How to Balance and Repair a Ceiling Fan

A wobbly ceiling fan can be annoying and even potentially dangerous. Follow Brent Holland as he shows you the step-by-step process to repairing and balancing your ceiling fan.

Clean fan of all dirt and debris.

Make sure all hardware is tightly fastened.

Over time the screws can loosen from the movement of the fan.

Locate balancing kit.

This kit should come with your fan or you can purchase one.

Place temporary weight on fan.

You want to first place the weight near the center of the blade that you think will be the problem.

Turn fan on to see if the weight is balancing the fan.

Move weight around until you find the right balancing point.

Once you find the right balancing point, apply the permanent weight.

Place the permanent weight in the middle of the blade, where the temporary weight was.

Remove temporary weight.

Watch as your fan is balanced. No wobble!
