A high speed wobbly ceiling fan will strike fear in the heart of anyone standing under it or even near it. An unbalanced fan could also end up with damage to the motor's bearing and bushings. This could lead to an irritating unnecessary fan noise. Using our Minka Aire Supra we will teach you to safely balance your ceiling fan. Don't forget, anytime you work on your ceiling fan be sure to turn the fan off at the breaker.

Thank you for not covering the history of ceiling fans before getting to the point. So many videos milk their minutes.
Great video 👌, thank you!
Holy crap, this has been going on for about three years, I've never been able to use the high settings on my fan without it wobbling and sounding like creaky bed springs. You guys are helping me get sleep on hot California summer nights. Thank you so much!

You didn't even took professional help for 3 years and suffered to wait for someone to put a video on RUclips brovo.

For 5 years our fan worked flawlessly & then one day it starts to wobble. Right away you start pondering the possibilities & of course you come up blank. Jump on RUclips & find an awesome informative video like this & bingo problem fixed. Now my wife thinks I’m a genius LOL. Thank you!!!
Absolute gangster doesn't waste time and provides solution. Excellent thank you
Quick, simple, thorough videos and instructions. Makes the handyman, that doesn't do this stuff ever day, look like he does. Very helpful. Puts confidence in, "Did I do everything?" Thanks.
Bingo! Thanks to your how-to video, it worked perfectly on a modern, high-tech, short bladed fan - that was located 18 feet high. Tightened mounting screws, and that did the trick! Thanks again! (Amazing how many household appliance problems I've solved and repaired using RUclips videos like yours!)
Wow. I had a wobbly ceiling fan in my home office ever since I moved into my new house two years ago. I replaced the blades thinking it was a balancing issue (they needed updating anyways) and it still wobbled violently so I just left it off and put it on the list of things to replace, which sucked because it looks nice with the new blades and I couldn't find anything new I liked better. Well, less than a minute into your video I rotated the fan motor about an inch and felt the hanger ball drop into the groove, and now it runs perfect. Thanks for all the money and hassle you just saved me!
Holy crap! The noise at night has been driving me crazy for almost 2 years. Did this and it's quiet as a mouse. Thank you so much!
Thanks, I'm making my husband watch your video so he can fix our fan! Your simple instructions are appreciated.
Too risky to do it yourself, eh?
Very helpful video. My fan doesn't wobble anymore! Thanks!
Colby, Thanks for taking the time to make this video. My fan isn't driving me crazy anymore. If I lived in Del Mar I'd buy you a beer.
Scott Killian So glad we could help Scott! :)
Scott Killian Why spend more on repairing a Ceiling Fan when you can purchase a new one at the repair cost of a ceiling fan.
I came across a site www.CeilingFanDirection.com which has most of the Hunter Fans that too at half the price as compare to the other online vendors..

No doubt Paul is the owner of that outlet he linked to. It's shameless advertising on a competitor's channel.
This was well done and to the point. Thanks
Scott Killian great idea!
Good, and to the point. My fan works perfect now, and my wife is happy.
Wow! The Husband's Exakta!

