- Hi all,
We wanted to provide you with some help from our tech team about ticking fans. This isn't a final draft of the video but we thought the content was still worth sharing. We will be re-releasing this video in a few weeks. - Навчання та стиль
5 minutes on the ladder with the Phillips screwdriver and no more clicking! GREAT video!!
We can put a man on the moon but we can't engineer a damn fan that doesn't wobble or tick. Effing fans.
fans are built to be affordable. the spaceship that sent men to the moon are not affordable lol
@@aldfjak True, but market a fan "No wobble, no ticking Guaranteed!" Charge triple. I'd pay.
Facts
Amen
The fans that wobble and tick are usually the ones you get at Home Depot for $100 to $200 in my experience I would recommend you at least spend $300 to $400 for a ceiling fan especially if it's sitting above your bed and has the potential to come down on you.
VERY HELPFUL!!! Followed the video and resolved the noise in one ceiling fan and did maintenance on the five.
Hi John, thanks for the great video, we managed to fix our ticking ceiling fan with your advice
I was watching this hope it could help me and I gona try some of the things, but the ticking/tapping I hearing ONLY happens on Meduim speed, it low and high speed is quiet, what could cause only medium speed to do that
Useful information and to the point... Thank you
thanks so much! i tightened up all the screws and it helped a ton
this is an extremely well made video, kudos.
My Hampton Roads ceiling fan was clicking. The screws holding the fans blades on are 6 star design. Never seen it before and, of course, don't have a screw head that fits! Tried tightening the other screws that I could see, but nothing was loose. There is a clip holding the rod in place that could be the culprit - so I pushed it up to the point where it was tight.
Turned the fan on and it still made the ticking sound - although a bit softer. So I reached out and pushed the bottom of the fan a little - and the sound stopped! Apparently it has something to do with the way the top ball is seated. Good video btw...
Bill Sanders those screws sound like they could be Torx screws
Is there any hope if it's definitely something loose inside the motor housing? I can't figure out how to open that up, at least without tearing the whole thing down first.
well done, thanks!
I can’t sleep with ticking and i live in a hot area so I get most nights 3-4 hours of sleep cause of the fan
Macks ear plugs. Using these has improve my sleep quality greatly.
I have a new ceiling fan that has a single blade that seems to be rubbing in only one location. Should I try and bend the bald arm?
Very helpful thank you.
very good video. thank you
Didnt know Rob Schneider could fix fans
Thank you! It was indeed a wire hanging down. Tick is gone!
So what to do if the mounting ball groove doesn't sit well?
Thank you!
Good coverage. TU
Was trying to take an afternoon nap but the fan kept clicking so I watched this. I suspected the ball join was not in the groove that you mentioned and tried to twist it into place and it dropped down right away. The clicking persists but is much quieter.
🎉Thank you it worked🎉
Thanks very nice
I have a brand new fan and it clicks. When I first turn it on, it's ok, but after about 5-10 minutes, it starts clicking. If something was loose, wouldn't it click as soon as I turn it on?
same thing happens to me! drives my misophonia crazy and i can’t sleep. have you found a fix yet?
Happens to me too 😭
hi VideoJoeKnows.. m also getting clicking problem like you when I put on supply to the ceiling fan. but the difference is it doesn't do rotations, as in its getting stuck with clicky noises. any leads on that?
I tightened up screws on the blades(to the blade and to the base) and it didn't work. He mentioned jostling the poll around to see if it was out of it's socket. I grabbed ahold of the base and turned it tight left and it fixed things.
Installed a new fan, had a bunch of clicking, double checked the mount and it was the nut used to join the cables hitting the motor. Bent it out of the way, works silently now
And if there's no down-rod and it clicks??
I found the culprit of the ge phantom fan . The culprit being it's a piece of shit . Poorly made the fan motor is unbalanced even before the blades go on . The blade arms are not balanced .
I'm also here for the GE Phantom. Lol. It's a beautiful fan. But sucks so much.
That’s an Emerson Premium!
TLDR: Tighten all screws and tighten up all loose wires/cables.
I was so fed up with my fan ticking I hung some books from the fan
huh?
and I've been living with this for 4 years! 🙄
Yes
My fan knocks like crazy. It has a bit of sway, but it's on a 3ft down rod. I was going to post a video to see if anyone could help. i knowthis video is older, but hopefully this message reaches someone that can help.... I'm going insane, and it's getting so hot down here in FL.. Thanks!
Who els thought hitting the fan on the neck of it would just shut it up the whole vid
I always prefer to work "Live" on these devices it saves time.
By the end I felt bad for the guy. I know when you lose your verbiage, and are trying to recover in the moment.
Nothing has worked I’m brining out the wd40 can.
Did it work?
@@MsToolay yea but it’s temporary, eventually it seeps away from the squeaky spot and you have to spray it again.
Good video but why so many times does he take a deep breath and seem exasperated almost like "when will I be done with this" lol
Give the guy a break! He overcame his fears to present information for your benefit.
Because he's trying to help YOU by explaining ALL of the things that can cause this problem .... you idiot.... can u do any better???
i wish were in India
My fan is different from this one . Been ticking just recently. :/
No im here because i left youtube on autoplay to see where it takes me again ... Surprisingly i didnt end up in the dark side of youtube
The ticking is actually helping me sleep! 😂 Oh well.
It could be the fan blades.....SIGH.......well it could also be the this drop rod........SIGH....lol you sound worn out man
Nice information. Host seems nervous and fumbles for words- more rehearsal will help!
Thanks Ebert
Are you serious? He’s not a professional actor! He’s a guy at a fan store taking his time to record and post a video for free that will help people. Gimme a break!
