Hampton Bay Fan Motor Noise

haze01 · #1 Sep 15, 2004, 09:27 AM

??? Our Hampton Bay ceiling fan/light combo (mdl AC-552 "MM""YL") makes noice only when the fan is on (loud humming - motor probably.) The noise diminishes greatly when the light is then turned on. The unit is on a wall rheostat power switch to dim the light and control the speed in addition to the 3 step speed of the unit. Please, how to fix? Is the rheostat incompatible with this unit?

If the speed control is a full range, these are inherently noisy. Change the speed control to a "click" 3 of 4 speed control. The pull chain switch should always remain on high. This should solve you noise problem.

Hi

I have same problem and also noise is reduced when the light is on. Did you ever solve that?