Anita Borquez, you’re what?
@@anitaborquez8664 you what??? We've been waiting a whole year.
Out with it.
Worked like a charm with my old ceiling fan. Had to re-tweak a couple of the paddles, but your instruction helped me to locate the cause and make the appropriate adjustments. Thanks!
+Rich Pinkerton Awesome! Glad we could help :) -Alexa
Showed my hubs your awesome, quick and simple video. And he was able to fix it within minutes! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this for all of us!😊😊
You are the first (and maybe only) person to provide this solution. Everyone tells you to add weights to the blade(s).. This not only makes good sense, but is logical as well. I'm in! And THANK YOU!!!
Short, clear and concise instruction! Thank you for the help!
Can't thank you enough bro. You saved me a brand new fan. I thought there was something wrong with the fan. I tried every which way to stop the wobble and didn't succeed till I watched this video. Thank you so much for helping people like me.
Just fixed my wobbly ceiling fan like a boss! Thx for the video!
Thanks for the short video. It probably could have been under one minute but thanks for keeping it short. Others will do a 10-minute video history of ceiling fans. Even reading all of the comments below was satisfying and confidence building. Can't wait to try it tomorrow.
Did the trick! Glad you had the suggestion to watch this video first in your "how to balance a fan" video. Thank you!
I used to watch this channel when I was a kid. I'm now a teenager and this is the first time watching this channel in years. It's good to be back.
Welcome back! :)
@@Delmarfans Thank you.😎
Excellent. Went out and bought a balancing kit before I watched this....can't believe I overlooked the obvious....tighten it up! Thanks for the advice!
Thanks to you I was able to fix a fan that I was about ready to replace. Great videos, much appreciated!
Excellent video. Clear, concise and great information without a bunch of fluff.
Thanks. I was trying to balance it. Turns out the screws under the housing WERE so loose. Almost out!!!!!! Glad I saw this. Thank you
RUclips rocks! Clear, simple, straightforward instructions.
Just wanted to thank you for the video. I had a extremely wobbly fan and though I was going to have to toss it after an attempt to balance the blades, which was useless. When I measured the blades from the ceiling, they were off by 2-3 inches. I bent them back to within about a 1/4 of an inch and it fixed the wobble.
Simple and clear instructions, need a new ring for the bracket vs a new fan. Thank you.
Exactly what I needed. Information succinct and very easy to understand!

