    Hampton Bay 52" Avian fan clicking noise
    I purchased two Hampton Bay 52" Avian ceiling fans. Both work fine. However, both make a constant clicking noise when the blades are rotating clockwise or counter clockwise. Any suggestions on how to fix? Do I have a defective product? Thanks for any and all help.

    Check and make sure all screws are tight and nothing is bent. Something is connecting. Maybe a wire is in the way of moving parts.

    I had this same issue with an Avian I installed. The quality is not that great, so gap between the top and the rotating bottom was off, causing a screw to brush the top cowling. It was already up and wired when I noticed, so I muscled it a little bit and it now clears fine and hasn't made a peep since.

    Very good suggestion. I've never owned this particular model myself.
