\">\n<ul>\n<li> <strong>Ceiling Fan Doesn&#8217;t Work<\/strong> \u2013 Your ceiling fan can stop working because of multiple complications with your electrical system. The circuit breaker can trip, a wire connection can be faulty, a ceiling fan model can be defective, or a reverse switch can be in the neutral position. An electrical contractor can work with you to determine the cause of your ceiling fan malfunction.\n<li> <strong>Ceiling Fan Is Making Noise<\/strong> \u2013 If your ceiling fan is making an unusual noise, it may require an adjustment. Cracked or unbalanced fan blades, rattling wire connections, and loose screws can also cause strange ceiling fan noises. <\/li>\n<li> <strong>Speed Settings Aren&#8217;t Working<\/strong> \u2013 If you notice an abrupt change in air circulation, your speed settings may not work, but your electrical contractor can clean and lubricate the ball bearings and replace the ceiling fan capacitor. The motor should be replaced if the motor gets hot while the fan is on. A fan stuck at a low speed is usually caused by a damaged pull cord, and a fan stuck at a high speed is likely a capacitor problem. <\/li>\n<li> <strong>Ceiling Fan and Light Kit Turns On and Off<\/strong> \u2013 Faulty wire connections and a malfunctioning circuit breaker can make your ceiling fan or light kit turn on and off suddenly.<\/li>\n<li> <strong>Ceiling Fan Is Wobbly<\/strong> \u2013 A wobbly ceiling fan is bothersome and disconcerting. The wobbling can be caused by dusty or warped blades, loose screws, and bent blade brackets. Correct the wobbliness by dusting the fan blades, stabilizing the mounting device, and tightening any loose screws. <\/li>\n<li> <strong>Pull Cord Is Broken<\/strong> \u2013 Your ceiling fan&#8217;s setting will get stuck if the pull cord breaks, but many ceiling fan types can be fixed by replacing the cord switch unit. Before repairing or replacing a damaged pull cord, turn off your circuit breaker. <\/li>\n<li> <strong>Ceiling Fan Doesn&#8217;t Reverse<\/strong> \u2013 A ceiling fan that won&#8217;t reverse is likely caused by a reversal switch that is either worn out or in neutral. You may also have to turn off the fan and wait for the blades to stop before flipping the reversal switch. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><br clear=\"all\"><\/p>\n<p>If a ceiling fan in your Bayshore home isn&#8217;t working properly and you can&#8217;t figure out why, contact Brookline Electric Co., a trusted electrical contractor. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You probably own at least two ceiling fans in your Bayshore home, so you&#8217;re familiar with ceiling fan complications.