Our fan was clicking because of a slight wobble. This helped. Thanks!
This dude rocks. Super helpful info, charming and goofy but not too silly as to waste time
And to think I could have fixed this issue ages ago if I knew it were so simple to fix! Thanks!
That's terrific! I was a bit hesitant to try it myself until I saw your video. Of course I may be in trouble because the fan is over the bed and I'l be wobbling instead!!
thanks so much for you video on how to fix a ceiling fan. I fixed it myself at no cost.
Hi Pamela! We are so glad to hear that & happy we could help :)
That was it! One loose screw was causing the misalignment. Fixed the problem in minutes. Thanks!
5 minutes later and our fan is working perfectly. Thanks so much.
Thanks for the lighthearted quick to the point vid
I wish all videos were to the point like this! Thanks, I'll go check if it works now.
Thanks for the tips, I will let you know how it worked for us here in Houston, Tx.
Your a bloody Genius!!! My fan spins dead nuts now!! Thanks Mate
This definitely helped one of my fans so thanks! I have another that wobbles just a little but it makes a fairly loud droning noise (wum wum wum wum…) any idea what to do? Thanks
Thank you. This seems really straight forward. Can you offer info on a new fan install with a 24" downrod? There is a wobble, and I am being told that there will be movement on the higher speeds. It is not on the highest speed. New install, what do you think in regard to the length of downrods?
Great video. I thought I'd have to buy a balancing kit but just tightening a couple of screws was all that was required. Many thanks
I'm gonna fix mah fan!!
Me too!
@@rickybobby5153yds
Too funny
Love these vibes
Awesome video my screws were loose glad the blade didn’t come off flying
Coby is excellent, advice is to the point and within a minute...good job, after all, time is money.
Thank you for watching! We really appreciate the feedback.
Good video; In my case it was the glass surrounding the light bulb (globe? lampshade?) that was loose. funny how the small things make big differences. check for anything loose!
Your video is the best wobbling celling fan out there. Keep up the very good work.
One screw tightened and a massive wobble is fixed. Thank You!
Excellent help, fix my Ceiling fan with no issue
Short, simple and to the point!
Helpful and hilarious! Bro! How'd you know my fan blades were dirty!
I love how you made it look easy. Thanks. I really think I can do this.
Worked liked a charm.
Our living room ceiling fan, and the master bedroom ceiling fan are so wobbly. I’m gonna see if this works out. my fan is wobbly to, but it isn’t as bad as the other two but my fan is a 52ech harbor breeze Springfield 2, 2/3 and it’s loud as heck but I still love my fan and it’s even the best air mover in our house😊
Excellent video I try this now solve the problem thank you
Great video;simple and easy to follow. So much better than other videos people post.
Absolutely fantastic video!! Straight forward and to the point, entertaining and yet no theatrical, unnecessary bullshit! It's so much more helpful when ppl make videos to share information and not to get attention. Lol Thank you for sharing, ppl like you are God sent. Sincerely your new follower. 😊
Well, this fixed my fan. I didn't have the ball system, but the ceiling mount bracket/hardware that connects the fan to the ceiling was loose. Also measured the fan blades - one of those was out by almost an inch. Great and quick advice thanks! Worked like a charm.
Holy cow Bro! I thought I needed a new fan. I did everything you said and it’s back to perfect! Thanks so much!!!
Thanks for helping. I was able to tighten the blades, and that fixed it.
Thanks very much for the tutorial. Ceiling fan is now fixed and operating smoothly. Thank you.
Measuring the blade distance for the ceiling was a genius move! Found out they were completely wrong and saved me from having to replace the mount. Yes!!!
Replaced our ceiling fan with a new one. It wobbles and this video was dead on. I used the existing bracket and it was loose. The down rod wasn't quite in place and I did adjust it so it was and I also tightened the blades attached to the brackets, and wobble gone. Didn't need to use the balancing kit at all.
Thank you.
Thanks for the very concise instructions! QUESTION: should a fan wobble a very little? Meaning, noticeable but not out of control like the one in your video.
+jaykob Thanks for the question! If your ceiling fan has a longer downrod, a tiny bit of wobbling would happen, but we'd still suggest using one that's shorter and more stable. Otherwise, a ceiling fan ideally should not wobble even a little. It can be due to a variety of factors (not installed properly, blades aren't balanced, not having a quiet motor, etc). Hope this helps! -Alexa
Great sense of humor and info. THANKS
Hi Linda Wilson-Williams, thanks for the question! Most fans can handle up to a 25 degree slope, so it would be helpful to know what degree your ceiling is sloped at to know if you would need a slope ceiling adapter. That could be causing the wobble. The other issue could be if the fan was not installed properly or if one of the blades is not installed properly. -Alexa
RUclips University to the rescue!!
I am going to give this a try. Hopefully it works. thanks for the video
Thank you for the best instructional video. House of DIY women and this made something scary become simple and smartly fixed! Much appreciated!
Awesome, quick, simple and to the point. Thanks
I had my electrician put a new fan up for me but it wobbles so bad, my friend said that wasnt right but he said it was ok..its worse and I'll clean it but I'm gonna bring down the housing and see if it's in the groove. Doubt it.. so this is really going to be great. Ty
Thanks Colbe! Very cool!
Thank u very much for showing that. It helped a lot
You are such a groovy cat. I couldn't comprehend what you were saying. Fans, Shmans. How's the surf in Del Mar?
Those production values bring it all home.
I would like to say thank you so much for the vedio on how to correct a. Wobbly selling fan .
Would a newly installed (< 30 days) OUTSIDE rated fan (52") on a sloped ceiling be a good candidate for a screw check? I have installed MANY fans over the years and none have developed a wobble so early if at all. TKS
Thank you. This is short and sweet.
Yes! This is excellent. Now I can keep my fan on while I sleep. Thank you!
Thank you
Anything changes in the last six years in regards to balancing ceiling fan?
It works. Thank you! Just measured and tightened the blades. Wha La!
Great tips! Worked great! Thank you sir!
thank you very much, so simple I don't believe it is so easy and really work.
Hey thank you this was a good video for my dad’s ceiling fan
Gonna try it, just bought a place in the desert, to the point video, I like!!!
Awesome! I will fix mine tomorrow. Now I know how, thank you 😊
It helped, thanks. Fixed my fan in less than 5 mins
Loved your video. Thanks for posting.. you rock!
Haha! Funny and informative.
This method got most of it fixed. However at higher speeds it still wobbles a bit. I think it wasn't assembled symmetrically.
It's a Hunter and looks tough to disassemble up high, so I'll look at balancing first.
Easiest fix with simplest instructional video
sometimes its boring to look at the ceiling fan steady. for safety reasons I found this video and its very helpful
This video actually helped fix my fan👍🏿👍🏿
Thank you. Such an improvement and no more noise!
Thank you. that worked.
Great, thank you
Great video will have a go tomorrow
Two thumbs up from me. i appreciated the tips and definitely the humour. Nice and short video, to the point. Thanks so much.
Funny video bro😀. Straight to the point on how to fix it, thanks
you did not wait long enough for me to clean my fan... HA HA HA... Thanks for the video....
