A Hampton Bay ceiling fan in my 11.5' studio bedroom has been a life-saver. An electrician helped with installation 5 years ago, and it works wonderfully--with one minor, persistent glitch: at the lowest setting, the rotation of the fan makes several different kinds of repetitive clicking sounds, in different patterns. Initially, the clicking noise would last for a few minutes, then disappear for a day, or several days. Now it clicks in multiple ways, related to the rotation, the entire time it is on. At the slightly higher speed (there are 4 speeds) the clicking noise diminishes, as the overall sound increases, with the increased speed and wind distribution. The third and fourth levels of speed are too strong for my studio.
What might be some possible solutions for the various clicking noises (I've tried WD-40 to little or no effect)?
Thanks,
AJ
