    Ceiling Fan wobble
    My 3 year old "Builders Best" ceiling fan has started to wobble. It has
    A 6" extension in between blades and ceiling and it clicks (which is a
    Bother at night). I want to try to fix it but not sure what to do.
    Thanks! Twojai:o

    Have you checked to see if there is anything heavy hanging off one of the blades?

    If you fan was OK for 3 years and started wobbling now it is likely a warped blade. Do check to see if there is any dirt build up but the warped blades can be replaced. Replave all blade at once and check the weight of each blade, it's a small label on the back of the blade.
