Are you tired of seeing your ceiling fan wobble? Did you know it’s a simple process to get that wobble to go away? DirtFarmer Jay will walk you through the steps to get that fan running smoothly and looking great again!

Not only is it annoying to see a ceiling fan wobble, but it’s hard on the motor as well, introducing unnecessary wear that leads to premature failure of the fan. Those of us that JUST DO IT YOURSELF are too “thrifty” to have to spend money on replacing something before you have to!

You can buy a very inexpensive fan balancing kit ($2 or $3), or you can make your own using a common office binder clip and some washers and glue. If you go the DIY route, you’ll also need some double sticky tape for temporary weight placement.

There are four things that you must look for when balancing a fan: 1.) what speed is the wobble the worst? 2.) Are the fan blades all attached the same way to the blade holders? 3.) Are the fan blades all the same angle and the same distance from the ceiling? And finally, 4.) Are any of the blades heavier than the others?

Fortunately, determining all these things are easy to do by measurement or by a simple sequence of trial and error. You can invest 10 to 15 minutes and eliminate that wobble and the hassle that goes with it! Quit avoiding certain speeds on your fan, listening to clinking pull chains, or just putting up with it. With what you will learn, you can get rid of the aggravation and when someone asks how they can take care of the problem on their fan, you can say, “You can JUST DO IT YOURSELF!
