Ceiling Fan Moving Slowly

This video will give some insight into replacing the capacitor in a ceiling fan.

Ceiling fan moving slowly.

Then move the coin up and down the blade trying heavier coins as necessary until you find the optimal balance. All ceiling mounts have copper black white and red wires coming from them and are connected to a two way switch on the wall one controls fan speed the other the light. Two of these issues are mechanical. The slowness of the fan is sometimes cause by the capacitor if it s running slowly without making noise.

Loss of bearing lubrication and poor blade balance. Is your fan running slow. Our ceiling fan was not turning at full speed when selecting high speed the. Ceiling fans that operate at speeds slower than normal can have one of four problems.

The other two are electrical. Start by taping a dime to the middle of a single blade and turning the fan on high. New ceiling fan runs slow even on highest setting our home is a new build and was pre wired for ceiling fans. Either a bad capacitor or damaged winding.

If it s making noise then that s because of lack of oil in the motor.
