I have checked the listed trouble shooting advice provided with my fan installation instructions, but still had a intermitent faint rubbing sound. It is driving me crazy.


Thanks

The fan makes a rubbing sound.

The noise may be from the lower motor housing.

Check for bent housing or shipping damage if it's new

Balancing a Wobbling Ceiling Fan

If this doesn't solve the problem I would call place where you bought it

Be nice about it but ask to exchange it , a noisy fan is annoying
