I have seven ceiling fans that were installed shortly after we had this home built almost four years ago. All are from Lowe's and are the Harbor Breeze brand.

The one in the great room has a five foot drop from a 20 foot ceiling. When on the high speed has some swaying and makes a slight noise.

The one in my office has a one foot drop from a ten foot ceiling; slight sway on mid and high speed and is sometimes making a "whirling" noise that is coming from the motor I believe. The noise comes and goes...

The last fan that I am having a problem with is in the sun room. Even on high speed it only goes like it is on low speed. It has been this way since the first day it was installed.

I went to the web site that was suggested for help and I quickly reminded myself that that I am NOT mechanically inclined... so any help or suggestions that you may have will be appreciated. Even if it is to hire an expert...

Thanks,
Stringer

I had a Harbor Breeze fan that started to get noisy. My son (Mrs. Fix-it's son) spent days and days trying to make it quieter with no luck. I had to replace the fan and now it's quiet.

Unfortunately with the Harbor Breeze fans (I have owned many) the only true "fix" for them is replacement. Sorry.

The one in the sun room should have been changed out and the nonworking one sent back to the store. Now it's a tad too late to return it and get a new one. If you want a speed higher than low, replacement is the only way to go. (no rhyme intended).

First of all, stop your fans from shaking by balancing them:

This may solve some of the other issues too.

The fan that only goes on low, how is it controlled? It sounds like a bad capacitor:

And for all other issues, take a look at:

I figure since you have a lot of fans, this is easier :)

Thanks to both of you, I will check the web sites.
