    Thanks for the straight shoot with no cuts. It's helpful to just see the entire process.

    My fan stopped wobbling while I was watching this video. Like it was listening. Crazy. Thanks man.

    Thank you dude. Ive been putting it off for awhile since its mostly a sound thing and i can drown it out, but i recently just ordered some RGB lightbulbs so actually seeing the wobble would be incredibly aggravating for me

      Thankfully it was a quick and easy process to balance a fan, so hopefully no more wobble for you.

    Bruh, a whole fan blade flew at me in my sleep. Use to have 5 blades. Now only 4.

      I was always terrified of fans falling off and crushing me while I slept.

    Mount the fan in horizontal position to test, spin it by hand. The has to stop and not reverse, if does put a little weight on a blade.
    It works like a car tire. Every time a tire is changed it should be balanced. A car tire has a little piece of lead attached to the rim. It puts a little weight to balance it.

    How long will it be before you remove the cotton balls?

    • @JoeMartinMVC

      Probably a few more years whenever I replace the whole fan.

    We took our blades off our ceiling fan and cleaned them they were in the kitchen. We have three fans in there and all dirty because it’s a kitchen. Grease! Now all of the fans wobble. Not sure if what you did well fix our problem?

      That doesn't sound like a lot of fun, that's for sure. But yes, balancing the fans with balancing weights should resolve the issue as long as the blades are fully seated/tightened down to the fan base.

    I put a new fan in what more control I turned the switch on after installing it light goes on but fan don’t go on. It sounds like the fans goes on but the blades don’t turn. Can you help me with the problem?

    • @JoeMartinMVC

      If you installed it correctly and you have power on the wire going to the fan motor I'd hinder a guess that the motor itself is bad, as normally if a fan will make a noise but not spin that means that the bearings are seized. It's rare that it happens to a brand new fan, but can happen.
      The other thing would be if it's not wired up correctly it can cause the same issue.
